Also called great basil or Saint-Joseph’s-wort, we use basil in our Study and Concentration essential oil blend because of its properties that promote concentration and mental awareness.  The scent is slightly licorice-like with heavy green notes.  The basil plant is often found in home vegetable gardens and is the primary ingredient in pesto.
