What Are the Proven Benefits of Basil?
1) Contains Disease-Fighting Antioxidants
One of the key benefits of basil essential oil is the ability to help fight free radical damage while protecting DNA structure and cells. Basil contains two important water-soluble flavonoid antioxidants, known as orientin and vicenary, which help protect white blood cells responsible for immune function, as well as cellular structures where DNA is stored.
2) Acts as an Anti-Inflammatory
Basil contains powerful essential oils, including eugenol, citronellol, and linalool. These enzyme-inhibiting oils help lower inflammation, which is at the root of most diseases like heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel conditions.
3) Fights Cancer
Clinical studies published in Nutrition and Cancer also show that basil contains phytochemicals, which can help naturally prevent cancer, including chemical-induced skin, liver, oral, and lung cancers. Basil can increase antioxidant activity, positively alter gene expressions, induce cancerous-cell apoptosis (death of harmful cells), and stop cancerous tumors from spreading.
4) Contains Antibacterial Properties
Another one of the benefits of basil essential oils is to protect against harmful bacterial growth. In studies, basil extract is even shown to help inhibit resistant strains of bacteria that donâ??t respond to antibiotic treatments.
5) Contains Antimicrobial Properties that Fight Viruses and Infections
Basil essential oils have been found to exhibit anti-microbial activity against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses. This means you can add protection against the candida virus and various forms of skin irritations to the long list of proven benefits of basil
