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

Repeat purchase! This works great for me.

Herb Pharm has always been a leader of the industry in standards of quality and ethics. I have been shopping from them for several things for years, including this product. I love Tulsi. It’s a very versatile herb in that it works for most; but I would do my research before trying any herbal supplement. This extract is high quality, as to be expected from Herb Pharm. Tulsi is known to have an adaptogenic calming effect on mood, energy sustain, sleep, etc, all of which this product does for me, and at an affordable price. I put it in my daily morning coffee, which several other extracts and goodies. Customer for life!

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 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.

Just started using it, but I think it has calming effects without making me drowsy I didn’t think the taste was bad at all It reminded me of clove When I researched it, I realized they both have a compound in it called eugenol, which appears to be used in medicines for many other health benefits

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

good product , good company . more expensive then some , but excellent product. so worth it. tastes nasty , is but isnt supposed to taste good.

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!
