Ocimum Sanctum
A powerful aromatic herb used extensively both in Ayurvedic clinical and folk medicine, Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is considered a purifier of the mind, body, and spirit.
Tulsi holds a special place in Hindu courtyards across India, where it is planted for its auspicious and protective powers. The distinctive blend of medicinal and fragrant qualities in this sharp, fresh herbaceous-minty oil has earned it the title "Elixir of Life." With potent therapeutic benefits, their Tulsi essential oil stands as an aromatic jewel that belongs in every natural medicine chest.
This formidable Basil oil, cherished for centuries, is celebrated for its protective and uplifting nature. Tulsi, meaning "the incomparable one," is believed to embody a purifying radiance that refines the body, mind, and spirit. Tulsi brilliantly boosts vitality and can be used daily to maintain resilient health. When diffused, Tulsi promotes vitality for the entire family and should always be on hand, especially when children experience congestion.
Reminiscent of freshly cut Basil, Tulsi's unique fragrance qualities are spicy, sweet, and herbaceous-minty, with a pronounced warm, clove-like accent. Its effects are warming, clarifying, and uplifting.
