▎Essential Oil Introduction
Sweet basil is a commonly found herb in many countries. It inherits the strong resilience typical of the Lamiaceae family, making it highly adaptable to various environments, much like thyme or rosemary. Basil is a vast family with many varieties, and it has been cultivated for over 5,000 years, beginning in India. Today, it is a key ingredient in both Italian and South Asian cuisines. The leaves have a strong, fennel-like aroma, adding a wide range of flavors to dishes.
There are numerous varieties of basil, and the chemical composition (chemotype) varies depending on where it is grown. When selecting basil essential oil, it is important to be aware of the chemotype. Sweet basil, due to its higher linalool content, is a gentler option compared to tropical basil. This makes sweet basil a more suitable choice for children experiencing digestive discomfort or bloating.
