Abstract
The genus Ocimum has many species belonging to the Lamiaceae family that are used to treat various diseases and disorders. Ocimum basilicum has been found to contain over 200 chemical components in different plant parts. The bioactive components showed the presence of α-linalool, camphor, limonene, thymol, citral, β-linalool, estragole, etc. O. basilicum exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiulcer, antiviral, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antimicrobial, anticancer, wound-healing activities, etc. They have also been used to treat fevers, digestive issues, stomach cramps, nausea, gastritis, migraine, diarrhea. This review aims to provide information about the chemical compounds and biological activities of O. basilicum var thyrsiflora (Thai basil). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review outlining the innovative ethnomedicinal approach to oral health care that, through its strong phytoconstituents, has the potential to improve modern medicine.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Herbmed Pharmacology (J Herbmed Pharmacol) is the intersection between medicinal plants and pharmacology. This international journal publishes manuscripts in the fields of medicinal plants, pharmacology and therapeutic. This journal aims to reach all relevant national and international medical institutions and persons in electronic version free of charge. J Herbmed Pharmacol has pursued this aim through publishing editorials, original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, letters to the editor, hypothesis, case reports, epidemiology and prevention, news and views. In this journal, particular emphasis is given to research, both experimental and clinical, aimed at protection/prevention of diseases. A further aim of this journal is to emphasize and strengthen the link between herbalists and pharmacologists. In addition, J Herbmed Pharmacol welcomes basic biomedical as well as pharmaceutical scientific research applied to clinical pharmacology. Contributions in any of these formats are invited for editorial consideration following peer review by at least two experts in the field.
