7. Sting and bites
Stings and bites can be easily healed with basil. There is no need to apply creams and lotions that don’t work. When you go outside and happen to get stung by a bee or bitten by a mosquito, just chew a few basil leaves and place them on the affected area. You may have to chew a lot of basil leaves if you’re bitten by a mosquito since a mosquito bite more than one part of the body.
There is no need to go to the emergency room if you’re stung by a bee. A bee sting swells up the affected area, but basil has anti-inflammatory properties, which helps with swelling and redness. A mosquito bite can leave scars, especially if you’re scratching the area. By placing the basil leaf on the area as soon as you notice you’re bitten, it’ll prevent you from scratching and making it worse.
