Basil is a fairly common plant in Vietnam. Basil also has a number of names such as: Cinnamon, dog basil, é vegetable, Thai basil... Basil stems contain a lot of essential oils so they are often used as spices.
The ingredients in basil can help prevent constipation, treat colds, coughs and expectorants, act as antioxidants and prevent cancer, help reduce headaches, and strengthen the immune system...
In addition, basil also has the effect of supporting feng shui. Accordingly, this spice vegetable means prosperity, bringing luck to the homeowner, so many people often plant it around the house.
Basil is both a spice and has feng shui effects, helping to improve beauty.
More specifically, basil can also help beautify the skin or boil water to wash hair. If you want to improve your beauty with basil, we can use ground basil leaves to make a mask.
Specifically, grind basil leaves, add 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder, mix well, apply the mixture on the skin for about 20 minutes and then rinse with cold water to help us have naturally bright pink skin.
Basil has many uses in improving beauty.
If you don’t want to use a basil mask, you can absolutely use the essential oil in this spice to steam your face. Basil contains a large amount of essential oil that can eliminate toxins by dilating pores.
We just need to prepare a pot of hot water, add a few basil leaves and a few lemongrass stalks and then steam our face. This method helps to eliminate toxins on the face, making the skin smoother and healthier.
