healing powers of Basil and Cilantro (sex drive and sanity!)

Kalynx

I read a very interesting sidebar in my new book I'm reading Nourishing Traditions - about basil and cilantro, a bit of the history, and so on. Sanity, sex drive, depression, dementia, cancer, diarrhea - just to list a few basic ones caught my eye.

I quickly just looked up now a few internet pages about each herbs - it is amazing the healing/medicinal uses of these two basic herbs through thousands of years of history and what we are missing out on by not really taking advantage of them today!!

Here are a few good links I found quickly - there might be more out there but here are two good ones I found.

heh forgot to add the links! Good thing I bought some fresh herbs last night and have window garden to plant today!!!
