The Many Benefits of Holy Basil
If you're feeling stressed out, there's an herbal remedy that may be able to help. Holy basil, also known as tulsi, is a sacred plant in Ayurveda, the traditional herbal system of India. Holy basil has more recently been shown to possess powerful adaptogenic properties with the ability to enhance the body's healthy response to normal daily life stress.* In addition, scientific studies have demonstrated that Holy Basil may support healthy carbohydrate metabolism and normal glucose management.* Here are some of the ways holy basil can help reduce stress and improve your overall health.
Reduces Cortisol Levels
Cortisol is often referred to as the "stress hormone" because it's released in response to stress. However, cortisol also plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and inflammation. When cortisol levels are chronically elevated, it can lead to a number of health problems including weight gain, anxiety, and even depression. Fortunately, holy basil has been shown to help reduce cortisol levels.*
Improves Sleep Quality
If you're struggling with insomnia or other sleep disorders, holy basil may be able to help. A study published in Phyto therapy Research found that holy basil helped improve sleep quality in people with insomnia.* The study participants took 500 mg of holy basil extract twice per day for eight weeks. At the end of the study period, the participants reported significant improvements in sleep quality as well as reductions in fatigue and daytime sleepiness.
Reduces Inflammation
Inflammation is a normal immune response that helps protect the body from infection and injury. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to a number of health problems including heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Holy basil has been shown to help reduce inflammation.* One study found that holy basil was just as effective as ibuprofen at reducing inflammation.* Another study found that holy basil extract was able to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines.*
Conclusion:
Holy basil is an incredible herb with numerous health benefits. If you're struggling with stress or other health issues, holy basil may be worth trying.
