Carnosic acid is antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties and is found in both of the herbs. A team from the Scripps Research Institute in California discovered a way of harnessing the acid and using it to significantly lower inflammation in the brains of mice - a key trigger for Alzheimer's. The drug the team created using carnosic acid, diAcCA, not only extinguished the inflammation but also restored the healthy number of nerve cell connections in the brain that promote learning and memory. Poster Comment: Basil, a popular herb in the mint family, offers a variety of health benefits. It is rich in antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and beta- cryptoxanthin, which help fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of conditions like cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Basil also contains essential oils like eugenol, linalool, and citronellol, which exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. These can help manage inflammation related to cancer and other chronic diseases. Additionally, basil has antibacterial properties that may help fight bacteria in respiratory, urinary, abdominal, or skin infections. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
