Tulsi (Holy Basil Krishna)

Ocimum tenuiflorum (Krishna variety)

Krishna Tulsi is the bold, purple-stemmed cousin in the sacred Tulsi family. It is deeply aromatic, slightly spicy, and known for its potent adaptogenic properties. In Ayurvedic tradition, Krishna Tulsi is often considered the most therapeutic variety, revered for supporting respiratory health, mental clarity, and resilience in times of stress.

At Sankofa Herbs & Wellness, we turn to Krishna Tulsi when life feels heavy and the nervous system needs a strong yet gentle anchor. This is a heart-centered herb with roots in devotion, protection, and spiritual upliftment.

How to Brew:
Steep 1–2 teaspoons in hot water (just under boiling) for 7–10 minutes. Cover while steeping to preserve the essential oils. Strain and enjoy warm. Can be sipped daily to support overall wellness, emotional balance, and immune strength.

Taste Profile: Earthy, slightly peppery, with a subtle clove-like spice.
