Basil Seed Drink benefits
The basil seeds that are used for eating are the seeds from the sweet basil plant, Ocimum basilicum. They are also called Thai basil seeds, falooda, sabja, subza, selasih or tukmaria.
This is different from the holy basil plant, Ocimum tenuiflorum, which is also called tulsi. The leaves and oil of holy basil are used in Ayurvedic medicine for many purposes, but typically not the seeds.
Sweet basil seeds are a similar size as chia seeds. The difference is basil seeds are completely black and tear-shaped, whereas chia seeds are typically mottled shades of grey with brown and have a more rounded shape.
Like chia, basil seeds become gelatinous when soaked in water. They are used in drinks in many Asian countries for thickening as well as for health.
POTENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF BASIL SEEDS
Basil seeds are reported to have antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, antispasmodic and antifungal properties. Very little scientific research has been done on basil seeds to date. This may be because there is not a large market for the seeds yet.
Respiratory Aid
Traditionally, basil seeds are used to treat colds, flu, coughs and asthma.
It’s suggested that the fiber in the soaked seeds has the effect of making you feel more full. This could help reduce your appetite and assist with weight loss.
Blood Sugar Regulation
According to the Sutter Gould Medical Foundation, basil seeds may help control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.
Lowering Cholesterol Levels
A study in Thailand described how sweet basil seeds could be used to reduce cholesterol levels in patients.
Anti-inflammatory
Noni juice has shown similar results to the newer over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
