Basil, Sweet, India
- Item #: bass
Sweet basil, ocimum basilicum, has a slightly sweet and spicy aroma that many find to be uplifting. Some of the problems that it may help solve include muscular aches and pains, persistent bronchitis and coughs, and mild depression and anxiety.
Robert Tisserand, in his book The Essential Oil Safety Data Manual, has said: "Oil of Basil is an excellent, indeed perhaps the best, aromatic nerve tonic. It clears the head, relieves intellectual fatigue, and gives the mind strength and clarity."
