Tulsi has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda for its

diverse healing properties. It is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita,

an ancient Ayurvedic text. Tulsi is considered to be an adaptogen,

balancing different processes in the body, and helpful for adapting to

stress. Marked by its strong aroma and astringent taste, it is

regarded in Ayurveda as a kind of "elixir of life" and believed to

promote longevity.

Tulsi has played a significant role in the history of mankind due to the

multitude of benefits that it possesses and uses it offers. The extract

obtained from the plants is used to cure various diseases such as

common cold, inflammation, malaria, heart diseases and many

more. Tulsi contains hundreds of beneficial compounds and possess

strong antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, adaptogenic and

immune enhancing properties. Tulsi also aids in the purification of

atmosphere. It has been used for centuries as an important

component of Ayurveda for its diverse healing properties. It is

because of these numerous benefits that “tulsi medicinal plant” is

worshiped as a goddess in India.

Tulsi is identified by botanists primarily as Ocimum sanctum (Rama

and Krishna Tulsi varieties) or more recently Ocimum tenuiflorum,

and Ocimum gratissimum (Vana Tulsi variety). Belonging to the

Lamiaceae/Labiatae mint family, these and other closely related

species and varieties (e.g., Ocimum canum) are cousins of the

familiar sweet basil cooking herb Ocimum basilicum. In parts of

India, all of the basils are honoured as Tulsi.

Tulsi�-�Botanical�Identity

Basils are native to tropical Asia, likely having originated in India.

Robust Tulsi varieties readily grow wild in many areas of Asia and

Africa. Tulsi is a bushy perennial shrub, usually cultivated annually

from seed, although it can also be propagated from tip or root

cuttings.

The chemical composition of Tulsi is highly complex, containing

many nutrients and other biologically active compounds, the

proportions of which may vary considerably between strains and

even among plants within the same field. The nutritional and

pharmacological properties of the whole herb in its natural form, as

it has been traditionally used, result from synergistic interactions of

many different active phytochemicals. Consequently, the overall

effects of Tulsi cannot be fully duplicated with isolated compounds or

extracts.

Because of its inherent botanical and biochemical complexity, Tulsi

standardization has, so far, eluded modern science. Perhaps best

known of the many active compounds that have been identified and

extracted are eugenol (an essential oil) and ursolic acid. Although

Tulsi is known as a general vitalizer and increases physical

endurance, it contains no caffeine or other stimulants.
