When i think of Basil I think of my Poppy’s Italian cooking. Basil ( Ocimum basillicum) is part of the Mont Family. It is native to the tropical climates. It is a fragrant herb. I find it easily grows in my home in Connecticut. I prefer to grow all of my herbs in clay pots There are many types of basil- the most common is sweet basil. You should know there is purple basil, lemon basil and even Thai basil.
When I think of basil I think of the oil form. This is called the Oil of Renewal. I often suggest the use of oil of basil for patients who feel overwhelmed, fatigued, and are stressed. This could be anyone today with the world happenings. I feel it helps patients achieve a better balance in their lives.
It is definitely an energizing herb as well as a herb for rejuvenation .
Until tomorrow…
