Holy Basil Benefits | Benefits of Tulsi | Ocimum sanctum
In this episode, you’ll learn all about holy basil benefits for your heart, immune system, brain health and so much more. In fact, there’s so much to know about the health benefits of holy basil (also known as Tulsi or Ocimum sanctum) that I decided to record this episode in two parts. Watch for part two, all about Tulsi Tea Benefits and Holy Basil Side Effects, next week.
In the meantime, I’m also sharing a beautifully illustrated holy basil ebook to give you an easy way to keep all the information I share today organized.
After listening in, you’ll know:
► The differences between the four varieties of holy basil
► Why certain herbs (including holy basil) are often best taken daily over a long period of time
► Which commonly-used mouthwash active ingredient was outperformed by holy basil extract
► Five health concerns which can be benefited by holy basil’s ability to decrease unwanted and chronic inflammation, as demonstrated by clinical studies. This is a big deal because most chronic diseases have some component of systemic inflammation! (As an aside, one of my passions is helping people figure out how to best work with herbs and lifestyle changes to powerfully reduce chronic inflammation so that they can finally address the root cause of their chronic illness. If that’s something you or someone you love could benefit from, be sure to check out my free training at: herb-training.com)
► How holy basil can be worked with to address cold sore outbreaks, ringworm, or eczema
► Why holy basil can be a wonderful ally during cold and flu season (plus four other herbs you might consider taking at the same time)
► and so much more…

I like it before bed as a sleep aid
While being my husband's caregiver my herbalist recommended a tea of holy basil, lemon balm and nettle. I used this tea blend for almost a year to help with my stress in dealing with being his sole caregiver. I'm so glad to hear of all the additional benefits of Holy Basil! Now, I'll move on to your video about Lemon Balm! Thank you for all your herbal information!
I added Holy Basil to my herbs last year but it wasn't until I grew it this year that I started nibbling on its leaves a few times a day as I walked past it! I have since learned SO many benefits of this lovely plant! Thank you for this excellent video about this amazing medicince!
You are such a wonderful warm generous intelligent human being. Thank you for your generosity sharing this knowledge freely with others. Very grateful to you and your wonderful crew. It is such a delight to watch and learn from your videos, they are excellently produced. Thank you, and may God Bless You All! ❤
Amazing! Thank you so much! 💛🌿
Thankyou Rosalee , love the information you kindly share .
Wow! My hubby has type 2 diabetes, memory issues and recently had a heart attack. I don’t like the flavour myself but am listening with great interest for him! Thank you!
Wow thank you everyone for the part's you each play in making this and all videos avaliable to us. I've learned so much.😃 ❤
What an amazing plant! I love the fragrance! Thank you for the information!
Loved this video, and the team credits at the end are a nice addition. I was just thinking about how beautiful the shots of plants are (“wait- Rosalee just mentioned how she likes to pair holy basil with ginger for one specific thing and there’s a beautiful image of holy basil and ginger? Wow!”), and now I know that Francesca is the person to give my kudos to! Well done!
Ocimum africanum is my favorite too!! 💜🌿 thank you so much for sharing
Holy Basil is my favorite!!
I made holy basil tincture last year but really never used it. I This year my 18 year old son and I got upper respiratory infections- I think it was strep throat- at the same time. We got the same antibiotics. On the second day of antibiotics I started taking holy basil tincture 3 times a day and offered it to him. He tried it but didn’t like the way it tasted so he refused to take it. By the next day I had no more sore throat and felt almost perfect. I quit the antibiotics. He continued with his antibiotics only and had a bad sore groat for 5 days. Later this summer I had a cough and sinus drip. I took my drops a couple of days and felt fine by the next day. It’s amazing!!! I have holy basil in my garden bc and make both hot and iced tea with it often!
thank you so much, lovely informative information!

Welcome!
I ordered the Rama holy basil & ashwagandha from mt rose herbs and so eager to get my herbs.
I would like a short video on seed saving and winter plant care so it comes back next year. Cold, snowy, mountain winters here.

Do the same benefits apply to all the different types of holy basil? Is one type better than another Thank you rosalee, you rock!
I love your slow, conversational approach to teaching. So much more enjoyable and easier to integrate than so many rapid-fire, KZread herbalists. What would you say are the significant differences between Holy Basil and Rhodiola rosea?

Thanks for your kind words! I don't see a lot of similarities between rhodiola and holy basil so a list of differences would be really long. I do have an article about rhodiola on my website if you're interested. You can search for it using the search function and the site is herbswithrosalee .com Thanks again!
One of the herbs i use now. Helps really good with post covid gutissues due to histamine intolerance. Takes the anxiety away depression and more strength.
It’s my favorite tea which I grow because I want to know that is truly organic and safe! I feel uplifted in the body, mind & spirit when drinking it and also notice a lag in my thinking, mood & feel less positive when I forget to have my daily cup! I’m wondering if there are any contraindications?
Can you help by sending some information on gout what we can use for Uric acid
I cannot find the tulsi seeds you were speaking of on this video. Strickly Medcinal herbs does dont have thst variety available. Is there another site? Love your show!
I love the smell! I bring it inside to dry for the smell.
I bought Organic India Tulsi tea original and has three varieties. What do you think of buying it as a tea? Thank you!
Thank you Rosalee for this post on Tulsi, and for all your beautiful herbal tutorials. You bring such light to our herbal world.
How would you make the mouth wash? Alcohol?
Does dried for tea work as well as fresh in salads?
Does part 2 include the heart health tea you mentioned?

I'm not familiar with hairy basil. Do you know the latin binomial for it?

Ай бұрын
@@HerbsWithRosalee I am sorry, I don’t have the latin name. It’s written on the package hairy basil seed 100% (mangluk) or graines de basilique 100%. The seeds are black, I think it’s from Thailand.
How much of this plant is safe to take in teas daily?
