Basil is a widely recognized herb with historical significance in traditional medicine for centuries. Scientific research suggests basil as an anti-cancer agent. Basil's efficacy in preventing and treating cancer in humans has been proven. Basil has anti-cancerous properties due to compounds like eugenol, linalool, methyl eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, luteolin, carnosic acid and beta-sitosterol. These compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative qualities. These compounds can protect cells hinder cancer growth and promote cancer cell death. Basil is generally safe and well tolerated. This substance is considered safe with few adverse effects. Further investigation is necessary to determine if basil is effective in preventing or treating cancer in humans.
