Basil blends beautifully with many other oils, but particularly well with the citrus oils such as Bergamot, Lemon & Grapefruit as well as Neroli, Bay and Lavender. 

Originally from Asia and Africa but now found throughout the Mediterranean and in the USA.

Add 2-3 drops to a vaporiser or traditional burner to help lift spirits and energize. Dilute in a carrier oil and used in massage to help ease tension and soothe soreness of the muscles. Add a few drops to a bath or shower to help awaken the senses and engage the brain.

Basil means "Royal Remedy" or "King" in Greek.

Dilute in a carrier oil before skin application. Keep away from children and out of eyes. Do not take internally or apply undiluted to the skin. For further advice on using essential oils to treat medical conditions, we recommend you seek advice from a professional.

Horses are MUCH more sensitive to essential oils than humans.

Never force an essential oil on a horse

Allow a horse to choose and breathe what they need and the

length of time they need with a particular oil offering only about

once per week unless their health or oestrus dictates otherwise.

If they breathe in 3-4 oils in a session, stop and offer others

another day as more in one session will overwhelm the horse.

The horses’ choice may not always be what you would have

chosen.

Never put an oil on a horses’ skin or allow them to ingest an oil

unless advised to do so by a health care practitioner. 

Citrus oils can burn the skin in sunlight.

Essential oils are not a replacement for traditional medicine.

Basil oil can be used both topically and aromatically. On muscles, it helps relax muscles and relieves spasms. As aromatherapy, it can wake the horse's and the rider's senses and help them focus on the training.
