About Holy Basil (Tulsi)

Holy Basil, known as Tulsi in India, is considered the “Queen of Herbs” in Ayurvedic medicine and holds sacred status in Hindu tradition.

This aromatic herb has been used for over 3,000 years for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body adapt to stress while supporting emotional balance and immune function.

Tulsi contains unique compounds like eugenol, ursolic acid, and rosmarinic acid that contribute to its therapeutic effects.

Modern research confirms tulsi's ability to reduce stress, support respiratory health, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being.
