History

Throughout history, basil was believed to have magical powers. Basil was first cultivated in the Mediterranean region by Arabs .Women wore basil in their hair to attract potential suitors. Basil was originally used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat skin conditions, indigestion, and coughs

In ancient Egypt, basil was likely used as an embalming and preserving herb as it has been found in tombs and mummies. Perhaps because of its embalming applications.
