Basil Oil—BP/USP Grade (British & United States Pharmacopoeia)

Our basil oil is carefully extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the basil plant. There are two main types:

- Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), known for oil derived from its seeds.

- Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), widely used in aromatherapy and wellness.

Revered across cultures and spiritual practices, basil has long been recognized for its sacred value and therapeutic benefits. Often referred to as the "Queen of Herbs," it continues to play an essential role in both traditional and modern healing.
