Importance of basil leaves in eclipse
Be it solar eclipse or lunar eclipse, use of basil leaves provides great protection during pregnancy and otherwise. At the time of eclipse, if basil leaves are already added to the food items, then the food does not get contaminated. They are not affected by the harmful rays of the eclipse. Also, if a pregnant woman applies a paste of basil leaves on her stomach, it also protects the baby in the womb from the harmful rays of the eclipse.
Actually, going out during the eclipse is strictly prohibited and you should not do so. But if under any compulsion you have to go out during the eclipse or any member of the family goes out, then they should take some basil leaves with them. By doing this the harmful rays of the eclipse are not affected. Keep a basil leaf in your mouth also, but remember that you should not chew the basil leaf.
