BASIL
BASIL (Ocimum basilicum)
Currently, natural products are being used as a therapeutic alternative in the treatment and prevention of several diseases due to their low toxicity and relevant pharmacological potential. Thus, we can highlight basil (Ocimum basilicum L), one of the most used aromatic plants worldwide.
Basil is used in the traditional medicine in many Asian, African, and South American countries for treatment of diseases. The therapeutic activity of basil is partly due to the presence of essential oils which possess a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects.
