AHPA’s 40 Herbs We Love – No. 23: Holy Basil (with love from Natural Remedies)

October 6, 2022

AHPA's 40th anniversary celebrations continue with our showcase of the twenty-third of many beloved herbs at the heart of our robust industry and vibrant community.

No. 23: Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)

People worldwide have two major health concerns: stress and its impact on healthy sleep. Unfortunately, these issues are rising.

A longstanding Ayurvedic herb, tulsi—also known as holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum)—is commonly used as an adaptogen, which helps the body to attain healthy balance physiologically.

Holy basil is well-studied with over 1000 publications, including 24 clinical studies. Natural Remedies research on this herb led to the development of the standardized extract, Holixer™, supported by human clinical research demonstrating value for stress management and reduction, improved sleep, and higher quality of life at a low dose..
