About this herb
Holy Basil/Tusli leaf
Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), commonly known as Tulsi in India and Scent Leaf in Africa, is a deeply revered herb in Ayurveda, India's ancient system of holistic healing. Often called "The Queen of Herbs," Tulsi is traditionally regarded as an adaptogen—meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and restore balance.
In Ayurvedic practice, Tulsi is considered sacred, frequently cultivated in homes and temples across India, symbolizing purity, spiritual protection, and longevity. With its beautifully aromatic violet blossoms and green-to-purple-tinged leaves, Tulsi has a calming fragrance known to uplift and soothe the spirit.
Ayurveda describes Tulsi as a "rasayana," a rejuvenating herb that promotes mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical well-being. Traditionally, Tulsi tea is consumed daily to enhance vitality, support the respiratory system, and maintain a balanced immune response.
Our dried Holy Basil makes a delightful herbal tea, blends beautifully with other herbs, and is a wonderful addition to wellness rituals.
How to Use Holy Basil (Tulsi):
Tea: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried herb in 8 oz hot water for 5–10 minutes. Enjoy alone or combined with herbs like peppermint, ginger, or lemon balm.
Culinary: Sprinkle dried leaves into soups, sauces, or salads for a vibrant flavor boost.
Aromatherapy: Add to sachets, potpourri blends, or herbal pillows to create a soothing, aromatic atmosphere.
