Ka-prow (Holy Basil) It dispels gas, and helps relieve stomach pain and colic. It lessens nausea and vomiting beside inducing sweating. Holy Basil contains vitamin A, vitamin C, niacin, phosphorus, iron, calcium and beta-carotene. Holy Basil leaves are often used in curries and many stir-fried dishes.

Ho-ra-pha (Sweet Basil) It helps with digestion and relieves abdominal pain, colic and indigestion. It contains vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C, calcium, iron, fibre, phosphorus and beta-carotene. Sweet Basil leaves are commonly added in both red and green coconut curries as well as some stir-fried dishes.
