Description

Exotic basil is native to India, where it has been cultivated for at least 4000 years. Its name comes from the word “Basilicon”, meaning “royal and aristocratic”.

The plant was introduced to Asia Minor and Egypt before reaching Europe. In Egypt, thirty centuries ago, it was used to perfume temples and was among the plants used in funerary rituals. It reached Greece, probably introduced by Alexander the Great in the IV century BC, and its cultivation spread to imperial Rome.

In ancient Greece, physicians used the plant to prepare medicinal remedies for royalty.

In Antiquity, it was attributed many magical powers, including protection from snakes, monsters and other evil spirits. The plant has also been associated with love and desire.
It has been regarded as a protective plant. In India, where holy basil is revered, it is placed at house entrances and accompanies the dead on their final journey.

The composition of exotic basil can vary considerably, giving rise to different chemotypes. The three main ones are methyl-chavicol, linalool and citriodora.
Their aromas and, consequently, their therapeutic properties also vary.
