Basil, or Sweet Basil, is a common name for the culinary herb Ocimum basilicum (pronounced /ˈbæzɪl/ or, in the US, /ˈbeːzɪl/), of the family Lamiaceae (mints), sometimes known as Saint Joseph’s Wort in some English-speaking countries.
Basil, originally from India[1], is best known as a culinary herb prominently featured in Italian cuisine, and also plays a major role in the Northeast Asian cuisine of Taiwan and the Southeast Asian cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Depending on the species and cultivar, the leaves may taste somewhat like anise, with a strong, pungent, often sweet smell.
There are many varieties of Ocimum basilicum, as well as several related species or species hybrids also called basil. The type used in Italian food is typically called sweet basil, as opposed to Thai basil (O. basilicum var. thyrsiflora), lemon basil (O. × citriodorum) and holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), which are used in Asia. While most common varieties of basil are treated as annuals, some are perennial in warm, tropical climates, including holy basil and a cultivar known as ‘African Blue’.
Basil is originally native to India and other tropical regions of Asia, having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years.

Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Common Basil, St. Josephwort, Sweet Basil, Garden Basil, Tulsi ”The smell of basil is fit for a king’s house.” – John Parkinson, Apothecary and Herbalist (1567-1650) Indigestion? Take Basil to calm nausea, while relieving stomach cramps, flatulence, constipation and other gastric problems. Highly aromatic Basil has also been recommended for headache and whooping cough. History: Basil is an aromatic annual, native to tropical Asia and Africa and introduced into Europe in ancient times. The herb grows to a height of two to three feet and is now widely cultivated not only for its medicinal properties, but also for its culinary value as a flavoring agent. The high esteem in which this herb is held may be derived from its word origins. Its English name and botanical specific may come from the Greek, basilikon, meaning king, or the Latin basilicus, meaning royal. The Roman, Pliny, described its now-well-known benefits as a digestive that was effective in relieving flatulence and stomach cramps. Its properties had an almost spiritual reputation, as some cultures associated it with misfortune, while others regarded it as a love token or a powerful protector. In ancient Egypt, the plant was used as an embalming herb, and it has been said that Basil was strewn in the tomb of Christ. In the Caribbean and parts of Mexico, Basil was used to return a lover’s roving eye and to attract money. In India, Basil (tulsi ) is considered a sacred herb. It was held in such high esteem that it was used in courts to swear upon, and next to the Lotus, it was considered one of the most sacred plants. Its ”divine” essence is actually a disinfectant, and because it is used in almost every Hindu house, it is believed to protect the family. In Ayurvedic medicine, Basil is widely used for snakebites and as a general tonic for chills, coughs, skin problems and earaches. Its chemical components include essential oils (including estragol, eugenol, lineol, linalol), tannins, caffeic acid, vitamin C and beta-carotene. Beneficial Uses: Delicious to eat, Basil is an effective remedy for a variety of digestive and gastric disorders. It has been used as a carminative to relieve flatulence. It is also thought to ease stomach cramps and nausea and to help stop vomiting. Basil prom |
