Basil Flower Essence is traditionally associated with integrating sexuality and spirituality so desire, intimacy and personal values can be held as parts of one whole self rather than as opposing identities.
Basil flower essence is prepared from Ocimum basilicum, the familiar culinary basil in the mint family. When allowed to flower, the plant sends up upright spikes of small white to pale purple blossoms above strongly aromatic leaves, combining a sensual, fragrant body with a clearly rising flowering form.

The imbalance can appear as secrecy, shame, split relationships or the belief that desire is incompatible with spiritual worth.
The balanced quality is not suppression of desire, but sacred wholeness — the ability to live one's values without cutting off an important part of human embodiment.
