Its leaves, chopped fresh or dried, can be infused to make a sort of basil tea. It's good for everything (well, except for death) that ails a person, and for the sick in need, there's absolutely no over-doing it. In cooking, it kind of acts like a multi-spice, so make sure to taste and smell it before adding it to anything, and test its taste with other things. Holy basil has (let's see if I can remember) licorice/anise notes, citrus/lemony notes, minty notes, and clove-like notes -- and the citrus, clove, and mint notes are about equal. If you wanna find out more about holy basil, there's a site for a company called Organic India (I think that's the name) that has around 9 pages of very interesting information on it. The Indians call Holy Basil "Tulsi" or "Tulasi," by the way! Hope this helped. Spread basil seeds wherever you go for a better world! Holy basil makes a therapeutic addition to the garden!
