▎Essential Oil Introduction
Basil Clocimum (Clove Basil) is a perennial subshrub that grows 0.5-1 meter tall, with an upright habit and aromatic foliage. The stem is square, and the leaves are opposite, ovate or ovate-lanceolate with glandular dots on the underside. The inflorescence is a terminal umbel with a two-lipped, yellowish-white flower crown. The leaves are used in Italian cuisine, providing a unique flavor when combined with garlic and tomatoes, enhancing the overall taste. They can also be used in perfumes or soaps to impart a distinct scent and have repellent effects on mosquitoes and intestinal parasites. Widely distributed in tropical regions, it is cultivated in southern China.
Clove basil essential oil is a pale yellow to reddish-brown liquid at room temperature, with a clove-like aroma and a spicy, tingling sensation. It darkens to brown and becomes thicker over time when exposed to air or stored for extended periods.
