Tulsi, another name for holy basil, is highly regarded in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s suspected that holy basil is native to tropical Asia, although it now grows in many tropical climates across the globe. Most countries classify Holy Basil as an adaptogen herb, or anti-stress agent.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I talk about the powerful benefits of this herb. Watch to learn more.

I had acid reflux then I drank three tulsi from Pukka and it went away. Just putting that out there if it could help someone!
M E what is tulsi ?
@@enelsicastro6912 It's Holy Basil. However, I noticed that Pukka has changed the name of the tea to "Tulsi Clarity"

Hi Noor! Hope you’re still doing well. Can you please share what you used? I am suffering. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am really thankful to have found your website, I was praying and asking God for some good really advice on herbs and good eating. I have really enjoyed it and shared this video's. Keep up the great work Dr. Josh Axe and Jordan Rubuen. 🖒☺
So great to hear, Leslie. Thanks for the support!
I have watched some of your videos many times. As I learn more over time, I realized your videos are the best among all.
Agreed! The information is very consistent and I feel like I have truly Leaned not just following instructions!
I LOVE the smell of holy basil, grapey. I love the flavor, it really calms more bitter herbs in teas, also, like white willow or wild lettuce.
Hey Dr axe. I'm a 23 year old male about to start med school & I have been under such great emotional stress! Even though I have most of these herbs & supplements memorized it helps bring me back to reality that I can feel good, motivated & normal once again even in the wake of life's challenges. Thank you man
-Caylan
how did med school go?
Thank Dr. Axe. Your adaptogenic videos have been lifesavers esp the functional mushrooms. Another great video.
Holy Basil Batman!! I'm so glad I've got this growing in my garden! Now I want to plant a lot more of it!
A British-Indian doctor on TikTok recommended Tulsi tea & I started drinking it yesterday & was relieved to discover I enjoy it! I was concerned it might taste too bitter but I ended up drinking 3 mugs of Tulsi yesterday. I suffer with a lot of anxiety & I’m prone to autoimmune conditions so I hope this helps!
Hi did it help?
@@ushagulcharan9601 it helps for me. But it's very individual like all herbs are.
did it help?
Did this help you? Would love to hear from you please🙏🏼🙏🏼 hope you are doing well . Thank you!
I just used holy basil on my 2nd fermentation in kombucha with cobcord grape can't wait to see hoe it taste!
I like your channel and specially this video. MY husband was diagnosed with anxiety and I got soo much info in this video. Thanks Dr.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. we appreciate your time. All the best to you.
Good day Dr Axe very good info I too suffer from anxiety at times but this is helpful 😊
The timing off this is weirdly perfect. Thanks Dr. youve helped me and family soo much
Truth
Thank The Most High that I found this channel
Wrong basil in the photo. The photo is Genovese basil (what you use for pesto). There are several types of basil including lemon. Tulsi or “holy” basil is slightly different in growth, size of leaves are smaller. Flavor is delicious mixed with green tea. There is also a Krishna basil which I am growing first time this year. This Krishna also grows different. I’m looking forward to its unique flavor and how it works with my body.
Amazing. Thanks for the info....just started taking holy basil....has really helped
I have plants and i used this as my everyday tea. It really helps me with my nervousness and for my thyroid. Thanks Dr. AXE. 😉😍
Please can you explain how much basil you take per day. You take it fresh or dry ?
How many leaves do you use? Thanks
@@amalel-otmani7260 approximately 15 leaves per mug..i used mug instead of cup 😂.
Approximately 15 leaves..fresh from my garden..
@@amalel-otmani7260 fresh holy basil from my garden..
thank you Dr. you are so awesome... people need to get back to basics again... I was blessed with such knowledge from my grandmother, but i was losing this knowledge from lack of use... THANK YOU FOR THE DAILY REMINDERS, I have you on auto... GOD BLESS!
Thank you for the information. MOSTLY, thank you for giving us the dosage.
I just love this man he really help people to cure
You forgot to say the most important thing and I learned this at the Royal Marsden hospital in the UK on a course for clinical aromatherapists. Holy basil blocks substance p and blocks pain. Find it really strange this wasn’t within the list as there is so much info showing the benefits and it works really well with end of life patients I have worked with. Think this is more important and you didn’t even have it on the list 😮
WoW! This is helpful - great explaining it. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing; I cook with holy basil on a daily basis as one of my Thai dishes "pad kra pow" from my menu items at my restaurant. Now is the season for this herb and it's easy to find it at our local Asian stores.
😍😍😍yummy
I have holy basils plants in my home. When I was a kid then I used to eat them a lot.
Informative video, thank you for sharing. I love watching your content.
Pronunciation for Tulsi is Tul-cee 🙏🏾
Its a wild herb where i live, i love adding it to my tea
Thank you for making this video!
Thank you so much! Now that I am learning about so many of these, how many do I take at a time? Just wanted to time? Or all of them every day? I would love a video about balancing them in the diet and adding them to every day life… Thanks again for what you do!
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks, you always have the answer!
Thank you , Dr. Axe .
I knew Holy Basil was magical in some way lol Bought my first box of this stuff organic too 💚 it. I actually take it as an eve tea and notice myself more calm the next day. New Subbie here. ✅
I notice less anxiety a half hour after I take it.
I know this comment is very old, he do you remember which brand you bought or where you purchased it from? I am unwell and looking for something to help me feel calm. Thank you 🙏🏼 Hope you are doing well
Thank You For All This Knowledge
Dr Axe is the best out there
Just bought some holy basil tea. It smells just like the Indian grocery store next to the Indian restaurant where I went on my birthday.
Amazing work man
Great video. Thank you. 🌻
These tips on thyroid health are awesome! I have applied every single one of these tips for thyroid health/hypothyroidism and my TSH has come way down and now is in an optimal range!! Still experiencing symptoms.. insomnia, anxiety, (why I clicked on this video), and hair loss but I will also apply these additional tips.
Can you post an update?
Any update on thyroid health?
Loved it..I will order. HOLY BASIL
Wow! Amazing content . I am currently drying a ton of Tulsi !!
Thank you so much dr axe about this topic and I am going to buy these herbs I suffered from hypothyroidism and anxiety disorder. You are very compassionate man 🙏🇦🇺

