What Are Basil Seeds?

Basil Seeds, known as Tukham-e-Rehan in Urdu, are the black seeds of the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum). They are widely used in Ayurvedic and Unani traditions as a natural coolant, digestive aid, and energy booster.

When soaked in water, these seeds form a soft gel-like coating that soothes the stomach and helps maintain hydration, especially in hot climates. Their mild flavor makes them ideal for beverages, smoothies, and desserts like falooda and sherbet.
