Holy Basil (Tulsi) is one of the most sacred plants in India and is often kept in courtyards and houses for its purifying and beneficial influence on its surroundings. Holy Basil is known as an elixir of life, queen of herbs and mother nature of medicine. It promotes optimal function of the lungs and heart, bolsters the immune system, heightens awareness and promotes mental clarity. Today’s plant scientists have classified Sacred Basil as an adaptogen – a substance that helps us adapt mentally and physically to stressful circumstances. When taken daily, it can move a person towards vibrant health.

Laura grows Holy Basil in her organic garden and creates her own tinctures with a simple blend of 80 proof alcohol and the tulsi leaves. To read more about the tincture, visit Laura’s blog.

Suggested use: Add 30 drops (about 1/2 tsp) to the tongue directly or mix with warm water, juice, or your favorite tea. Use 1-3 times daily, as a rejuvenating adaptogenic tonic. (We recommend everyone listen to their body intuitively; follow the dosage that resonates the most with you).
