Sweet Basil, hailing from the Ocimum basilicum plant native to Central Africa and Southeast Asia, is lauded for its aromatic appeal and phytochemical attributes. It's a multifaceted botanical known for its characteristic sweet, rustic, and cherry wood-like aroma, primarily due to the compound Eugenol.
When combined with certain complementary botanicals, Eugenol enhances the resting experience, aiding both in initiating rest and maintaining a state of calm. The relaxation properties of Sweet Basil can promote quicker satiety and relaxation of gut muscles, preparing the body, mind, and gut for a harmonious state of rest. This makes Sweet Basil a great ally for achieving a serene and restful night.
