Considered a sacred herb in India and in other cultures, basil is one of the most popular culinary herbs in the world, with a long history of use for both culinary, medicinal, and religious purposes. It’s mentioned in many of the classic herbal compendia, and in ancient times inspired both reverence and scorn. As ridiculous as it may seem today, basil was once thought to be able to spontaneously generate and/or grow scorpions, sometimes in the brain! Basil is a part of the traditions of many religions around the world, and some cultures consider it an aphrodisiac. For aromatherapy purposes, basil essential oil has a warm, spicy, pungent aroma that’s uplifting, energizing, and purifying.
