I am hoping they do not have much vitamin B6 as I convince my brother tonight to buy them and then I realized that might be a mistake as he suffers from vitamin B6 toxicity.... I can't find any info on whether or not they have B6
I have been using basil seeds nearly more than 30 years ...... i am from Bangalore. My weight is under control . Am 40 now and my weight is 70 kg 5.8 height . It helps in Digestion and bloating of stomach gastroenteritis and other benefits. I soak 2 table spoons of basil seeeds in luke warm water in the night in a regularsized sized glass. It has to be soaked. In the morning empty stomach drink it up as soon as you get up along with the water. For starters it really helps and continue it .
I was introduced to Thai basil seeds on my last trip to Thailand where they're quite popular and well-known for their health benefits. I would see them made into sweet jelly-like desserts in the night markets. I'm saving a couple tablespoons for springtime and hope to grow them.
Thanks for the info. I want to try this. I have some health issues I think it would help. And I really don't eat meat. Thanks for an awesome video. I will share this with friends.
All Indian Grocers carry them unless they are owned by Muslims who usually don't use any of the ayurvedic products . Soak the seeds and warm water till they get fat and gelatinous and then put them in either fresh water and or juice to make a drink that cools you down in the summer and it really does work let me tell you that is a fact as I live in Dallas Texas . We have been having a heatwave and I have my central air set at 76 but I might raise it to 77 ! Why because I still feel a little bit chilly . You can also buy these in the ready-made drinks at almost any Indian Grocers they look weird but they do cool you down and that's why I try to warn people not to be drinking them in the winter if they are going to be going outside for more than just getting to or from a vehicle . They have other health benefits they're supposed to be good for the skin and I do get compliments . There is also Tulsi powder which is from the same plant ; they both are from the holy basil and you can make a hot tea out of the powder and then when it cools down you can drink it for many of the same health benefits
Lauren you and everybody else should also look at this video about how TULSI ( from the same plant , the HOLY BASIL plant ) is a NOOTROPIC meaning it is BRAIN FOOD and it is also an ADAPTOGEN meaning it helps the body and the mind to deal with STRESS and ANXIETY . . And it really does help GET RID of FEAR and to SLEEP better at night . Please go to the NOOTROPICS EXPERT Channel for what he has to say about HOLY BASIL ( or TULSI ) . That is a great Channel and he does a huge amount of research for his videos . If he speaks too slowly you can always speed it up on the playback speed
It's not just any kind of Basil make sure you know the exact type it's holy basil not sweet basil and not any other type of Basil as there are over 200 types of basil and this is also called Tukmarie seeds or sabja seeds . They must soak for at least 2 hours before you use them don't listen to this idiot who made this video giving wrong information because if you have any stomach sensitivity or problems with your intestines and you only let them soak for 15 minutes you could end up with unbearable pain for days
There are 200 different kinds of basil and you want to make sure you're using the right kind so we are talking about the holy basil and those seeds are also called sabja
And those seeds definitely need to be soaked and you should put them in warm water and let them sit for a while till they get big and fat and look gelatinous and you can even use them to make puddings
Basil seeds are considered safe for consumption for most people, including children over 4 years old. In fact, in some cultures, basil seeds are a traditional food that is given to children to help cool their body during hot weather. However, it's important to note that children under the age of 4 may be at a higher risk of choking on basil seeds or any other small, hard objects. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid giving them to young children or to soak them in water until they form a gel-like substance before consuming. If you are unsure whether basil seeds are appropriate for your child, it's always a good idea to consult with your child's pediatrician or a registered dietitian before adding them to your child's diet.
Doing them regularly can give you nice skin just by eating or drinking them after you have let them sit in water for about 40 minutes or longer until they get nice and fat and look gelatinous but I guess you could try to put them on your face Maybe smash them up after they get fat and look like a Jello and put them on your face and see what happens
There is no specific time of day that is considered the "best" time to take basil seeds for weight loss. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow to maximize the benefits of basil seeds for weight loss: Drink basil seed water before meals: Drinking basil seed water before meals can help to promote feelings of fullness and reduce hunger, which may lead to lower calorie intake and weight loss. To make basil seed water, soak 1-2 tablespoons of basil seeds in a glass of water for 15-20 minutes until they swell up and form a gel-like consistency. Drink the water before meals to help control your appetite. Use basil seeds as a substitute for high-calorie ingredients: Basil seeds can be used as a substitute for other high-calorie ingredients such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or eggs in recipes. This can help to reduce the calorie content of meals and promote weight loss. Incorporate basil seeds into a balanced, healthy diet: While basil seeds may have some weight loss benefits, they should not be relied upon as the sole method of weight loss. It is important to eat a balanced, healthy diet that is rich in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Overall, the timing of when you consume basil seeds is less important than how you incorporate them into your overall diet and lifestyle. Be sure to speak with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.
Taking too much of basil seeds can cause stomach issues. Like it'll upset you're stomach. Use it once a day for best results. Using it once is more than enough because the amount of good qualities it has is way more than anything. Hope this helped :)
@@vasanthigracy5255 I used to make the drink but not recently . But this past week I started making a tea out of tulsi powder and so have you ever heard of anybody doing both on the same day ? Do you know if that's okay since they are both from the same plant ?
They don't need to sit overnight an hour or two should be enough ... some even say as little as 30 minutes . When I have a minute drink I just drink them but some people eat them like a pudding or they put them in puddings .
Well make sure that you certainly soak them in water first till they get fat and gelatinous and you need to know that it will cool the body temperature down when you drink holy basil seeds and so you need to think about that
Are you in India your name kind of looks Indian although I could be wrong but they sell it in most Indian Grocers but not usually the ones that are owned by Muslims since they don't believe in ayurvedic healing . You might want to also look into Tulsi which is the same plant and they make a tea of it which is very good for you and it is actually a nootropic meaning it is brain food but it is also an adaptogen meaning it helps the brain and body and mind deal with stress and anxiety and it also gets rid of fear . And it helps you sleep better at night . The best video about this is the NOOTROPICS EXPERT Channel because he does a lot of research . Look for his video on HOLY BASIL ( TULSI ) .
