Basil (Sweet) Oil Fun Facts

Basil has been used for over 5,000 years, with origins in India, Asia, and the Mediterranean. It was considered a sacred herb in some cultures, especially in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.

The name "basil" comes from the Greek word “basileus,” meaning king. Hence, it's often referred to as the "royal herb".

In some traditions, basil essential oil is used for cleansing rituals, protection, and removing negative energy. It's popular in meditation and energy work.

What is Basil (Sweet) Oil?

Sweet Basil Essential Oil is derived from the leaves of the Ocimum basilicum plant, a member of the Mint family native to India. Despite its origins, the name “Basil” stems from Latin and Greek, where it translates to “royal plant,” a nod to the herb’s esteemed qualities—including its vibrant green leaves and refreshing, herbaceous aroma.

Historically valued for its cleansing and purifying properties, Basil has been used for centuries in traditional wellness practices. Today, Sweet Basil Essential Oil is widely celebrated in aromatherapy and skincare for its invigorating scent and revitalizing effects. Extracted through steam distillation of the leaves, this essential oil remains a trusted choice for those seeking to support clear, healthy-looking skin with a naturally derived botanical.
