Do you like the smell of basil pesto or freshly picked basil leaves in a summer salad? Then please be careful here, 100% essential oil Basil can surprise you with its aroma. Its scent is pleasantly refreshing with interesting undertones. It mixes the aroma of mint, thyme and licorice. You can feel this "pungency".

It improves memory and eliminates symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and depression. That is why it combines so well with citrus oils and lavender.

Relaxing basil massage
Thanks to its antispasmodic effect, basil essential oil is suitable for massages, especially for muscle tension and strain after a hard workout. It synergistically complements very well with cold-pressed mustard oil, which also relieves stiff muscles. Let's combine these treasures into a simple massage mixture with a 1% dilution. Add 1 drop of basil to 10 ml of mustard oil. We will perform a tolerance test on the elbow and we can massage happily. I personally recommend warming this massage oil in a warm bath to body temperature. This will enhance the warming effect in case of rheumatism or insufficient blood circulation in the body.
A moment of relaxation is different for everyone. Let's not be afraid to express our uniqueness through aromatherapy - the scents of pure nature. Our body will whisper to us.
