This is my first time to hear about basil plant,my mil used to say it's healthy,you should drink too.She mixed on her tea,with cinnamon and ginger.Now i was standing near garage and saw basil plants keep growing due to rain,so i made a research of it and found out that;
All parts of the holy basil plant act as an adaptogen. An adaptogen is natural substance that helps your body adapt to stress and promotes mental balance. The concept of an adaptogen is a holistic approach. But scientific research shows that holy basil has pharmacological properties to help your mind cope with many types of stress.
Do you used Basil leaves in your kitchen?
Aside from mixing tea,how do you use it?

In India people they consume at least a leaf a day daily! In the temples the basil leaves are added to the drink made up of coconut water and other ingradients which is offered to the the Gods and subsequently to the devotees! This is known as 'Theerth' and is consumed in very small quantities taken in the palm!

When we eat out especially in Italian restaurants we'd see basil on top of our pizza or our pasta. I want to have basil plants in my garden coz I heard they're considered lucky plants.
