A few words on Basil essential
oil Theessential oil of Basil, also known as Exotic Basil, has powerful antiviral and antispasmodic properties. It soothes digestive and gastrointestinal spasms and, as a tonic for the liver, gall bladder and digestive system, promotes light, trouble-free digestion.
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory, it is also useful for countering tendonitis, joint discomfort and rheumatism, and, alone or in synergy, soothes muscle cramps. It is also useful before exercise, softening muscles.
On the mental level, it combats lethargy and nausea, promotes concentration and helps to regain a sense of proportion. Recommended for people stressed by work.
There are many varieties of basil, but exotic basil is the most widely used in aromatherapy. It comes from India, Vietnam and Madagascar. It's worth noting that a study has been carried out cancelling out suspicions that methyl-chavicol is carcinogenic when found in the form of basil extract and not in its pure state (http://edepot.wur.nl/121896).
Gourmets who also want (or prefer) to enjoy the properties of basil in a less concentrated form can try a delicious basil pesto.

Characteristics of Basil essential
oilBioflore products are systematically organic, with very few exceptions, and are particularly appreciated by individuals and therapists concerned with purity and clear definition.
Bioflore essential oils are botanically and chemically defined (or "chemotyped"), are natural, comply in every respect with modern aromatherapy criteria and are obtained by traditional steam distillation, or by simple mechanical expression of the peel in the case of Rutaceae fruits. These are complete essential oils: the distillation process has been carried out from start to finish. They are pure and unrectified ("100% pure and natural"): nothing has been added to their natural biochemical composition. The label mentions the origin of the plant, the "producing organ" (or part of the plant that has been distilled), the Latin name, identifying the species precisely, and finally the chemotype or biochemical characteristic of a given species, which may vary according to the biotope.
