Although related to the basil we use in cooking, holy basil has different medicinal properties. Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as Ocimum sanctum) is a medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use in India and Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, holy basil was used to treat malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, skin diseases, joint inflammation, painful eye conditions, chronic fever, and insect bites. This is likely due to the many active constituents of holy basil, including tannins, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids, which are responsible for its antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antispasmodic, analgesic, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, and cell-protective activities.

Nowadays, holy basil is mainly used as an adaptogen, as it has been established to induce relaxation, promote a sense of calm, and reduce stress and low mood. It has also been shown to lower blood sugar and cholesterol in diabetic subjects. Animal studies have demonstrated that it reduces cortisol, the stress hormone.

AOR's Holy Basil is an excellent option for people looking for a herbal anti-stress supplement with additional benefits of blood sugar stabilization and cardiovascular health support.
