About the Product
Basil has survived the negative appraisal of one 17th French man who believed that its scent caused scorpions to breed on the brain to become one of the cornerstones of French and Italian cuisine and to enjoy a rich history in both Eastern and Western medicines. There are over 150 types of basil around the world although only some are suitable for therapeutic use. The Chinese have used basil oil to invigorate blood circulation, improving the health of the kidneys and the digestion whilst Far Eastern medicine used it in the treatment of a range of respiratory ailments including bronchitis, coughs and colds. Western medicines preferred to use basil for the relief of nervous ailments, rheumatic pain and skin conditions. Our current understanding of basil acknowledges the contribution of both Eastern and Western traditions and regards the herb as an effective remedy for respiratory, digestive and nervous complaints.Basil should not be used during pregnancy and may cause some sensitisation.
