Gut-Brain-axis: effect of basil oil on the gut microbiota and its contribution to the anticonvulsant properties.

This study investigates the role of gut microbiota in the anticonvulsant effect of basil oil. Understanding this relationship could lead to improved treatment options for epilepsy patients who do not respond to current medications. Basil oil has shown promising results in blocking seizures in previous studies.
