Basil Linalol is well-known for its beneficial effect on the digestive system, it also calms nerves and relieves depression and anxiety.

Used traditionally in French Medical Aromatherapy for overthinking, overworking, anxiety, fatigue and OCD’s. Used in the Melissa’s Botanicals’ Breathe Easy Formula, Basil clears the mind and helps stop ruminative thinking and relieves nervous tension.

Basil is also used as an antispasmodic. Used in formulas for muscles in spasm or menstrual cramps.

 Use Basil In cooking to make mouthwatering dishes while supporting digestive health one drop at a time. Try in Pesto, Egg dishes, Pasta Dishes, Salads, or just spicing up your olive oil. These recipes add freshness and stimulate digestive health.

Originally Pesto was a food/medicine made from basil to kill food born bacteria and parasites. So, it is great to use in food to balance micro-flora and maintain a flat tummy!

If your digestive system feels sluggish or you feel stressed, treat yourself to a massage with 2oz massage oil, 40 drops basil and 10 drops peppermint
.

Warning – There are many Basil Essential oils on the marketplace. Our basil is the linalool type, high in linalool acytate. Other Basils are high in the controversial Methyl Chavicol, Methyl Cinnamate, or Methyl Eugenol, which can be toxic or irritating.

Skin Evaluation Guidance

• Do not apply to broken skin.
• Avoid eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to areas that are irregular, rapidly changing, bleeding, or clinically uncertain.
• When in doubt, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
• Keep away from children.

Botanical preparations should never replace appropriate dermatological evaluation.

Patch Testing – For sensitive individuals:

• Apply 1 drop to the end of a Q-tip. Rub 1-2 passes gently to the inner forearm about 1 inch. Place a bandaid over the area to keep the essential oil on the skin.
• Observe for 24–48 hours.
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Essential Oil Removal Protocol

If essential oil contacts an unintended or sensitive area:

    1    Do not apply water. USE OLIVE OIL AND A TOWEL.

               Water “chases” essential oils into the skin (fat) oil binds with it becuase it is a larger fatty molecule than either the skin or the essential oil. So the essential oil will drive what it can back down to the skin and bind to the olive oil adn you wipe it way and then you are done!

    3     Apply pure olive oil to a clean cloth in several areas.

    4     Blot gently and wipe away. Repeat on different areas of the cloth (try to use a

            clean area of olive oil in your first few initial passes.

    5    Repeat with fresh oil until discomfort subsides.

Essential oils are lipophilic (they absorb into fat) and hydrophobic. (they are “phobic”(afraid) of  “hydro” (water) so if you put water on your essential ol on your skin – it is going to drive it in further. Please have some olive oil near you at all times while using essential oils. If they get into your eyes, it is easy to quickly remove them like this if you are prepared. We do sell Essential oil Removal Kits For $19.99. It’s great to have one in the car and at home .

If a child or adult drinks a half of a teaspoon or more of any essential oil, in france, the direction is to drink as much olive oil up to a cup – you will probably throw up – but tha ts good thin – so you will live?

and less for some. who is sensitive, have them drink as much of a cup of olive oil straight down as soon as possible. Remember,  essential oils penetrate into the skin very quickly, so always get your olive oil out and on the spot asap. So, please keep your essential oils in high cupboards and away from children.

Olive oil assists in lifting aromatic compounds from the skin surface.
