Although related to the basil we use in cooking, holy basil has different medicinal properties. Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as Ocimum sanctum) is a medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use in India and Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, holy basil was used to treat malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, skin diseases, joint inflammation, painful eye diseases, chronic fever and insect bites. This is probably due to the many active constituents of holy basil, including tannins, phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which are responsible for its antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antispasmodic, analgesic, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and cell-protective activities.
Today, Holy Basil is primarily used as an adaptogen, as it has been shown to induce relaxation, promote a sense of calm and reduce stress and bad moods. It has also been shown to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels in diabetic subjects. Animal studies have shown that it reduces cortisol, the stress hormone.
