basil vitality

Front and center in dozens of dishes from multiple regions of the world, Basil has been used for centuries as a delicious herb and more. Young Living offers Basil Vitality essential oil as a convenient way to access this well-loved seasoning whenever you like. Using an essential oil in place of a dried herb gives a brighter flavor, as well as the added convenience of year-round availability.

Young Living’s Basil Vitality oil has a sweet, slightly peppery flavor and is a delicious addition to savory dishes such as sauces, breads, soups, chicken, or seafood. This oil packs a very potent punch, as it is steam distilled from the leaves, stems, and flowers of the plant. We recommend starting with less than a single drop by dipping a toothpick in the oil and swirling the toothpick in your preparation. When baking, marinating, or dressing a salad, add Basil to the liquids before combining with other ingredients to ensure even distribution.
