Basil linalol organic essential oil from the Phytosun Aroms aromatherapy laboratory is the essential oil for the "businessman" who is constantly rushed and stressed, and has become an insomniac because of his worries.
Phytosun Aromsorganic linalool basil essential oil is a natural treasure with multiple benefits. This annual herb, 20 to 50 cm high, is characterized by its twiggy stems and oval leaves, which are bright dark green and sometimes wine-red due to anthocyanins. Its yellowish-white to reddish flowers are grouped in whorls of six, creating a fascinating natural spectacle.
Cultivated varieties include tall green basil, often called pistou or Genovese basil, purple basil, lemon basil and Thai basil. Basil, known as the pistou of southerners and the key ingredient in Italian pesto, originated in Asia. The Greeks discovered it thanks to Alexander the Great and, in medieval Europe, it was used in witchcraft plants.
Basil essential oil has anthelmintic, insecticidal, antispasmodic and neuroregulatory properties. It is also an antioxidant, venous decongestant, prostatic decongestant, anti-infectious, antifungal, digestive and hepatobiliary tonic. It normalizes intestinal flora and relieves pain thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
The benefits ofbasil essential oil are many and varied. It is mainly used for its nerve-balancing effects, thanks to its high concentration of linalool, a molecule with anxiolytic properties. Linalool acts as an antagonist to glutamate, an excitatory neuromediator, preventing activation of specific glutamate receptors.
Basil essential oil is also a powerful antibacterial agent. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy against several strains of bacteria, including S. aureus, E. faecalis, L. monocytogenes, E. aerogenes, E. coli, S. enteris and S. typhimurium. This antibacterial activity is mainly due to the presence of linalool and eugenol.
Basil essential oil also has antifungal properties thanks to its linalool and eugenol compounds. Although these components are more effective individually, their synergy in the essential oil enhances their antifungal action. Furthermore, linalool and eugenol are recognized for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, inhibiting the transmission of the pain message and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Basil essential oil is also used for its antispasmodic properties, particularly for digestive disorders. Estragole, although present in small quantities in this chemotype, acts at gastric and intestinal level to block transmission of the nervous message responsible for smooth muscle contractions.
