I love the smell of basil. I have a plant and relish the aroma left on my hands when I pinch leaves off for cooking or adding to salads.

I also drink tulsi teas regularly, Holy basil from Ayurveda. It is for stress and immune enhancing as per Ayurveda.

I agree - the culinary herb is essential in my kitchen and Tulsi is a fascinating medicinal. It is odd that the English herbalists thought that the smell of basil would cause scorpions to grow in your brain!
