Heavenly, Healthy ~ Holy
Basil
With so many health
benefits, medicinal uses and ailments remedied it’s no wonder that it is called
Holy!
This miraculous plant
originated in India and quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia. It was widely
cultivated and both the plant and its oil extract utilized for medicinal and religious
purposes ever since.
Holy
Basil is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. Hindus regard it as an earthly
manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of the god Vishnu. The
offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his
forms like Krishna and Vithoba. Many Hindus have tulsi plants growing in front of or near their home,
often in special pots or special small masonry structures. Traditionally, Tulsi
is planted in the center of the central courtyard of Hindu houses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsi_in_Hinduism
But what
is it that makes Holy Basil so special?
So special that Hindus would give it such a distinguished name, “Vishnu”
which means “the incomparable one”? One must look at just some of the many

There is interest in using holy basil seed oil for cancer. Beginning research suggests that the oil can
slow progression and improve survival rate in animals with certain types of
cancer. Researchers think this benefit may be explained by the oil’s ability to
act as an antioxidant.
