Herbalists also recommend it for stomach cramps, vomiting, constipation, headaches, and anxiety. Basil is usually made into a tea for medicinal purposes. Please see How to Make Herbal Teas on this site for instructions on how to prepare Basil Tea. Try a cup of tea after dinner to aid the digestive process. There is also some evidence that Basil has somewhat of a sedative effect, so drink some tea after particularly stressful days for relaxation purposes. Basil leaves can also be dried and ground into a powder for use in herbal capsules, which is more convenient when working or otherwise spending time away from home. Please see How to Make Herbal Capsules for more information. Message Board Gardens Ablaze Home
