The name of the genus and the species originates from the Ancient Greek words‘ὤκιμον’ (ṓkimon)for basil and ‘βασιλικός’ (basilikós) meaning “royal”. Some believe that basil has been named after the terrifying ‘basilisk’, a half-lizard, half-dragon creature with a fatal stare. Basil grows profusely throughout Greecebut it is thought to originate from the tropical regions of Asia or Central Africa.  Ancient Greeks thought that basil had magical properties. Famous Greek physician Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BC) recommended herbal remedies with basil for heart problems and digestive disorders (such vomiting and constipation) and wound healing. Apparently,Greeks and Romans are said to have believed that the most potent basil would only grow from the seeds sown while ranting and swearing.
