That is the reason why many of the plants were worshiped in ancient times and considered to be beloved of the gods. Thus, the Laurel was beloved of Apollo, the oak, ash, and thorn were worshiped by the Druids, and in the East, a number of plants were consecrated to a number of gods, because of their beneficial and curative properties.We are going to talk about one particular plant here, which you are going to grow in your home or in your garden. It is the sacred basil. This book is going to concentrate on just this one plant - Oscimum sanctum. No, it is not the basil which we find growing so commonly, in the Mediterranean regions, and which is a necessary flavoring herb for every dish made out there. That is just ordinary basil. Sacred basil is more aromatic, and is mostly used for healing, instead of imparting a flavor to your dish.It is known all over the world as Tulsi (Tool-si.) It is worshiped by the Hindus. I do not know whether the people in other parts of the world consider it to be a sacred plant, but if I was a pagan and was told to worship any plant for its healing quantities, I would be worshiping The Neem and the Tulsi. Every part of these plants come in useful. The seeds are minuscule and their quantity is so prolific that one plant can give you enough of seeds to cover a hectare of land!

But this herb has also been a valuable an integral part of ancient alternative medicine. More than 4000 years ago, one of the greatest of ancient doctors Charaka wrote in his compendium that the juice from the leaves of the sacred basil mixed with honey taken three times a day could cure patients suffering from whooping cough and chest ailments. That was the time when people relied on natural cures, and their own inmate good health to keep healthy and live long. I am proud to present this book to you, about one of the most useful herbs available to mankind today, of which the significant benefits have been written in ancient books of the East. Oscimum sanctum is the scientific name given to the sacred basil. What is the difference between cooking basil and sacred basil? Well, to tell you very frankly, most of the cooks in the East prefer to use the plant, which has purplish colored leaves, in their food, just before serving. They call that the cooking basil. On the other hand, the sacred basil has smaller and greener leaves, more pungent in odor and in taste. One rule passed down from the ancients is that milk and Basil do not mix. So when you are getting rid of a cough and cold, you make up a mixture of one teaspoonful each of honey and dried ginger, eight black peppercorns, and 5 to 10 basil leaves and boil them in water. Drink them down twice a day, and there goes your cold. But if you are boiling these ingredients in milk, leave the basil leaves out. Sacred basil has a religious and mythological significance coming down the ages, both in the East and in the West. The Greek Eastern Orthodox church used basil in traditional rituals and the women of the house used to sprinkle sacred basil on the threshold of their houses on St. Basil's day celebrated on 1 January in order to usher in a new and fruitful prosperous new year.
