Basil (Ocimum basilicum)

Essential oil results from steam distillation of the leaves and flowering tops. One of the most useful oils for cephalic effects (stimulating and clearing the mind). When inhaled, it clears the mind, relieves intellectual fatigue, and gives the mind strength and clarity. It is also helpful for nervous disorders, especially those associated with weakness, indecision, or hysteria. Julia Lawless suggests it is suitable for those who need protection due to a debilitating illness, nervous exhaustion, or a change in life resulting in feelings of vulnerability. This essential oil is noted to help with anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, migraine, and nervous tension. (I have noticed that animals with these conditions choose this oil). Basil is also a great nerve tonic. It is my go-to essential oil while recovering from a brain injury.

Comes in a 5ml-dropper bottle.

Safety: It is relatively non-toxic, non-irritant oil though some individuals may be sensitive to it. Avoid during pregnancy.
