#Holy Basil

Tulsi (aka holy basil) is one of my favorite plants — calming, clarifying, and just plain delicious. This variety, Ocimum africanum (temperate tulsi), doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves, so I’m sharing my top ways to work with it: 🌿 Tulsi Tea – Harvest the flowering tips, dry, and steep for a super tasty hot infusion. I love it with hawthorn leaf & flower. 🌿 Cooling Floral Water – Fresh flowering tips infused in cool water for ~30 mins… unbelievably refreshing on a hot day. 🌿 Infused Oil – My fave for skin! I dry and grind the tips, infuse into jojoba oil — makes a wonderful facial oil (and beard oil, or so I hear). 🌿 Tulsi Pesto – Inspired by my friend @wildrootbotanicals. Yes, tulsi makes amazing pesto! 🌿 Herbal Love Pancakes – From @lucretia.vandyke’s recipe, with fresh tulsi, lemon balm & roses. Pure joy. ✨ Type the keyword LOVE25 to get your copy of the Herbal Love Pancakes recipe! Tulsi is aromatic, grounding, and a delight to grow. Do you use tulsi in your kitchen or apothecary?

Tulsi Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) called the Queen of Herbs and the Mother of Medicine is one of Ayurveda’s most powerful adaptogens. It was traditionally used in ceremony to purify the environment and now studies show that it protects the body from the pollutants while breaking up biofilm in the gut. Holy Basil has been used for centuries to promote immunity, sleep, stress resilience, strength and stamina, and to enhance calm and clarity.

Comment “FILAMENTS” and I’ll send you my sebaceous filaments routine + product recs 💬✨ SEBACEOUS FILAMENTS 101 (and why trying to “remove” them completely is the wrong goal 👀) Let’s talk about those tiny grey / beige dots on your nose, chin or inner cheeks. They’re not blackheads. They’re called sebaceous filaments — and they’re actually a normal part of your skin. • They help guide sebum from your pores to the surface • Everyone has them • They can look more visible if you have oily, dehydrated or textured skin But here’s what most people get wrong👇 ❌ Over-scrubbing ❌ Using harsh actives daily ❌ Trying to “empty” pores This can irritate your barrier → more oil production → filaments look bigger again. What actually helps ⤵️ ✨ Gentle but deep cleansing ✨ Smart exfoliation (not aggression) ✨ Purifying ingredients that support texture + oil balance Product I’ve recently been loving : The Holy Basil Bubble Deep Mask from @p.calm_official . It’s a multi-stage cleanser + mask in one 🫧 Stage 1: Bubble phase Once applied, it starts carbonating and forming micro-bubbles. This helps soften buildup, smooth skin texture and prep pores so actives can work better. ✨ Stage 2: Exfoliation phase One side includes a physical scrub, while the formula also contains PHAs to dissolve congestion deeper inside the pores. 🌿 Stage 3: Purifying clay phase Montmorillonite clay helps detoxify, absorb excess oil and refine the look of pores. Remember, as with everything consistency is key — this isn’t about removing them forever, but keeping pores clear, balanced and smooth over time. #PCALM #amazonfinds #BubbleMaskTrend #KoreanSkincare #glassskin

Do you know the difference? Basil Edition🍃 There are two types of basil that are common in SE Asian cooking and using the correct one makes a difference. 1) Holy basil or Hot Basil (Krapao) 2) Thai Basil (sweet) 🍃🌶The hot Thai basil has a flavor profile that is more peppery, clove like, and a spicy flavor with a kick to it. 🍃🍯The Sweet Thai basil has a more sweet, anise, and licorice flavor profile and more commonly found. A good example of using the correct basil is when making a Thai dish called “Pad Krapao” it literally means stir fried holy basil which is the type of basil that should be used. However, sometimes this basil is hard to find.

This isn’t a trend. It’s a return. You juggle a lot. Home, work, family, emotions—your nervous system is doing overtime. But before stress was something we managed with coffee or scrolling, women turned to something simple and powerful: basil. Across time and culture, basil was more than food—it was medicine. And it still is. Modern science now confirms what grandmothers have always known: basil uplifts mood, calms anxiety, eases overwhelm, and helps you bounce back from stress. ✨ Holy basil (Tulsi) helps lower cortisol and regulate your stress response ✨ Sweet basil supports serotonin and gently lifts your spirits ✨ Aromatic varieties like lemon or cinnamon basil bring clarity and lightness to the mind ✨ All basils soothe the gut—and we all know the gut is the second brain If you’re building a home that heals, stocking your kitchen with herbs that nourish, or reclaiming your emotional well-being without reaching for synthetic solutions—start with basil. Grow it. Brew it. Chop it. Sip it. Let it support you the way it has supported women for centuries. 🛒 Add more basil to your garden, your grocery list, your teapot. 💚 Because your life is full—and you deserve tools that truly care for you. #KitchenMedicine #MoodSupport #HerbsForModernWomen #BuyMoreBasil #TulsiTea #HomeHerbalist #AnxietySupport #WomenWhoHeal

Holy basil: the adaptogen you should know about. Also called Tulsi, this ancient herb is one of the top 3 in Ayurvedic medicine—right up there with ashwagandha and turmeric. ✅ Supports hormone and mood balance ✅ Strengthens the immune system ✅ Helps regulate blood sugar You can sip it as tea, add the leaves to salads, or take it as a supplement. I personally recommend choosing regenerative organic certified—that’s what we grow and use! God’s creation is still the greatest medicine.

Stop wasting your Basil 🌱 Here is how to harvest it correctly so that it keeps on growing 🌿 If you harvest your Basil correctly, it will keep on growing and grow as a little bush giving you plenty of new fresh leaves. I’m showing two examples: 🌱 Harvesting on a small plant 🌿 Harvesting on a more developed plant To have a bushy Basil plant, always harvest above a set of leaves. By repeating this, your Basil won’t grow on one stem only but on several new ones by redirecting its energy. It’s kind of exponential and it works amazing! You may soon end up with loads of Basil, so preserve it to not waste it! 🌿 Preserve in ice cube trays with olive oil 🌿 Make some Basil insfused water 🌿 Dry your Basil Wish you to harvest loads of Basil the whole summer! Green Love to You! 💚 #basil #plantcare #gardeningtips

I will definitely be drinking more of holy basil 🌿 #herbalists #herbalmedicine #holybasil #stress #earthsmedicine
