HOLY BASIL / TULSI
Overview Information
Holy basil is a plant. It is originally from India but now grows in Australia, West Africa, and some Middle Eastern countries. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine as an “adaptogen” to counter life’s stresses. It is considered a sacred plant by the Hindus and is often planted around Hindu shrines. The Hindu name for holy basil, Tulsi, means "the incomparable one." Medicine is made from the leaves, stems, and seeds.Holy basil is commonly used to help with anxiety and stress. But there is limited scientific research to support these and other uses. In cooking, holy basil is often added to stir-fry dishes and spicy soups because of its peppery taste. Cookbooks sometimes call it "hot basil."

Early research suggests that the oil can slow progression and improve survival rate in animals with certain types of cancer.
