Organic Holy Basil Tea

Holy basil, otherwise known as tulsi, is known for its therapeutic power when it comes to maintaining homeostasis and fighting the effects of stress. The tulsi plant has a rich history dating back 3,000 years ago to ancient India. It’s long been considered an adaptogen and medicinal, sacred herb in Ayurvedic medicine. Historically, it was used as medicine and still is today due to its anti-stress effects that promote balance throughout the entire body (including in the immune, reproductive, central nervous and cardiovascular systems).

Many of its protective effects are due to its rich concentration of phytonutrients including, eugenol, oleanolic acid, urolic acid, rosmarinic acid, carvacrol and others.
