Sweet Basil will become not only your secret weapon in cooking, but in hormonal and health support too! Originally found in Central Africa and Southeast Asia, this humble herb became so treasured for its benefits that its now cultivated globally. While you may know it for its strong, clove-like aroma and use in dishes like pasta, soups and salads - this botanical is not to be underestimated.
Its long been enjoyed as a simple herbal tea in Ayurvedic, Unani, and Traditional European medicine, thanks to its rich concentration of essential oils (like linalool, eugenol, and methyl chavicol), tannins, flavonoids, phenols, and rosmarinic acid. Why we love it: Sweet Basil, whether infused in oil for food or brewed as tea, has a multitude of health benefits at its disposal.
Its been used to aid digestion, soothe menstrual cramps, provide respiratory relief, and act as a mild anti-inflammatory with antimicrobial properties. Its also considered mildly adaptogenic - helping calm the nervous system, balance hormones and ease tension, stress, anxiety and fatigue when used in more concentrated amounts.
