Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as Holy Basil, is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. Called the “Queen of Herbs,” it is used to promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and immune resilience. Traditionally sipped for vitality and spiritual wellbeing, Tulsi is now enjoyed globally as a gentle adaptogen that supports stress relief, digestion, and respiratory health. Our dried whole leaf is ideal for daily tea or blends.
- Traditionally used to support mood, stress response, immunity, and spiritual clarity
- Helps clear the lungs and soothe cough, congestion, or allergy symptoms
- Considered a heart and adrenal tonic in both Ayurvedic and modern herbal systems
- Common in calming or energising blends depending on dose and time of day
- Mildly spicy and aromatic with a clove-like, grounding flavour
Tea: Steep 1–2 tsp in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Drink 1–3 cups daily for clarity, calm, or respiratory support. Add honey and ginger for cold season blends.
Tincture: Take 2–5 mL (1:5) up to 2x/day as a daily adaptogen or calming aid. Combine with lemon balm, ashwagandha, or licorice.
Infused bath: Add strong infusion to warm water for relaxation or skin inflammation.
Steam or compress: Inhale Tulsi tea or use as a sinus rinse or compress for congestion. Always strain well before topical use.
Culinary (mild): Occasionally used in lentil soups or masala chai, though more commonly enjoyed as a tea than a cooking herb.
Tulsi is widely appreciated for its ability to both calm and energise — customers enjoy it solo or blended with other herbs like nettle, lemon balm, or raspberry leaf. While some Tulsi teas are made from blends of Rama, Krishna, and Vana varieties, our dried cut is a single strain with a smooth, mild flavour. If you're looking for a stronger or more aromatic flavour, try combining with ginger or cinnamon. Not all Tulsi tastes the same — strength and flavour can vary by variety, harvest, and cut.
