Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Tulsi, has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda, the traditional therapeutic system of India, and has both spiritual and medicinal significance. In Hinduism, the plant is regarded as the holiest of all plants and many families keep a plant in front of or near their homes. Used for centuries in ancient Ayurvedic, Roman, and Greek systems of medicine, it is just in recent decades that this beneficial plant has begun gaining popularity in the West. Indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, Holy Basil is a member of the mint family and is a bushy shrub with delicate flowers and woody stalks that are often fashioned into cherished beads. While closely related, Holy Basil, with its peppery, clove-like flavor, should not be confused with culinary basil (Ocimum basilicum), its sweet counterpart used in cooking. Holy Basil leaves contain a variety of valuable, naturally-occurring chemical constituents, including ursolic acid.
