Alone or in synergy, diluted in vegetable oil to allow a local external use, it softens the muscles before exercise and relieves muscle cramps.
On the psycho-emotional level, the essential oil of basil refreshes and revives the spirit. We will not use it to disconnect from the real world but to find the right measure of things: it helps people stressed and overwhelmed by the daily routine to get high. (...) It can be used in friction (always dilute) in massage, in the bath or in atmospheric diffusion. "
