Holy Basil Plus is a synergistic, immune boosting formula with traditional herbs like Ashwagandha and Curcumin in a 22:1 extract, traditionally used in Ayurveda as a rejuvenative tonic (Rasayana). The chief ingredient in this formula is holy basil, also known as tulsi. Tulsi is revered in many cultures, found in homes and gardens all over South Asia. Personified as a Goddess herself, she is dear to Lord Vishnu, and essential in daily worship. She cultivates the quality of sattva, the peaceful state of mind conducive for self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. Tulsi is chalked full of antioxidants and is traditionally used in Ayurveda as an expectorant to help relieve cough, colds and relieve respiratory mucus buildup, as a heart tonic, as a digestive stimulant and as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress.
