Holy Basil

Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Tulsi, is a revered adaptogenic herb in Ayurveda, valued for its ability to help the body adapt to stress and promote mental and physical balance. Its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties support immune function, respiratory health, and healthy metabolism. Holy Basil may help reduce cortisol levels, promote emotional well-being, and support clear breathing during seasonal changes. It also aids in regulating blood sugar and lipid levels when used alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle. Tulsi is safe for most people when taken in recommended amounts, but those on blood-thinning medications or with low blood sugar should consult a healthcare provider before use. Consistent supplementation with Holy Basil, combined with mindful living practices, can contribute to resilience against stress, improved immune defense, and overall vitality. It can be consumed as capsules, tea, or fresh leaves.
