Product Description

Holy basil, also referred to as "Tulsi" or "Queen of Herbs," originates from South East Asia. It is traditionally used in various cuisines and herbal remedies, particularly in India where it's also part of religious practices. Scientific studies suggest that the plant contains various vitamins, such as A and C, as well as minerals like calcium, zinc, and iron. Additionally, researchers have identified several active components in Tulsi, including Oleanolic acid, Ursolic acid, Rosmarinic acid, Eugenol, Carvacrol, Linalool, and β-caryophyllene. Within the framework of Ayurveda, Tulsi is used in an array of treatments due to its attributed therapeutic properties. However, the efficacy and safety of such uses should always be validated by scientific studies.
