What Is Tulsi (Holy Basil)? The Queen of Herbs

In millions of Indian homes, a Tulsi plant grows by the front door — tended daily, even prayed to. So what makes this humble basil so revered?

More than an herb

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), or Holy Basil, is sacred in Indian culture and central to Ayurveda, where it's called the "queen of herbs." It's traditionally brewed as a daily tea and valued as an adaptogen — a herb used to help the body adapt to everyday demands.*

Why people take it today

People most often take Tulsi to support a relaxed, balanced state of mind and to help the body cope with everyday stress.* It's also a traditional favorite for supporting everyday immune and respiratory wellness, especially through changing seasons.*

A daily serving with water is the simple approach. Our Tulsi Capsules deliver 1000 mg per serving of single-herb Holy Basil — the convenience of a capsule with none of the artificial extras.
