Holy basil has been used in India as a medicinal tonic and daily tea for thousands of years. It has been used to treat fevers, colds and flu, and to stimulate and strengthen the immune system. Taken internally in proper dilution, it relieves hiccups, digestive upsets, stomach pain and spasm. It can be used topically to eliminate the symptoms of shingles and other herpes conditions, and to relieve dry skin and itching.
Holy basil enhances the memory, increases mental clarity and sharpens the senses. Applied to the spine as a spinal compress, it can facilitate spontaneous adjustment of vertebrae that are not aligned. It has many healing properties and is a superior oil for spinal application.
