Benefits of basil seeds: Basil seeds are reported to have antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, antispasmodic, and antifungal properties. They help in lowering cholesterol and blood sugar too. One of the most interesting benefits of tukh malanga seeds is their calming and stress-relieving properties.
