Although basil is grown almost everywhere, Egypt is the principal source followed by the USA.

Basil is Greek for 'royal' or 'kingly'. Ancient Greek and Roman doctors believed that basil would grow only if its cultivators sowed the seeds while screaming wild curses and shouting unintelligibly.

The Greeks believed that only the sovereign himself, armed with his golden sickle, should be allowed to cut the basil.

In Italy, basil has always been seen as a token of love.

In Romania, when a boy accepts a sprig of basil from his girl, he is engaged.

In India the basil plant is sacred to both Krishna and Vishnu, and is cherished in every Hindu house. Every good Hindu goes to his rest with a basil leaf on his breast - the passport to paradise!

Basil is normally used to combat;

Basil essential oil is used with great success for headaches and helps to reduce allergies.
