Story at-a-glance
- Tulsi, or holy basil, has been used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine to treat infections, fevers, and respiratory conditions, and promote overall vitality and balance
- Modern studies show tulsi supports stress recovery, lowers cortisol, improves memory, and boosts focus, with noticeable benefits in just weeks of consistent use
- Tulsi helps shield your body from toxic exposures like pesticides, radiation, and heavy metals by activating antioxidant enzymes and supporting liver detox pathways
- Tulsi supports immune health by improving macrophage activity, natural killer cell function, and immune signaling, even under high stress or chronic inflammation
- You can reap the benefits by drinking tulsi tea or taking supplements, but make sure to take caution if you're taking medications, pregnant, or breastfeeding, unless advised by a healthcare provider
