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.
