Basil: "Ka-phrao"
Sacred Basil is an annual herbaceous plant that resembles Sweet
Basil but has narrower and often times reddish-purple leaves.
The fresh leaves, which are used as a flavoring, contain approximately
0.5% volatile oil, which exhibits ant microbial activity, specifically
as a carminative, diaphoretic, expectorant and stomachache. |
