The name “basil” comes from the archaic Greek word basilikohn, which means “royal”: a designation that indicates the high esteem in which this culinary and medicinal herb was held.

Health benefits:

• Basil is very rich in certain flavonoid antioxidants, which block the same pro-inflammatory COX enzymes stymied by anti-inflammatory agents like aspirin and ibuprofen.
• Basil also reduces activation of Nf-kappaB: a pro-inflammatory “nuclear transcription factor” linked to inflammatory diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, allergy, asthma, arthritis, Crohn's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
