Sorry for being so negative, but what the hell is the point of basil?

It smells like nothing it taste like nothing. It enhances nothing. There’s no point to it.

@Ferise1 Yes. It's yummy with fresh tomato, garlic, mozzarella and a little olive oil. I can't remember the name of the dish, but the basil really makes it phenomenal. My hubby likes it with Italian bread, but I eat it like a salad.

I make basil tincture.

"Basil Tincture is an impressive antioxidative agent that is prepared from the homegrown Basil from the Mayernik Kitchen. Early in the morning when basil is juiciest and at the peak of its chemical content, it is harvested and diligently dried to preserve its signature color, taste, and aroma. Basil is extracted with grain alcohol (50%) for the maintenance of phytochemical equilibrium.

Basil tincture has antioxidant and adaptogenic properties which ultimately makes it anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic. It can also treat coagulation of blood, fever, diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach spasms, flatulence, respiratory tract infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and even nervous system disorders."

@Atlotto do other herbs do that?

@Ferise1 Several...Oregano tincture also helps detox your body of heavy metals.

"Evidence suggests that oregano, in various forms, may contribute to the body's detoxification processes, including aiding in the removal of heavy metals"

Fresh basil? Crush it with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and use to to dress fresh tomatoes. The fragrance is very pronounced. The flavour quite spicy.
