Basil (Ocimum basilicum). This herb should be used in moderation and only for short periods, there is a concern about possible toxicity.
Use it in steam inhalations and in small amounts in massage and oil blends.
The main action of basil is on the nervous system and has balancing, reviving and strengthening effect.
