One of the oldest aromatic herbs in the Lamiacaceae family
is Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum). Because of its medicinal, nutritional and spiritual
properties, it is widely known as "holy basil or sacred basil" and is
present in almost every household in the Indian sub-continent. It is often
referred to as "the incomparable one, the natural medicine mother and the
herb queen." It has great medicinal significance. Leaves and flowers have
good dietary sources of healthy fatty acids, β-carotene, calcium, vitamin C,
and volatile substances that keep our bodies healthy. Hindus make garland using
the wood or seeds of tulsi, which are strings of beads used to assist in
meditation, mind concentration, chanting a devotional practise that links the
body, mind, and spirit. The emphasis of this analysis is on the beneficial
effects of Tulsi, such as its therapeutic, nutritional and spiritual
properties. It strengthens the immune system to be adopted as an adaptogen in
any setting. It has many important properties, including anti-stress,
anti-cancer, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-radiation,
insecticidal, insect repellent, flavouring, colouring and many other
uncountable properties. It has not only medicinal properties, but also
spiritual nutritional properties that are only present in this plant; it is
therefore considered to be "the Queen of Green Medicines."
