The use of basil is almost as old as human history. Basil, which has been cultivated by various cultures and peoples for centuries, has even made it into the notes of Hippocrates. For the Romans, basil, the symbol of love, was also valuable from a spiritual perspective, as it represented abundance, loyalty and affection. Lovers believed that if they gave each other a sprig of basil, they would win the heart of their beloved forever. Basil, which was also planted abundantly in the gardens of temples to protect against bad luck and to ward off evil, became widespread over the years, being planted in almost all gardens.
