Abstract
The plant world is a significant source of remedies for various illnesses, with 80% of developing nations using herbal medicine. Research is focused on the discovery of safer and more effective medicinal drugs, particularly in the screening of herbs for pharmacological activity and phytochemical ingredients. Ocimum basilicum, a common plant known for its beauty and medicinal properties, is a key focus. Its leaves are used as expectorants, demulcents, emmenagogues, and exhilarants, and its leaves are often aromatic, fragrant, and antibacterial. Basil seeds are also used as a plant seedling growth agent and an edible film that decomposes naturally. This study on basil seeds' chemical composition, nutritional value, and medicinal properties will help identify research gaps and provide an overview for future opportunities.
