Organic Holy Basil

Origin | source of biotin and vitamin B3

 

This particular basil plant is native to tropical and subtropical Asia, specifically the Indian subcontinent. It is a member of the mint family and grows at altitudes up to 1800 meters. The plant is also known as Indian basil, tulsi or Holy Basil. The herb was considered sacred by Indian kings. The name “Tulsi” means “The Incomparable”, presumably because of its unique health benefits.

What active ingredients does Holy Basil contain?

Organic Holy Basil or tulsi is considered an adaptogen, a so-called “adaptation helper” that makes people more robust to stressful stimuli and environmental disturbances. The active ingredient eugenol contained in the leaves also has a disinfecting effect and inhibits the growth of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Tulsi also contains ursolic acid and carvacrol, both of which have antimicrobial properties. And this plant is full of valuable B vitamins, why we are very fond of it.
