Tulsi is in the mint family, and also called "Holy Basil." It can help gently stimulate the immune system, act as a digestive aid, immune system regulator, and as a nervine to calm the body and invite it to slow down. Tulsi can help those with anxiety, ADD and ADHD, head trauma, and diabetes. It can bring clarity to the mind and has been noted to improve cognitive abilities and short-term memory.

It can relieve gas, a stuck digestive tract, and help with lung complaints. For asthma and bronchial complaints, tulsi can help to reduce the histamine response.

Several studies have shown that tulsi can help those with diabetes as it can help to stabilize blood sugar. Some diabetics were able to successfully lower their fasting blood sugar glucose. It can help to uplift the body and move along "stuck" energy.

It can be used internally and externally to help treat fungal infections and can also help those exposed to radiation, reducing the side effects. Tulsi can help the body adjust to the stressors of life and is useful for mamas and those in a high-stress environment.
