Ayurvedic medicine calls it \"The Queen of Herbs,\" and its use traces back thousands of years to texts consistent with the classical Charaka Samhita.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTulsi is classified in Ayurveda as an adaptogen, traditionally used to support the body's resilience to everyday stress. Modern clinical research has taken a close look at this reputation, examining tulsi's relationship to cortisol and blood sugar levels already within normal range, while eugenol — one of its signature aromatic compounds — has been studied in preclinical research for its relationship to the body's normal, healthy inflammatory response.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Tulsi (Holy Basil)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support the body's normal, healthy stress response*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support cortisol levels already within normal range*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support blood sugar levels already within normal range*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support normal, healthy cognitive function and mental clarity*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support normal, healthy immune function*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassified as an adaptogen and rasayana in Ayurvedic medicine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSacred, culturally significant plant across Hindu tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromatic, peppery-clove flavor unlike typical teas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 1 tsp dried tulsi leaf to a cup of freshly boiled water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover and steep 8–10 minutes to preserve its aromatic volatile oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrain and enjoy warm, traditionally in the morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTraditional tip: There are three classic tulsi varieties — Rama, Krishna, and Vana — each with subtly different flavor notes, much like exploring different wine varietals.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Facts Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing size: 1 tsp (2g) loose leaf, approx. 45 servings per package.
