Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 30-year-old female. I had recently heard that basil seed drink is nutritious and is good for health. Is it true? Can I add it to my everyday diet? Will it help with constipation issues?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for stopping by!

I am here to provide expert opinion on your medical issues.

Basil seed is rich in magnesium, and iron, as well as antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It helps with digestion and improves health. You can consume these seeds daily to strengthen bones, muscles, and skin and to stimulate the production of enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals for better functioning of the body. The antispasmodic properties of basil seeds can cure dry cough and relax the strained muscles. Basil seeds can naturally detoxify, the body and ease out bowel movements. These basil seeds work as a natural laxative. Introducing gradually will help since it is rich in fiber, it may cause bloating or diarrhea. Kindly make sure to have more fluid intake while having it.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
