From Royal Herb to Modern Distillery

Basil's journey from sacred Indian gardens to your aromatherapy shelf.

- The name "basil" comes from the Greek "basileus", meaning king — a herb once reserved for royalty and sacred rituals.

- In India, sweet basil and its cousin tulsi have been cultivated for over 4,000 years and remain central to Ayurvedic tradition.

- Steam distillation of the fresh leaves yields a pale, mobile oil with a sharp, sweet-spicy character that captures the living plant.
