Holy Basil
History
Known as the "Mother Medicine of Nature," Holy Basil (Tulsi) has been revered throughout India for thousands of years. In Ayurvedic tradition, it is considered a pillar of holistic medicine and is often described as a goddess incarnated in plant form. Many traditional homes maintain a sacred altar for a living Tulsi plant in their central courtyard to invite divine protection and grace. The Vana variety is a "tree basil" or "wild basil" native to India and East Africa, where it has historically played a central role in both spiritual folk practices and physical wellness rituals.
Benefits
Energetic: Tulsi is considered a sacred herb that purifies the aura and protects the home from negative influences. It is used to promote "Sattva" (purity and balance), helping to align the spirit with a sense of calm, divine presence.
Physical: This "Vana" variety is specifically used to support immune health, helping the body stay resilient. Historically, it has been used in folk practices for its healthful, restorative properties that help the body adapt to stressors.
Aromatherapy: Vana Tulsi is prized for its complex, fragrant profile that carries notes of clove, peppermint, and lemon. Its aroma is deeply soothing to the nervous system, making it an ideal choice for clearing mental fatigue and creating a meditative environment.
