Basil is best known as a culinary herb with it’s unique kind-of-sweet flavour. Apart from being really delicious, basil is also a rich source of vitamin K and contains small amounts of other vitamins and minerals.

Basil can also be used as a herbal medicine for a range of conditions:

  • expel intestinal worms
  • relieve stomach cramps & intestinal gas
  • stimulate the appetite
  • to treat insect bites and snake bites
  • stimulate the production of breastmilk
  • for head colds

As with any herbal medicine advice on Vie De La Vegan – this is GENERAL ADVICE only, to be used at your own risk. Please discuss with your doctor or herbalist/naturopath before taking medicinal herbs.
