Basil—The Oil of Renewal

Fatigue, low energy, being overwhelmed, struggling to cope with life's stressors? Basil oil (Ocimum basilicum) is the oil of renewal. It can bring hope and optimism to the tired soul. It's energizing, rejuvenating and strengthening.

It's also helpful for soothing stings and is delicious in summery marinades. I love using it to flavor my homemade salad dressing.

This oil can be used aromatically, topically or internally. Added to a diffuser blend with mints and citrus it's sure to promote a smile.
