Description
Holy Basil – Tulsi – Ocimum sanctum
Ahhhh holy basil. This herb is revered in India, and it is very understandable why! I work with this herb in many of my formulas — as it is incredibly versatile. I actually wrote an entire article on this which you can read here.
In summary, holy basil is an adaptogen, helping to regulate stress (cortisol) levels in the body — which helps to rebalance hormones, immune system, and nervous system. It is known as a “nerve tonic”, helping to restore fried nerves due to long term stress issues. It has a great anti-inflammatory benefit, supports cardiovascular system, known to support balancing of the blood sugar, sooth digestive issues that are stress related, and SO much more. Spiritually, it helps to dispel the demons of the mind.~~~~

Contra-indications:
There is mixed reviews on if this herb is contraindicated in Pregnancy and Lactation — so use at your own peril.
Cautions:
There is theoretical evidence that Tulsi’s eugenol content may deplete glutathione from the liver. Therefore caution should be used in patients using glutathione-depleting medication such as acetaminophen (tylenol/paracetamol).
