Science Spotlight: Tulsi (Holy Basil) 🧪🌿
•
Let’s talk science👩🏽🔬
•
Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Tulsi, isn’t just folklore or “calm vibes.” It’s classified as an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body respond more effectively to stress — and yes, there’s research to support that.
•
Clinical studies have shown Tulsi may help reduce cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone, while also supporting a balanced inflammatory response. Research published in journals like Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine and Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine highlights Tulsi’s influence on stress markers, immune modulation, and COX-2 pathways involved in inflammation.
•
Translation?
Tulsi helps the body stay steady when stress tries to steal the remote.
•
Our Tulsi Glycerite is made from locally grown holy basil, slowly extracted over 6+ weeks to preserve its active compounds. The result is a naturally sweet, gentle extract that supports calm without sedation — no side effects, no hype.
•
Serious science. Friendly herb.
As if it’s not legit. (It totally is.)🌿
