  See topical dilution guide below for safe topical application
• Massage: Dilute a few drops of Basil Oil into a carrier oil, massage oil, or moisturiser to soothe sore, tight and fatigued muscles.
  
• Skin Serum: Add a few drops to a carrier oil of choice; we recommend Jojoba Oil or Rosehip Oil as these carrier oils are well known for their skin benefits. Once diluted, apply nightly to desired areas, avoiding your eyes and sensitive areas. Alternatively, you can add a couple of drops to your existing skincare products (cream / lotion) to boost their healing and rejuvenating properties.
• Bath: Add a few drops of Basil Essential Oil to a warm bath to promote emotional and immune support.
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Basil Oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with your skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle!