thanks a lot doc.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi doctor can you do a review on Aswaganda, centella asiacita (gotukola) and Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri).. benefits of these herbs because these are beign used in Ayurvedic medicine. Thanks
8:03 is an image of sweet culinary basil, not holy basil. Tulsi is usually pronounced " tulsee " not " tulsie" .
This is soo good ! A doctor that actually understand health natural medicine and herb plants.Thats amazing, your videos are very instructive and helpful for us in study course for health and biology. My health is way better now that I've got classes online with Dr. Axe

Great info. I take holy basil for fibromyalgia in addition to the reasons you talked about. I highly recommend this. Have a nice day.
I have fibromyalhia does that help and if soo how .thank you Sonja Brady
Can you advice if there was a difference?
@@springrolls8284 I felt the pain melt away. And I did my own research. I also used magnesium spray which really helped. Clove oil mixed with a carrier oil will take out the pain too. My pain was excruciating. Hope this helps. I still get residual pain and I always have these on hand to help. I suffered for years. I'd also get your thyroid checked. If you fix that you fix a lot of issues. Have a nice day.
@@kittengem4243 Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it and will try it.
Any clinical studies showing it reduces cortisol levels
Thanks for this. Do you have any advice on linchen?
Great video 👏
Your awsome man been watching a while now
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Tul-see. Great video. It grows like a weed in my country
Great sir
Thanks I put basil leafs in my coffee😋 I love it!
Thank you dr
Very good video
Greetings from Bangalore, India. Tulsi or Holy Basil is grown in almost every home in South India. You have explained this herb and it's medicinal benefits with such clarity, thank you Dr.
I also read that Tulsi emits O3 molecules instead of O2 like all other plants. Is it true?
In any case I too grow Tulsi in my little garden. It is excellent repellant of small pesky insects and mosquitoes. I drink Tulsi tea often, boiled with lemon grass. I do not suffer from anxiety but do have a history of hypothyroidism. I didn't know Tulsi can help in this case.
Thank you for the video.
Hi! You had a low T3? Has this helped you? I hope to hear from you . Hope you are doing better 🙏🏼 Thank you so much!
Hello there.
I don't know if I am benefitting from Tulasi regarding my hypothyroidism. I am on allopathic medication for last few years. In the last 2 years it seems to have normalized a little. The reason attributed to I that I had a severe attack of covid 2 years ago and was on ventilator. When that difficult phase was over many changes have been noted in my physical health. One is that thyroid levels are near normal. I am told that post covid changes in pituitary gland functioning has been recorded. This may be temporary or permanent as enough data is not yet available to conclude. This also helped me lose quite a bit if my excess weight.
In the last 2 - 3 months though, I am feeling heavy and have gained a couple of kilos. I am due thyroid test next week and will know what is happening in that area.
As regards taking tulasi for thyroid it needs to be taken in combination with ashwagansha. I am 64 years old woman and the Ayurvedic doctors here advice that at my age I shouldn't take ashwagandha as it is a strong aphrodisiac.
I do take tulasi tea often with a little lemon juice as I find it refreshing. Sometimes we make a decoction of tulasi and pepper for cough.
Also I never combine allopathic meds with Ayurvedic meds unless I formally consult a doctor. Ayurvedic medicine tend to be very potent.
Hope this helps.
I have started to use Moringa and Holy Basil for fibromyalgia and depression/Anxiety hoping to be able to knock off the pharmo meds..watching from UK
Hey there! Thanks so much for reaching out. You may find this article on natural treatments for fibromyalgia helpful: draxe.com/health/natural-fibromyalgia-treatment/?

