Basil Oil is extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of Ocimum Basilicum, commonly known as Tulsi or Van Tulsi in traditional and regional markets. The oil is obtained through steam distillation, retaining the natural aroma, active constituents, and therapeutic properties.
In Ayurveda, Basil (Tulsi) is described as Ushna and Pitta-Kapha balancing, traditionally used in respiratory wellness, massage oils, and external herbal formulations. Basil Oil is widely used for aromatherapy, skin care, and general wellness applications.
Classical guidelines recommend using the oil externally or in aromatherapy blends, diluted appropriately, and storing in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain potency.
