Basil is a common herb that is used in meals and medical remedies. If you have a cough or cold, you can pop a couple of the dark green leaves in your mouth to help calm the coughing, or you can make a tea of dried basil leaves.
also if you are working outside and happen to get stung by an insect, if you chew a couple of the basil leaves and apply on the sting, it will help relive the pain and draw out the venom too.
