Basil greatly helps in easing breathing difficulties, cough, and other prominent symptoms associated with bronchitis and asthma. Its antispasmodic effect relaxes the lungs to bring a welcoming relief. It also mobilizes the stagnant mucus for expulsion and clearing out the airways. This way, the removal of mucus build-up can further reduce the chances of bacterial infection.
