Holy Basil Indian – Tulsi
Ocimum sanctum, Holy basil
Indian Basil (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Holy Basil or Tulsi in Ayurveda, is a perennial aromatic plant and is revered as the elixir of life for both its medicinal and spiritual properties. It is considered sacred among some Hindu peoples, as it represents Tulasi - the wife of the god Vishnu.
In Ayurveda, Holy Basil is known as the “Mother of Nature” and the “Queen of Herbs”. And for good reason!
This is the only herb that can be used for multiple purposes - from hand sanitizer to mouthwash to an elixir that you should always have at home.
Tulsi contains a rich profile of nutrients that work to heal and restore the human body
The Tulsi plant contains numerous active compounds, the main ones being linalool, eugenol, methylchavicol, methylcinnamate, linolenic, ocimene, pinene, cineole, anethole, estragole, thymol, citral and camphor. These also determine the wealth of pharmacological effects that the herb has: antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, antidiabetic, antipyretic, diuretic, hepatoprotective, chemoprotective, hypolipidemic, cardioprotective, antioxidant, antitussive, radioprotective, memory enhancing, antiarthritic, antihypertensive, anticoagulant and anti-cataract effects.
What are the health benefits of Holy Basil?
Taking Tulsi can help with respiratory problems, sore throats, helps with physical, metabolic and mental stress, protects against radiation, itchy scalp and dandruff, boosts immunity and much more.
All parts of the Holy Basil plant act as an adaptogen. An adaptogen is a natural substance that helps your body adapt to stress and achieve mental balance.
Holy Basil leaves are believed to have antidepressant and anti-anxiety properties comparable to those of antidepressants. Studies have shown that the herb can help people feel more social and less anxious.
Ayurvedic practitioners recommend drinking tea made with Holy Basil leaves. And since it does not contain caffeine, it is good and even recommended to drink it daily. The act of drinking tea can be ritualistic and calming like yoga. It clears the mind, relaxes and gives a sense of well-being.
