Botanical Ingredient
Holy Basil (Tulsi)
Ocimum tenuiflorum
Holy basil — known as tulsi in Ayurvedic tradition — is one of the most revered medicinal herbs in the world. Unlike its culinary cousins, Ocimum tenuiflorum is defined by its adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory profile, driven by ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, and eugenol. Its aroma is distinctly clove-like and slightly peppery, quite different from sweet or Thai basil. In both traditional Indian medicine and modern herbal practice, it is prized for its ability to calm inflammation, protect the skin barrier, and support the body's stress response.

Did You Know
In India, tulsi is considered so sacred it is often planted near temples and home entrances. The Sanskrit word 'tulsi' means 'the incomparable one' — a nod to its unmatched standing in Ayurvedic medicine.
Our Sourcing
Holy basil is grown in InVine's Florida garden, where the warm, humid climate closely mirrors the herb's native South Asian habitat. We harvest leaves just before flowering — when ursolic acid and essential oil content peaks — then dry them gently before a slow infusion in cold-extracted organic oils.
