Benefits of Basil!!

in #health5 years ago

The basil is a medicinal and aromatic plant that has stood out for hundreds of years for its multiple culinary and medicinal applications.

It belongs to the family Labiaceae and is characterized by its oval leaves and flowers in bouquet of white or pink that can be seen during the summer.

Healing properties are attributed to it, given that it has anti-spasmodic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Protects the kidneys

The diuretic action of this tea is ideal to support kidney function, especially when there is accumulation of fluids and toxins in your tissues.

Its anti-inflammatory substances and powerful antioxidants help:

Optimize the work of the kidney, avoiding the development of infections or problems of failure.
Decrease the risk of suffering from chronic diseases and stones.
To make matters worse, increases the production of urine, facilitating the elimination of bacteria that grow in the urinary tract.

Fight stress

The natural extracts obtained with basil tea act as an anti-stress agent.

Its consumption in small quantities helps to stop the excessive production of cortisol, the stress hormone, and, instead, increases the segregation of endorphins.

In addition, thanks to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress, it is a great support to achieve optimal performance.

Prevents mouth infections

Contains antimicrobial compounds that create a protective barrier against germs that cause infections and diseases in the mouth.

They thoroughly clean the oral cavity and facilitate the elimination of food residues that help bacteria proliferate.

Even, it is a home remedy against problems such as bad breath and gingivitis, since it neutralizes halitosis and deflates.
