Quantity:

Common Names: Basil (Egyptian)
Latin Name: Ocimum Basilicum
Origin: USA

Short Description:

Basil has antibacterial, antiviral and digestive aid properties, but it is best known for its flavorful taste. Great in spaghetti, soup, pizza and more.

This highly aromatic sweet herb has several medicinal uses. It is also administered as a flavoring in food and sauces, dried leaves or an infusion.

From our Reading and/or Experience:

Basil is aromatic with carminative and cooling properties. The part of the plant that is above the ground is used medicinally.
It is used to treat mild nervous disorders, to lift fatigue, anxiety and depression. It strengthens concentration and clears the mind.
An infusion of basil is said to be good for obstructions of internal organs and in stopping vomiting and nausea. It helps in chest infections, bronchitis, colds and fever.
It is used as a tea for digestion, for headaches and migraines and a good insect repellent.
Basil has also been used for various topical applications - as a poultice or salve for insect bites, acne and ringworm; as a gargle or mouthwash for thrush; as a bath herb for increased energy; and as an eyewash for tired eyes.

Special Considerations:

We use basil often in cooking or herbal combinations. Basil can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), and children.
As is the case with most herbs, basil should be stored in a dark, dry and cool place.
