If its name means "royal herb", it is probably because its virtues are worthy of the greatest essential oils. Its positive effect on digestive comfort is very extensive and makes it an excellent everyday ally. Essential oil accompanies the ups and downs of your stomach, but it is also a precious friend to your mind, calming anxieties, nervous breakdowns and mood swings. A powerful antispasmodic, it is also of great help to people prone to spasmophilia. Finally, if Indians associate it with the goddess Vishnu, it may be because Basil is a formidable ally for women (painful periods, hot flashes, etc.). ). Precautions for use: Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always use essential oils diluted in a vegetable oil.
