Basil essential oil has a soothing, antimicrobial and anti-seizure effect, as well as a pronounced bactericidal effect against a large number of pathogenic microorganisms (staphylococci, coli, typhoid bacteria, etc.). Iron and potassium content in the medicinal plant have a good effect on the cardiovascular system. In combination with vitamin A, they protect blood vessels, facilitate the work of the heart and reduce bad cholesterol in the blood. The vitamins, flavonoids and trace elements in basil determine its antibacterial, antispasmodic and pain-relieving effect. 

Healing action and application: Due to its anti-inflammatory action, basil is used in infectious and chronic conditions of the urinary system and respiratory tract. The antispasmodic action of basil explains its analgesic effect in gallstone disease and spastic colitis. The tea, the extract and the essential oil of basil have a strong antitussive effect on bronchitis.