Dr Josh, what is better, Ashwaganda or holy basil.?
I have Holy Basil tea every day at least twice or three times a day, called Tulsi Tea it tastes lovely and I know it is doing me good. I have hypothyroidism so I realise the potential it has to benefit me.

Holy Basil is awesome.
If you were to use Holy Basil by making a tincture and taking it would this be as beneficial? And if so how many drops would you recommend? Also making it into tea how much dried holy basil would you use to make a tea?
I can attest to basil. My mother us diabetic and she turns 78 due to consuming this since her childhood. She grows them in her garden, so how can we make an essential oil from it?
Brilliant thank u
Thanks dr axe...what most potent brand you recommend regarding the following herbs holy Basil.. Maca rroots..ashwagandha n siberiang ginseng..??? Thank you
Perfect timing Dr. Axe. I just came home from my Hashimotos endocrinologist and I mentioned to him I feel so anxious inside, thought maybe it was due to Synthroid. Anyway, are their any bad side effects we should look out for, or can the holy basil adversely interact with Synthroid? As always, I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing!!
Have you tried compounding thyroid medication? It's amazing!
Thanks
will try..
i'll make some holy basil tea now
What about taking Holy Basil in tonic form?
What about using fresh holy basil? It's very easy to grow. Do you use it as you would sweet basil?
Awesome. Christ bless you.
Basil Linalool Essential oil is it the same ??!! hope someone reply

Did you ever talk about how it cuts off Luteinizing Hormone? And how in India it’s use to kill fertility usually in men?
I suffer from anxiety .Exactly.. Started taking this in a tea tonight.
Did the tea help with your anxiety?
@@sunshyne81lbs17 It did.. but I havent had it for a while. Been a coffee drinker.Will start again
@@RiRi-bx5vp once you stop drinking it did you anxiety return? Were you drinking the tea in the morning also or only at bed time?
@@sunshyne81lbs17 I drank it only at bed time. It didnt return but the trigger that caused it flared it up again. Im going to start drinking it again.
How long should you take this for?
Thank you very much doctor
I am suffering from stress and hypothyroidism
This information is very useful for me
Since 20 day's i am having basil tea
The shyam tulsi tea
I am boiling the stems with the leaves
As shyama tulsi is green majenda colour
When i got my menstrual cycle
I obseved that my menstrual cycle blood was red to majenda colour
I daily boil upto100 leaves with stems
The stems are purpulish majenda in colour
What's your opinion or advice to me
Doctor pls reply
100 tulsi leaves might be too much. Tulsi has Hotter properties. So, 100 leaves a day may create other issues in the body due to it's hotter prakriti.
Anything in excess can harm. Find the equilibrium.
Sorry but I need to point out, it is pronounced tul-see

Thanks. Can you help us out on the other youtube videos too?
In Nepalese Tulasi
I have an important question. Can you take holy basil tea if you already have low blood pressure? I drank ginseng tea before and it made me have almost no energy. I think it was the panax. I already have low blood pressure and it lowered it to a dangerous point. Since holy basil is an adaptogen, do I have to worry about it lowering my already low blood pressure? Thanks in advance.
Good question I too suffer from bouts of low blood pressure. Holy basil is one of the few herbs that helps to raise BP. As you know most other herbs lower BP. I have a BP wrist monitor and I do not take Tulsi unless my BP is low. On a side note if I happen to have high BP I take horny goat weed. One of the main uses in TCM is to lower BP. Hope this helps...
