Description
In Hindustan, the juice of Basil leaves is poured into the ear to cure otitis. The seeds are regarded as refreshing and sedative. An infusion is used to treat for gonorrhea, burning urine and nephretic affections. This sedative action sharply contrasts with all that is known of the stimulant properties of basil. Almost all the plants of the same family are used in Java as a stimulant. One traveller in Persia reports that Basil seeds are macerated in water then chilled and this maceratum alleviates the excessive heat of summer. In Egypt they are used as a spice.
Dioscorides regarded Basil as a diuretic, but he claimed, without due reason, that it weakened the sight. Frederick Hoffman considered the essential oil of Basil a cephalic and antispasmodic; Gilbert advised its use in atonic neurosis; Bodard suggested it in place of camphor.
According to Molina, there is a remarkably strong Basil to be found in Chile. Because of the droplets of salt water to be found every morning at the tip of each leaf, it is called O. salturn even though the plant is not growin gin a salty soil. This water is used as common salt. One British scientist mentions O. piosum, which, according to Dr. Fleming, was used by Indian women to alleviate the pain of childbirth; and O. sanctum, the juice of which is used in that same country for catarrhal affections.
Basil is quite simply a very aromatic plant which has the stimulating properties of mint and other very aromatic plants.
