Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) This is one of those plants that is so beneficial and versatile, you’ll always want to keep it with you. . .... In India, Holy Basil is revered as the most sacred plant, next to the Lotus. A powerful and widely used Ayurvedic remedy, it rejuvenates the core vital essence, the ojas, the most treasured wellspring of life force in the body. . . A popular adaptogen, Holy Basil supports resilience to the stresses of life by strengthening, nourishing and calming the mind and body. It enkindles the agni, or digestive fire, warming the core to support optimal digestive function. . . On the physiological level, Holy Basil is a tonic for the brain and heart, though spiritually it opens the heart and mind, bestowing the energy of love and devotion... it strengthens faith, compassion and clarity. Holy Basil gives the protection of the divine by clearing the aura and strengthening the immune system. (-Dr. Vasant Lad) . . Holy Basil increases prana, or life force, supporting clarity of the mind and acuity of the senses, hence it is a wonderful ally for yoga or pranayama practice. . . Holy Basil has a specific affinity for the soul, encouraging the clear and shimmering expression of your innermost self. It is used to reclaim the fragmented or lost parts of one’s soul who has experienced trauma, gathering all parts of the self back into wholeness, balance and beauty. See more
