What Is Holy Basil?
Holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) isn’t your average basil. It’s different from the sweet basil you use to make mama’s marinara sauce or the Thai basil you throw into a steaming bowl of pho. Native to Southeast Asia, holy basil has been used medicinally for centuries. Typically grown in large amounts in the courtyards of many Hindu forts, it was believed that the herb could cleanse the body. Holy basil promotes purity and lightness in the body, cleansing the respiratory tract of toxins, and relieving digestive gas and bloating. Holy basil leaves offer a rich source of essential oil, containing eugenol, nerol, camphor, and a variety of terpenes and flavonoids.

But besides just adding taste to your cooking dishes, basil has several health benefits as well. This little herb may help lower cholesterol and enhance the immune system.

Holy Basil is an Adaptogen & Antioxidant:
Holy basil, a small shrub with scented leaves, is widely used throughout south Asia for purported medicinal purposes and as an herbal tea. Ayurvedic medicine regards holy basil as an adaptogen -- an herb that brings body systems into balance and increases resilience. Scientific studies have supported the use of holy basil for some health conditions. Cultured holy basil showed more antioxidant content and activity levels than field-grown plants, in a study published in the October 2007 "Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry."
Holy Basil Stress Buster:
Stress is a natural part of everyday life. Stress occurs when the demands placed upon us exceed our body's ability to cope. The body's response to stress, often referred to as the "flight-or-fight" response, occurs automatically at these times. The adrenal glands release stress hormones, including cortisol, adrenaline and corticosterone, which give you a boost of energy and strength to either "fight" or "flee." This makes sense when faced with a physical threat, but this same response also helps you deal with stressful psychological or emotional demands. For example, this energy boost can enhance your focus helping you to perform optimally at work or improve mental clarity, allowing you to quickly deal with a conflict at home. So in this sense, some stress (and our body's response to it) is good for you - it helps us respond in emergencies. When the stressful situation has passed, the hormone levels naturally decline. Holy basil leaves are a natural source of many important compounds that provide a wide variety of health benefits. Eugenol and caryophyllene are aromatic compounds, so named because of their pleasing fragrance or "aroma." These compounds are present in many plants, including holy basil, and have long been used in essential oils because their fragrant scent is said to elevate both mood and spirit.
Holy Basil And Detoxifying:
Holy basil possesses significant detoxifying ability.Holy basil has a strong antioxidant action in the brain resulting in improved memory and slower cognition decline. The September 2007 issue of the "Journal of Medicinal Foods" published a study that showed holy basil possesses significant detoxifying ability. In the study, researchers gave holy basil leaf extract in doses of 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg and 400 mg per kg body weight to laboratory rats for five days prior to exposure to a toxin. Holy basil dosage of 300 mg per kg protected the rats from liver damage, inhibited the oxidation of lipids and proteins and enhanced the activity of liver-detoxifying enzymes.
Emotional and Mental Benefits of Holy Basil:
Holy Basil has been considered a sacred and extremely beneficial herb in India for thousands of years.In India it is considered to have a pure essence which helps the heart and mind to become more receptive to God. It is said to increase faith, clarity and compassion. It is believed to increase goodness, virtue and joy. Holy Basil is believed to enhance a person’s spiritual growth. Modern uses suggest Holy Basil can enhance cerebral circulation and memory, relieve mental fog and cloudy thinking.
Holy Basil for Weight Loss:

When the body is under stress, it goes into fight-or-flight mode and sends out the signal to hold onto all energy sources, storing the food you take in as fat to protect the body.
