Organic Basil Oil (Certified Food, Cosmetic & Therapeutic Grade)

Organic Basil Oil, steam-distilled from the aromatic leaves of Ocimum basilicum, is a potent essential oil cultivated organically without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs. Native to tropical Asia and widely grown in India, Africa, and the Mediterranean, the basil plant typically grows up to 1 metre tall and is cherished in Ayurveda, Unani, and European herbalism for its healing properties.

The plant bears broad green leaves and clusters of white or purple flowers and releases a fresh, sweet-spicy aroma—making it both ornamental and therapeutic.

A Natural Heritage of Organic Basil Oil

Belonging to the Lamiaceae (mint) family, basil has long held a sacred status in traditional medicine systems. Its oil has been prized for centuries for its adaptogenic, antimicrobial, and aromatic qualities—used in temples, kitchens, and apothecaries around the world.

Key Basil Varieties Used for Organic Oil

1. Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil) – The most widely used basil species for essential oil, known for its high linalool and eugenol content.

2. Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum or Tulsi) – Used in Ayurvedic medicine but distinct from the culinary basil; used less commonly for commercial essential oil.
