Holy Tulsi Basil: Nature’s Stress Reliever and Heart Healer

Written By Stephanie Proffit

If one herb could wear a superhero cape, it would be Tulsi. Known as Holy Basil and revered across cultures, Tulsi is your herbal ally for emotional resilience, immune support, and spiritual clarity.

At Dancing Gardens, Tulsi holds a special place in our hearts—and in our soil. Even Hoosier Herb lights up when Tulsi season rolls around!

Benefits of Tulsi:

  • Lowers stress and cortisol levels

  • Strengthens immunity and respiratory health

  • Supports heart wellness and emotional balance

  • Acts as an adaptogen—helping your body handle whatever life throws at you

How to Use Tulsi:

  • Tea: Steep fresh or dried leaves with honey and lemon.

  • Tincture: A few drops a day to ease anxiety or tension.

  • Fresh: Add to salads, smoothies, or even bathwater for spiritual cleansing.

Whether you grow it in a pot or a garden bed, Tulsi brings peace, purpose, and plant-powered joy.
