Drinking some holy basil as I watch this video. So amazing for stress relief!

[@Meatherxc]

I love holy basil it helps me so much with anxiety. I have never found anything that helps me as much as it does. I started growing it about 3 years ago and I just love it so much!

[@greenthumb8170]

I just started growing it as well and battle anxiety and depression. I love the flavor. I plan on trying it in tea, milk putting directly in my drinking water. Any tips or suggestions?

[@Meatherxc]

@@greenthumb8170 I would say use the teas daily if you are generally stressed but as needed if you just have harded days then others

Yes I bye most of my seeds from Richo and Temperate Tulsi is very good and the smell is very satisfying. Been drinking Holy Basil for years and its amazing how it regulates and keeps you young.

You are amazing gift to humanity blessings to you beautiful soul 💖

I've only just recently learnt how amazingly beneficial to the health this little plant can be. It is definitely an important plant, I agree. Thanks again.

My second video watched and I’m in love with this channel.

1HG yes this guy is outstanding ; this is really an excellent channel .

It is now wild in my yard. Some have cross pollinated between the green and the purple that is more variegated. Every time I am in the garden I inadvertently brush against it and the fragrance makes me pause for a moment.

[@TruthAndLight4995]

Thankful I have this growing during this Covid-19 pandemic. I eat a few leaves from my plants every day. Great adaptogen. Makes me feel calm.

[@gardensofthegods]

Vera , I think you meant ADAPATAGEN , not adaptation . How often do you use it .... do you make a tea out of it ? I've known about Tulsi for years from the Indian Grocers but only just bought some recently and only have taken it several times in powder form . No doubt fresher is better and I'm sure you're probably drinking the tea ?

[@TruthAndLight4995]

@@gardensofthegods Thanks. I have now corrected to the correct spelling: ADAPTOGEN. Yes, I also make a "tea" with the leaves: fresh or dried. The plants are easy to grow.

[@finalfantasy3273]

Greetings from the Philippines! Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge to us. I see you have a lot of herbal plants. I love using herbal medicine and I'm depending on it. The plants holy basil I'm using it always when I'm cooking boild vegetables. I like the smell. When I'm not feeling well I always make some tea out of it. I wish I'm near in your place so I can help you clean up the unwanted shrubs in your garden.

[@lottypunter-bradshaw1232]

Wonderful! Charming and informative.

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

One of the two best pollinator attractors for growing vegetables along with Lavender. Bees see the purple colour as a a rich black colour and they can spot it from the air from a long distance. So if you want more pollinators in your garden plant this. The leaves are Rubbish for a traditional Basil type pesto but the leaves dried and chopped up are extremely aromatic and marvellous to add to Tomato type dishes etc.

[@michellemarie123]

Great information. I love the smell of this, and enjoy the tea very much.

[@1Lightdancer]

I have been using mine in tea as well, along with Yomoji (Artemisia) lemon verbena and several other herbs

[@lobsangdhiman6729]

Tienes las tres albahacas sagradas?

[@WTFuzzzz]

I was going to say that this one is Rama tulsi while krishna tulsi is more potent right when you mentioned it. And yes it's tricky to grow Krishna tulsi even in India too. And tulsi along with amla and raw honey is like a super food. Tulsi Giloy, Alovera and Amla are a must have plant.

Hi I was wondering if you have any experience with Ocimum Sanctum hybridizing with other basils?

[@michaelmonaghan9226]

strictly Medicinal seeds, also have your Jiao gu lan from strictly medicinal and Richo said he got Jiao gu lan from you Joe. Thank you Joe

[@zilyindarga]

Hi, this is very interesting, this ocimum is not the one used in India and in Ashrams and is not considered as "adaptogen"...the one on the video doesn't have much eugenol in it, that is why it smells like strawberry and has pink flowers..Tulsi doesn't smell like strawberry at all. Rama and Krishna are wild under tropics. We have green Tulsi, the Rama, and the red Tulsi the more common in Ashrams and temples..The one here is a cultivar between ocimum americanum and ocimum kilimandscharicum...i know it's confusing. Vana is not considered as a Tulsi in India with more than 75% of eugenol. If you would like pictures we have them all here in Reunion Island. Kindly.

Could you tell us what zone you are in please? I have a holy basil plant this year and would love to save it (as a perennial) but have no greenhouse no proper windows...so I'm not sure how I can keep it alive during the fall-spring. Would it last without much light just in a laundry room perhaps? Am in zone 8. thanks

[@blueskies773]

Beautiful!! You have such a wizard vibe to this video. I have a question about Holy Basil. My tea says it has Rama, Vana and Krishna leaf. Is it a common side effect for the tea to cause hallucogenic experiences? I made a cup as suggested: 200* steeped 10 minutes. Although it may have been up to 20 minutes that I left it (I got distracted). Since it was steeped longer, I only drank 1/3 of it (I’m petite). About an hour later my body was heavy calm, heart rate normal, mind anxious that my body was calm, and then I witnessed almost in a ghost fashion the silhouette of a person sitting on my bed. Before bed I felt my nerves soothing on my back and had some sinus improvement. I had a nightmare this morning I was not waking up from. Suddenly I felt a tickle on my belly and I shot awake, and then I saw the Silhouette of a woman walking away from me on my left side. Nothing I read on holy basil speaks to my experience and Im uncertain if I should continue this tea. Maybe I’ll steep it for half the time the box suggests (5 minutes) what are your thoughts, pray tell?

[@tylerk.7947]

No that’s not a common side effect! And the steeping time shouldn’t affect that. Perhaps tulsi caused that or perhaps it didn’t. Try a smaller dose. If it doesn’t feel right for you then trust your instinct.

I believe you saw an apparition of the woman who wrote the book, guru, Ammachi (or Amma), the "hugging saint."

There was a big mix up in this Temperate Tulsi and Richo then had it tested to identify this plant and it is actually (Ocimum Africanum) This Plant is from Africa and I like it the best growing it in raised beds.

[@zilyindarga]

Africanum has white flowers it's easy to recognize it has small and round leaves and smell like camphor. The one here with pink flowers is a cultivar, a mix of ocimum americanum and africanum. Sanctum or Tulsi are very different

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Thanks or the video! Is this a perennial (in the sense that it keeps re-seeding itself, and is that what you mean by self-sewn), and can you grow this in growing zone 5? I ask because i would love to grow some on my land. Also can you use this variety just like you would use regular basil? Thanks!

You could use holy basil in cooking, but regular basil can't be used in place of holy basil for medicine. Easy to grow.

Is holy basil bad for the thyroid ? Please help 🙏🙏

[@gardensofthegods]

If you're having thyroid problems I saw some videos recently about ayurvedic healers for thyroid ... I can't quite remember what they were called something like Chananda Guggulu ... if you Google ayurvedic treatment for thyroid it should come up and then you'll see some products and you can research them ...

[@gardensofthegods]

Okay this time it's stuck so what I had also wanted to tell you about that is I don't know if that site was only for hypothyroidism or both types ... and but they have been using these healing herbs literally for thousands of years .
