What is the difference between basil and oregano?
Both of these herbs belong to the Lamiaceae family. They share similar flavors, but the differences are obvious.
Oregano is more pungent than basil. It also adds an extra layer of flavor to foods.
Basil leaves are smaller than oregano leaves. They are also softer and less aromatic.
The two herbs are often used interchangeably. Although they are quite similar, each has its distinctive qualities.
What are the disadvantages of using herbs?
Herbs are a great way to keep your body healthy because they contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, phytonutrients, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenes, essential oils, carotenoids, sterols, and sterolins. Some even contain cannabinoids.
But there are also lots of side effects associated with herbal remedies. For example, taking too much herb could cause liver damage or even death. Herbal supplements may interact with prescription drugs, which means that they might affect how well the drug works.
Some herbs can interfere with blood clotting, while others may increase bleeding when taken with anticoagulants (blood thinners).
There are also safety concerns for pregnant women and children.
The bottom line is that herbs aren't safe for everyone. If you're considering trying them out, do your homework. Look up each product's side effects and warnings and read reviews online.

How To
How do I know if my herbs have been treated with pesticides?
If you see a pesticide label on your herbs, the plants were sprayed with chemicals before being sold to you.
These chemicals harm human health and could cause cancer or other serious illnesses.
Unfortunately, this practice has become common around the globe. Many countries allow farmers to spray their crops with pesticides without proper regulation.
In order not to harm themselves, consumers should always ask about the source of their produce. If it comes from a farmer near you, it’s safe to assume it was not treated with pesticides.
However, there are still ways to ensure that your herbs are free from harmful chemicals.
However, if you want to ensure that your herbs aren’t contaminated, you can purchase organic herbs directly from the farm.
This way, you won’t need to worry about the safety of your herbs. You can trust that they weren’t exposed to harmful chemicals.
