Tulsi Holy Basil Essential Oil | Sustainably Cultivated 15 ml

TULSI, also known as Holy Basil, is one of the most important plants in Ayurveda. Its essential oil has a fresh, green and distinctly spicy aroma, with minty, camphor-like facets and a warm note reminiscent of clove and anise.

• 100% pure Tulsi essential oil
• intensely herbal-fresh, spicy aroma with mint, clove and a slightly balsamic depth
• for diffusers, meditation, yoga and aromatic rituals
• traditionally associated with clarity, focus and spiritual practice
• blends well with citrus oils, geranium, clary sage, eucalyptus and conifer oils
• obtained from sustainably cultivated leaves and flowering plant parts
• steam-distilled in India
  

In a diffuser, Tulsi creates a clear, invigorating and simultaneously calm atmosphere in the room. Its intense aroma is well suited to meditation, yoga, breathing exercises or focused work, and is also a good choice when heavy or sweet room fragrances feel overwhelming.

Tulsi blends well with bergamot, lime, clary sage, geranium, eucalyptus or conifer oils. Citrus oils add freshness to its spicy side, while lavender or geranium make the blend softer.

Aroma & Aromatherapy

Tulsi initially brings to mind freshly cut basil, but is considerably more complex: green herbal notes mingle with mint, spicy warmth and a dry, slightly balsamic finish.

In the Ayurvedic tradition, Tulsi is regarded as a sacred plant and is associated with purification, protection, clarity and presence. Many households in India still cultivate Tulsi in courtyards or in front of their homes and incorporate the plant into daily rituals.

As a room fragrance, the oil is especially suitable when a fresh, focused and less sweet aromatic atmosphere is desired. Due to its intensity, just a few drops are usually sufficient in a diffuser.
