Avena Botanicals Holy Basil Glycerite - 1 oz
A full-bodied and delicious-tasting glycerite to support healthy digestion, the immune system, and general vitality. Holy Basil helps open the heart and mind.*
Holy Basil is highly respected in the Ayurvedic system of healing and around the world. This beautiful and aromatic plant strengthens and supports the health of the nervous, immune, respiratory, and endocrine systems. Deeply balancing, Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi, helps to generate vitality and well-being, in part due to its adaptogenic qualities. We love this plant for the way it supports mood and digestion. Holy Basil uplifts the spirit, brings clarity to the mind, balance to the body, and peace to the heart and home.
Many households in southern India tend a Holy Basil plant in their courtyard for divine protection and clearing negativity. This revered herb helps to open the heart and mind, inspire harmony and spiritual clarity, enhance feelings of love and compassion, and guide humans to live more consciously with reverence for all of nature.
Our Holy Basil Glycerite is richly flavored, aromatic, and completely alcohol-free.
Garden Notes: Hundreds of Holy Basil plants grace our Biodynamic gardens. These aromatic plants with delicate pink flowers grow to be lush and bushy and provide an abundance of leaves and flowers for our teas, glycerites, and tinctures. Each week throughout the summer, we hand-gather the fresh flowering tops amidst native bees and honeybees who also appreciate the medicine of this plant. Holy Basil's pungent fragrance uplifts our spirits and the energy of our gardens. We prepare this fresh glycerite (and our tincture) as quickly as possible after gathering. It's truly an honor that Holy Basil has come to the West from India, touching many people's hearts and minds.
