For sure plants have many medicinal and other benefits that human use to derive. Reading your post I have discovered few new things about "Cariquito Purple" which is also a wild flower in India , we call them Putus but never knew about the so called practices of bathing to get rid of bad luck. Very interesting to know.
On the other hand "Basil" is a holy plant in India which are worshipped. It has some special mention and references in our Vedas and shastras. An important ayurvedic medicine too. Every Indian must have a Basil plant in their home due to the various medicinal benefits. We also use to have Tea made up of Basil and use it in other purposes.
Great to find so many new things about other plants. We have common name but have different uses.

That's right, @steemflow, in some countries these plants have other names and surely other uses. The ideal would be to know all the benefits and thus take advantage of all their properties. Thank you for your comment!
That's true @nancybriti nature have given so much abundance, different names but same quality....we call basil holy tulsi for its so much advantages
