Emotional Wellness: Use aromatically with an oil diffuser or massage over the heart and solar plexus to lessen feelings of fear.
Mouth Cleanser and Breath Freshener: There are commercial toothpaste and mouthwash products that contain basil essential oil, but you can also make one for yourself at home. You can mix 1 – 2 drops of essential oil to your toothpaste or mouthwash for optimum oral hygiene and fresh breath.
Acne Treatment: Add a drop or two of basil oil to your toner and apply with a cotton swab to problem areas. You can also use jojoba oil as a carrier oil for your basil essential oil and apply on your face to help clear bacteria that clog pores.
Note: Basil essential oil should always be mixed with a carrier oil like coconut oil or jojoba oil. If you’re going to apply it topically, dilute first before applying to areas such as the face, neck, etc.
