Tulsi is called basil in the United States. Aryuvedic medicine and Eastern cultures describe this fragrant plant from the peppermint family as holy basil and/or tulsi. The leaves of the plant are used in various dishes to enhance flavor. However, tulsi extract has been used for centuries for its natural healing properties.
Preventing Cell Damage
Tulsi extract contains vicenin and orientin, which are flavanoids. These flavanoids protect the cells from damage by oxidation.
