Sweet basil is an herb commonly used in cooking. It is valued for its antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, antimicrobial, and potential antiviral and antitumor properties, and it is often taken in teas, tinctures or as a fresh herb to support digestion and immune health. Because it contains vitamin K and compounds that may affect blood clotting, it should be used cautiously by people on blood‑thinning medicines or with bleeding disorders, and allergic or mild gastrointestinal reactions can occur in sensitive individuals.
