Holy basil, or Tulsi, is a super herb plant that has been used for centuries by herbalists and Ayurvedic medicine as an “adaptogen”. It carries flavonoids and phenolics, both known for antifungal properties and its PTSD relief. The essential oils in the leaves of Tulsi are a particularly rich source of valuable phytochemicals.
