What is Dr. Valnet Basil essential oil?

Some notions of botany

About 30 cm tall, basil is an aromatic plant, 20 to 60 centimeters tall, with oval-lanceolate leaves that are pale to dark green. The upright, branched stems tend to become woody and bushy. Its small, white flowers are grouped in long, tubular spikes, shaped like elongated clusters. Basil should be prevented from bolting by pinching the ends of the stems as soon as they form, to increase its leaf production.

Originally from central Africa, it was probably domesticated in India, then spread to Asia before being brought back to the West by soldiers in Alexander the Great's army, 300 years before our era.

Over time, it has acclimatized to the climate of the south of France where it has become an essential aromatic (notably for the famous pistou!).

A little history….

Its name, derived from the Greek basilikon (king), designated, according to legend, a mythical winged serpent, whose gaze could kill anyone who crossed its path.

A symbol of royal power, in Antiquity it was associated with divine power and protection, thanks to its subtle and refined fragrance.

It is said that victors and emperors wore a crown of basil before it was replaced by laurel.

In the Middle Ages, witches extracted a love elixir from it.

Since the 14th century, the term "basil" has referred to the aromatic herb that we know, no doubt because it was presented on the table of kings.
