Organic Tulsi Leaf Powder | Basil Powder

Organic Tulsi Leaf Powder is 100% pure holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) — the herb grown in the courtyard of Indian homes for a reason. Tulsi is an adaptogen: it supports the body's response to stress, and is Ayurveda's classic herb for immunity, cough and respiratory comfort.

Note: tulsi (holy basil) is not the same as the sweet basil used in Italian cooking, and not the same plant that gives sabja seeds.

Key Benefits

• Supports immunity — the most common daily use.
• Traditionally used for cough, cold and throat comfort.
• Adaptogenic — supports the body's stress and cortisol response.
• Supports respiratory comfort, particularly in polluted air.
• Supports mental clarity and calm.
• Antioxidant rich.

How to Use

• Tulsi tea: ½ teaspoon steeped in hot water for 5 minutes, with honey. The simplest and best way.
• In chai: add a pinch while brewing.
• Kadha: with ginger, black pepper and honey for cough and cold season.
• Warm water: ½ teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach.

Do not boil hard. Steep rather than boil — tulsi's volatile oils are what you are after and they cook off.

Daily amount: ½ to 1 teaspoon.

Available Sizes

100 g, 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tulsi the same as regular basil?

No. Tulsi is Ocimum sanctum (holy basil), a medicinal herb. Italian basil is Ocimum basilicum, culinary.

Can I take it every day?

Yes — tulsi is traditionally taken daily, often as morning tea.

Does it help with cough?

It is Ayurveda's classic herb for throat and respiratory comfort, usually combined with honey and ginger.

Who should be careful?

Tulsi may have mild blood-thinning and fertility-affecting effects. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, on blood thinners, or due for surgery.

Powder or fresh leaves?

Fresh is lovely if you have a plant. Powder is consistent, available year-round, and easier to dose.
