Fight Skin Infections and Acne

The antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic (painkilling) activities of holy basil have been discovered. It's an excellent natural treatment for wounds as well as a home cure for acne and other skin irritations since it may help destroy bacteria that can lead to breakouts and skin infections. It is thought to both prevent and cure skin infections on the interior and exterior levels.

Eugenol, a potent antibacterial molecule found in clove oil and the main active component of holy basil oil, is thought to help treat a variety of skin conditions. Gamma-caryophyllene and methyl eugenol are two other medicinal substances found in holy basil. Holy basil herbal treatments soak into the skin much better and maybe even more effective against acne when used with coconut oil as a carrier, according to research in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science.
