DESCRIPTION
Basil, whose name in Greek translates to "royal remedy" or "king," has a rich history that spans cultures and centuries. In the 16th century, powdered basil was a cherished remedy. The ancient Egyptians believed that this herb held the power to open the gates of heaven for those nearing the end of life. In Hindu tradition, basil sprigs are placed with the deceased to protect them from evil as they transition between lives.
While Western European folklore sometimes viewed basil as a symbol of malevolence, it was also embraced by the Eastern Orthodox Church, where it was used in the preparation of holy water, highlighting its sacred and purifying qualities.
Today, Basil Organic Carrier Oil continues to be celebrated for its soothing and nourishing properties. Whether you're exploring its rich historical connections or harnessing its benefits in modern formulations, this oil offers a versatile and luxurious experience, deeply rooted in tradition and reverence.
