Here's a link, just dry seperate leaves, or cut back to encouage branching. Probably nearing the end of it's growing season now though.
Makes awesome cough syrup. Use with Horehound and Elderberries if available. Strong tea clears up bronchititis (sp?)
Do a search on google, you'll find tons of info.

Here is a link that might be useful: Holy Basil

It's an interesting herb, and worth doing some research. It's often called Sacred Basil, so it might help to know that the botanical name is Ocimum sanctum. In India, it is called Tulasi.

Used internally for feverish conditions (especially in children), colds, flu, sinusitis, headaches, rheumatism, arthritis, abdominal distension and cramps, poor libido, and melancholy. Used externally for skin infections, acne abrasions or insect bits and stings. Seeds are made into tonics and have same uses as Sweet Basil (O. basilicum). May prevent peptic ulcers and other stress related conditions such as high blood pressure, colitis and asthma.

And it's edible, as the following recipe will show:

Prawn and Holy Basil Stirfry
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1-2 chillies (or to taste), finely chopped
1 onion, sliced or chopped
1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced
1-2 cups chopped green prawns
2-3 cups cooked egg noodles
handful holy basil leaves (sweet basil may be used)
1 cup shopped spring onions
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
juice of 1 lime
chopped roasted peanuts to garnish

Heat a little oil in a frypan until smoking. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chilli and onion. Add mushrooms, stir for 1-2 minutes until half cooked. Stir in the prawns, cook until they turn slightly pink. Stir in the noodles until heated through, then add the basil, spring onion, sugar, fish sauce, sesame oil and lime juice. Stir until basil leaves have wilted. Serve sprinkled with peanuts.

oh.... YUM! Thanks, Daisy.

Thanks for all the info. I had no idea it could do so much!
