Herb Pharm Certified Organic Holy Basil (Tulsi) Extract for Energy and Vitality, 1 Ounce (DBAS01)USDA Organic

I can feel the effects of this immediately when I take it. Like I get a quick rush of feel good hormones and/or energy. I try to remember to take it once a day. I notice I'm in a worse mood when I don't. I got it for inflammation (I have an autoimmune disease). Who knows if it's working for inflammation. I'm doing a lot of things - clean eating, no salt, no alcohol, tumeric, fish oil, etc. Anyhow, I'll continue to take this because maybe it helps with inflammation, and I know for sure it makes me feel good. By the way, don't put this in your mouth without diluting it. I squeeze a dropperful into a shot class or small glass with a splash of water and take it like a shot. It's not terrible this way. Kind of like diluted whiskey. I don't mind it at all.

I'm one of those people who read all the wonderful reviews of that "magic bullet" product that makes a noticeable difference in "fill in the blank". You name it, most supplements that I take do nothing noticeable for me. Not so with this Holy Basil. After a 4 point saliva cortisol test, I learned that my last 2 saliva samples of the day show high cortisol. This explains my bouts of insomnia and jittery feelings I tend to get in the evenings. Often, I'll wake during the night for no apparent reason with a pounding heart and the feeling that I'm going to jump out of my skin. I also startle extremely easily during the day time, more so than I did when I was younger. The increased startle response is not unusual in folks with high cortisol. This holy basil has helped me tremendously, and it didn't take any time to build up in my use of it. Within 20-30 minutes of taking 2 droppers full, I notice that jittery feeling just melts away. I take it as needed, based on how I'm feeling. I don't tend to get a lot of emotional anxiety, just a physiological anxiety like I'm going to pop sometimes. When I start feeling this way, mainly in the late afternoons and evenings, I take the holy basil and feel 100% improved within half an hour. The higher cortisol response tends to worsen during the week before my periods. I know that Holy Basil is supposed to be great for PMS, too, so this is truly a 2 for 1. This is my new favorite supplement

I’m super happy with this product

Great product

A friend told me about the many benefits of holy basil so I thought I would try it. I put it in my tea at night. I look forward to noticing if it makes any difference after a month of use.

I am a huge fan of holy basil (organic only) because it is such a powerful adaptogen like licorice root, ashwaganda & mushrooms are. I absolutely love consuming holy basil in tea form, but I was dying (figuratively) to try it in liquid form too so I could add it to cold drinks like sparkling water or cold, filtered water if I wanted to.After some looking around for an extract form of it on Amazon, I ran into this product and decided to buy it right away because I'm familiar with Herb Pharm as a reputable company and felt I could not go wrong.It's been some time and after finishing the whole bottle, I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat who is health-conscious, looking for energy (natural vs. the jittery type), looking to de-stress and/ or wants to make some amazing tasting hot & cold drinks with it.

This irritates my stomach so I can't take internally but I have found an alternative use! This tincture is wonderful for treating any kind of skin infection! Sometimes I get cystic acne that wants to hang around forever, but when I put a few dabs of this on the site it shortens the lifetime of infection quite a bit. That's how it works for me anyway. It is very dark green but it seems to rub in with very little color apparent. Its great on bug bites too! Good potent stuff and I'm glad I found it!

First of all, I LOVE this company Herb Pharm. I have used a lot of their products and have had nothing but good experiences.I bought this when I was recovering from major dental surgery as Holy Basil is supposed to aid in the fast recovery of oral wounds. There is way too much info to list about how damage to the mouth effects the whole body, but in nutshell (an organic one, lol) the mouth is one pathway to infect the body. With this organic Holy Basil extract not only did I heal quickly, but it also provided natural anti- bacterial properties and antioxidants I needed during my more vulnerable stages of recovery.
