The dual effect of basil essential oil
The Aromafume Basil essential oil is 100% natural and undiluted, distilled from Indian basil leaves. The 10 ml bottle holds a green, herbaceous scent that both energises and calms you. Aromatherapy traditions cherish it for this very reason: it lifts the morning mood and quietens the noise of the day in the evening.
A natural insect repellent from the diffuser
A lesser-known benefit of basil is that its aroma helps to keep certain flying insects at bay. If you enjoy open windows on summer evenings, a few drops in the diffuser create a pleasant herbal layer that gently deters mosquitoes, without chemicals. The air keeps its fresh, herbal character.
How to dose correctly
The oil is highly concentrated; for an average-sized room, 3-5 drops are more than enough. You may use it in a soapstone oil burner, an electric diffuser or blend it with other oils. Basil pairs well with citrus and lavender notes, so feel free to experiment with combinations.
Indian origin and quality
The basil plant in India develops particularly rich aromatic compounds, as the warm, humid climate yields a powerful essence. Aromafume sources its raw material directly from the growing region, so you receive a true, characterful herbal essence.
Storage and caution
Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from children and pets. The oil is intended for external use only and must not be applied directly to the skin in undiluted form. Expectant mothers and households with small children should consult an experienced aromatherapist before use.
