Holy Basil

Holy Basil

Holy Basil [Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as Ocimum sanctum)] has been shown to possess powerful adaptogenic properties and has been used to enhance the body's ability to respond to stress and minimize the negative effects of stress on the body.  In addition, animal studies have demonstrated that Holy Basil can support carbohydrate metabolism and, as a result, healthy blood glucose levels. Studies suggest diabetics may benefit from Holy Basil’s blood sugar lowering properties and one study also showed cholesterol-lowering effects.

Research also indicates Holy Basil has potent therapeutic potential for peptic ulcer sufferers due to its anti-ulcerogenic and ulcer healing properties. Through its various neurotransmitter-modulating effects it may have analgesic properties as well as anti-stress effects. Stress related changes in levels of hormones such as cortisol and the corticosteroids are generating interest due their negative impact on everything from weight management, to healing, and memory. Studies show Holy Basil to have anti-stressor properties and a normalizing influence on stress and corticosteroid hormone levels.

Holy Basil derivatives have been shown to inhibit the inflammatory COX-2 and LOX enzyme systems and may help sufferers of arthritis and inflammatory diseases.

Holy Basil is revered as a sacred plant in Ayurveda, the traditional therapeutic system of India.
