Do you feel like a balloon? Eliminates that sensation through food, since basil reduces intestinal inflammation thanks to its digestive and relaxing properties.

The basil reduces gastric spasms, so it is highly recommended for people suffering from gastritis, hernias or flatulence, according to the portal botanical-online.com.

Based on information from Kellogg's Institute of Nutrition and Health, the basil combines perfectly with dishes that have tomato, pasta or fish, for its aroma and flavor. Do not hesitate and try it in this exquisite recipe.
