Basil is a great medicinal herb that can be used to treat  colds and fevers.
With health care costs high and the risks of modern-day medicine becoming more known, people are starting to look at herbal medicine as a viable alternative in treating common illnesses. Of course, herbal medicine has been around since the dawn of mankind, but only in the past few decades has Western medicine begun to integrate ancient herbal medicine in practice. Herbs can be used to treat illnesses such as colds, fevers, stomach pains, and inflammation. Some herbs have even been implicated in certain cancers. Growing medicinal herbs in your garden is a great way to promote a healthier lifestyle and a closer relationship to the environment.
