Cravings

Well parsley is good for you I heard that it can even make your hair grow a bit.But anyway i think those are ok things to crave.I mean you wont get fat from then so from what i can see eat away. :D

You really have a good craving my friend. Keep it up..

hi, if you craving something unusual like that, my first thought would be Pregnancy. if you are not, it might be just something u love to do or change... I do that only two thing, Pregnancy or nearly having my period. :)

Nah, unless you're a dog, since they eat grass before its supposed to rain. I'm kidding, I'm not sure what it means, maybe you just need some weeds to get you through the day. As long as you don't tackle some old lady at the market who has just purchased the last basil plant I think you'll be alright.

I have never had cravings for basil and parsley before but I do like basil and parsley in my pizza and foods :) especially Italian foods! I try to eat healthy too.

That doesn't seem to be something too terrible to crave. When I first read it I thought you were going to say something unhealthy like pizza because that's what I crave (that and fast food or something sweet like ice cream). I like basil a lot but never ate it just by itself. We would steal basil from a plant that my sister's neighbor kept. We would put it in pasta; yum! At least you won't gain a whole bunch of weight from your cravings. You might just get a weird look or two. lol

Hi all, what I have learned from similar experiences is that your body is telling you in its own way about some deficiency. It could be the onset of some disease or ailement or just simply a nutrient missing from your diet. The human body is a miraculous self healing machine and some are fortunate enough to be so in tune that they get the messages being sent out. I dont think there is any danger in eating these raw herbs etc. But it could'nt hurt to get a medical check up if these strange cravings persist.

Hi, I am experiencing exactly the same thing!! I can not get enough basil - fresh and raw. I break it over my food, in my salads etc. I agree with the gentleman with regards to the fact that our bodies are trying to tell us something and magnesium makes 100% sense. Funny though - I do not like basil pesto. Perhaps because I do not have a proper recipy to make it myself. It tends to be overpowering. I include tomato pesto in my pasta sauces and eat fresh basil over it. YUMMY!!!
