Hello my dear reader,

The last time we left with the desire of preparing a good Genoa’s pesto.

The principal ingredient is basil; who of us haven't a little plant to pick perfumed leaves. 

Basil belong to the Lamiaceae family, their leaves have a strong and distinctive flavor, not comparable to the others spices.

More than the ‘’Mediterranean type’’, more popular in west, there are other variety or cultivar with different taste, lot of them hybrid.

India has her own ‘’Sacred Basilio’’ (O. Sanctum = O. Tenuiflorum) with prickly smell; in Thailand there’s the sweet basil with licorice flavor. Variety sold for west’s gardeners are cinnamon basil, camphor basil, anise basil and mexican basil.

The name basil come from greek basileus that mean ‘’king’’ – ‘’People’s leader’’, ‘cause its real flavor.

This little remedy presents 52 repertorial symptoms that interested kidney and bladder with a total of 92 symptoms.

It’s without mental symptoms; those phisical interested especially swelling of mammary’s gland and hypersensitivity of male and female’s genitals.

Your Homeopath could prescribe you basilicum if you have a renal inflammation that cause you pain, like a prick, and associate with other symptoms like nausea, puke, colic, urine with sediment, dense and saffron yellow or red.

Another ingredient of Pesto sauce is garlic that homeopath knows as Allium Sativum, but we’ll talk about that next time.
