Hailing from India 4000 years ago, in Greek vasiliko fyto, means royal plant. Some sources suggest it meant royal “medicinal” plant because it was used for various healing benefits. Others say it was used for royal perfumes. Outside Greek homes, there is often a planter of basil kept moist with regular sprayings to scent the comings and goings of family and friends. Either way, basil’s singular aroma also has a long history in ancient traditional medicines like Ayurveda and Chinese Medicines and today is one of the most popular culinary herbs used in Mediterranean, Asian and Indian cuisine.
