About this herb
Holy basil — tulsi (Ocimum sanctum, also listed as Ocimum tenuiflorum) — is one of the most revered plants in Ayurvedic medicine, grown around homes and temples in India for centuries. Ayurvedic practitioners traditionally used it as an “adaptogen” for everyday stress and stamina, and for coughs, colds, fevers, and digestion. A review of the human research calls tulsi Ayurveda’s preeminent herb, studied for its traditional roles in metabolic health, immunity, and mental stress.
Suggested use
Shake well. Adults: take 1–2 droppersful (about 1–2 mL) in a little water or under the tongue, up to 3 times a day. Start at the lower amount and see how you do.
