RE: Basil and Holy Basil (Ocimum species) herbal monograph

in Natural Medicine6 months ago

Oh wow, the leaves shift to purple in colder weather? That's a new one for these plants! I've never seen the green form with any purple at all! In terms of their medicinal uses, while they do have very similar compounds, the purple form seems stronger, and as such is used medicinally more. When I make my medicinal tea blends, I always use both. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
