the "Good Herb" Basil is related to Mint. It grows wild all over the
world in the summer months, in green houses in winter months. Basil is

found its way into nearly every cuisine in the world. Some other forms
of basil are Lemon B', Opal or Purple B', and Cinnamon B". Basil has the

anise and can be quite
pungent. The scent, they say, is conducive to meditation, and the plant
is often used in magic ceremonies. Also a popular culinary herb. In
China this herb is known as Luole. Haitian merchants often sprinkle
their stores with a composition made of this fragrant herb soaked in
