Slide Title
• Holy basil is an erect, many-branched subshrub, 30–60 cm (12–24 in) tall with
hairy stems. Leaves are green or purple; they are simple, petioled, with an ovate,
up to 5 cm (2.0 in)-long blade which usually has a slightly toothed margin; they are
strongly scented and have a decussate phyllotaxy. The purplish flowers are placed
in close whorls on elongate racemes.
• The three main morphotypes cultivated in India and Nepal are Ram tulsi (the most
common type, with broad bright green leaves that are slightly sweet leaves), the
less common purplish green-leaved (Krishna tulasi) and the rare wild "vana tulsi".
Tulsi is an aromatic perennial plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is native to
the Indian subcontinent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout
the Southeast Asian tropics.

Another name:
holy basil
Tulasi or Tulsi
Origin and distribution:
DNA barcodes of various biogeographical isolates of tulsi from the Indian
subcontinent are now available. In a large-scale phylogeographical study of this
species conducted using chloroplast genome sequences, a group of researchers
from Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, have found that this plant originates
from North-Central India.[5][6] The discovery might suggest the evolution of tulsi is
related with the cultural migratory patterns in the Indian subcontinent.
Chemical composition:
Some of the phytochemical constituents of tulsi are
oleanolic acid
ursolic acid
rosmarinic acid
Eugenol
Carvacrol
Linalool
β-caryophyllene (about 8%).
Tulsi essential oil consists mostly of eugenol (~70%) β-elemene (~11.0%), β-
caryophyllene (~8%) and germacrene (~2%), with the balance being made up of
various trace compounds, mostly terpenes.
Pharmaceutical Uses:
Ayurveda and Siddha
Tulasi (Sanskrit:-Surasa) has been used in Ayurveda and Siddha practices for its
supposed treatment of diseases.[13][14]
Insect repellent
For centuries, the dried leaves have been mixed with stored grains to repel insects.
