Description
Ocimum tenuiflorum
A tonic medicinal herb, also noted for its sweet flavor.
Tulsi is a sacred plant in Hinduism, used as an offering in spiritual ceremonies, to sanctify outdoor spaces and promote relaxation. Ayurvedic practitioners call Tulsi the “Queen of Herbs” and praise her adaptogenic properties that promote mental clarity and reduce stress. Her flavor is sweeter than most basils—makes an excellent sun tea. Flowers are beloved by bees.
