Yes, smoke basil to improve the digestion and to stop vomiting. It soothes feeling of anxiety and also reduces stress. Basil is full of flavanoids which protects cells and chromosome from damage.
Improves breathing function and decreases the frequency of asthma attack. It minimizes the chances of heart attack. It provides iron, calcium, potassium and Vitamin C. Useful in treatment of thyroid and lever problems. It makes the body warm, so effective in providing relief from cold.
But long time smoking of basil can affect your respiratory system ordinarily. Do not smoke or take basil in any form during pregnancy.

and it has these anti stress effects even if you smoke it?

Hi Everyone,
Basil is considered as king of herbs, it is one of the oldest and popular herbal plant with unique flavor, fragrance, anti-oxidant and health promoting phyto-nutrients. But I strongly feel smoking basil is injurious to health in fact smoking in any form is injurious. To support this I have some logical reasons hope it makes sense:

Firstly, Smoke is formed due to incomplete combustion and CO (carbon monoxide) one of the main byproduct of incomplete combustion which can itself cause many respiratory and circulatory complications. There can be many more such gases.

Second, Inhalation of smoke can cause irritation of upper respiratory tract causing discomfort.

Third, there is high possibility that basil may loose its antioxidants and other nutrients properties at higher temperature.
