Although basil leaves are good for health, there are still some side effects that you need to be aware of.

Basil is good for metabolism and energy

Mr. Sharath Arora, founder and yoga teacher at the Himalayan Lyengar Yoga Center, Dharamkot, Himachal Pradesh (India) - said that basil leaves are very popular because they are used as a spice for meals or used in folk remedies, especially in the treatment of coughs and expectorants.

Basil seeds can help relieve constipation, while its leaves can treat colds, fevers, and reduce fever when boiled in water. In addition, this plant also has antiseptic and antifungal properties.

In particular, consuming basil leaves on an empty stomach can boost your metabolism in a gentle yet effective manner.

The digestive-boosting and detoxifying properties of basil leaves can optimize nutrient absorption and energy production, resulting in increased vitality throughout the day.

“The calming effect of basil on the nervous system may also contribute to maintaining energy levels and reducing fatigue,” says Sharath Arora.

Side effects

Mr. Arora notes that while basil has many benefits, consuming too much can lead to side effects such as blood thinning and hypoglycemia and can lead to indigestion.

In addition, eugenol is the main ingredient in basil. Eating too much basil leaves can lead to eugenol overdose, causing poisoning to the body. Too much eugenol can cause coughing, shortness of breath and blood in the urine.

Basil is quite safe for pregnant women because its nutritional content includes vitamins, which can contribute to overall health. However, it should be used in moderation to avoid potential risks.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication (especially blood thinners or diabetes medications) or have any underlying health conditions, consult your doctor before adding basil to your daily routine.
