Learn more about holy basil and its benefits on my website here: draxe.com/holy-basil-benefits...
Tulsi, another name for holy basil, is highly regarded in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s suspected that holy basil is native to tropical Asia, although it now grows in many tropical climates across the globe. Most countries classify Holy Basil as an adaptogen herb, or anti-stress agent.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I talk about the powerful benefits of this herb. Watch to learn more.

Excellent effect on lowering my stress/anxiety levels! I just started using the capsules and I feel a dramatic difference! I feel so much calmer already! I can function better, think clearly, my GAD (anxiety disorder) is doing better and I hope to start sleeping better, too! A miracle for me!!!

Wrong basil in the photo. The photo is Genovese basil (what you use for pesto). There are several types of basil including lemon. Tulsi or “holy” basil is slightly different in growth, size of leaves are smaller. Flavor is delicious mixed with green tea. There is also a Krishna basil which I am growing first time this year. This Krishna also grows different. I’m looking forward to its unique flavor and how it works with my body.

@CarolPennington 3 года назад

A British-Indian doctor on TikTok recommended Tulsi tea & I started drinking it yesterday & was relieved to discover I enjoy it! I was concerned it might taste too bitter but I ended up drinking 3 mugs of Tulsi yesterday. I suffer with a lot of anxiety & I’m prone to autoimmune conditions so I hope this helps!

You forgot to say the most important thing and I learned this at the Royal Marsden hospital in the UK on a course for clinical aromatherapists. Holy basil blocks substance p and blocks pain. Find it really strange this wasn’t within the list as there is so much info showing the benefits and it works really well with end of life patients I have worked with. Think this is more important and you didn’t even have it on the list 😮

Greetings from Bangalore, India. Tulsi or Holy Basil is grown in almost every home in South India. You have explained this herb and it's medicinal benefits with such clarity, thank you Dr. I also read that Tulsi emits O3 molecules instead of O2 like all other plants. Is it true? In any case I too grow Tulsi in my little garden. It is excellent repellant of small pesky insects and mosquitoes. I drink Tulsi tea often, boiled with lemon grass. I do not suffer from anxiety but do have a history of hypothyroidism. I didn't know Tulsi can help in this case. Thank you for the video.

Hello there. I don't know if I am benefitting from Tulasi regarding my hypothyroidism. I am on allopathic medication for last few years. In the last 2 years it seems to have normalized a little. The reason attributed to I that I had a severe attack of covid 2 years ago and was on ventilator. When that difficult phase was over many changes have been noted in my physical health. One is that thyroid levels are near normal. I am told that post covid changes in pituitary gland functioning has been recorded. This may be temporary or permanent as enough data is not yet available to conclude. This also helped me lose quite a bit if my excess weight. In the last 2 - 3 months though, I am feeling heavy and have gained a couple of kilos. I am due thyroid test next week and will know what is happening in that area. As regards taking tulasi for thyroid it needs to be taken in combination with ashwagansha. I am 64 years old woman and the Ayurvedic doctors here advice that at my age I shouldn't take ashwagandha as it is a strong aphrodisiac. I do take tulasi tea often with a little lemon juice as I find it refreshing. Sometimes we make a decoction of tulasi and pepper for cough. Also I never combine allopathic meds with Ayurvedic meds unless I formally consult a doctor. Ayurvedic medicine tend to be very potent. Hope this helps.
