Aromasensia Basil Essential oil clear, sweet and slightly spicy aroma. Invigorating tonic, clears the mind and promotes concentration, especially in times of fatigue. Ideal to accentuate the senses. Essential oils are the aromatic substances that give the characteristic aroma to many plants. These substances are volatile oils that plants use to protect themselves from insects and microorganisms, so they have a very powerful biological action. The volatility of these substances allows them to be isolated normally by steam distillation. We recommend always using diluted essential oils. For Massage (Dilution in 100 ml of Carrier Oil) 1% dilution (mild, for sensitive skin) → 20 drops (1 ml) of essential oil 2% dilution (standard for adults) → 40 drops (2 ml) of essential oil 3% dilution (strong) → 60 drops (3 ml) of essential oil General rule: Use a 1-2% dilution for full body massage and up to 3% for specific areas. For Diffusers: 100 ml of water in a diffuser → 3-5 drops of essential oil More intense aroma → 6-10 drops, but avoid excessive use to avoid saturating the environment - Internal consumption of essential oils, particularly undiluted, is not recommended except under professional supervision. Some oils are for external use only. Talk to a doctor before using pure essential oils on pregnant women and children under three years of age. - It is recommended to dilute the essential oils used on the skin in a very penetrating vegetable oil or add them to bath water. - Essential oils can be used separately or in combination, but the concentration should never exceed 5%. - Keep out of the reach of children. - Some oils may cause skin irritation and/or sensitization and should be used in dilutions of less than 1-2%. Some oils need to be used more carefully. - Certain essential oils, especially citrus, react to sunlight. Therefore, it is advisable to use them at night. (except for use in shampoos and soaps). - In case of excessive accidental ingestion or oils for external use, do not induce vomiting. Drink half a liter of water and go to the doctor. - Avoid contact with essential oils near eyes or mucous membranes. If this occurs, wash with plenty of water. If discomfort persists after 10 minutes, consult a doctor. Store in a cool, dry place.
