User Reviews for holy basil

I bought the Tulsi Sweet rose tea to help me relax at night before bed but it had the opposite effect of keeping me up all night. So now I drink it during the day to give me energy. I have felt warm after drinking it others mention in their reviews. I will continue to drink it to see if it helps with anxiety and mood, but not at night.

Works for me,easy drinking the tea,satisfactory. felt groggy awhile but I feel it overall helps to substitute coffee and relieve anxieties while boosting my moods and altogether eliminating bloating this is drinking a cup or two at night and the next morning I'm sure the overall energizing effect will follow this new groggy feeling as i with draw from coffee.

NICE ALTERNATIVE TO ALCHOL OR MARAJUANA

Its awesome. Sharon

Began to feel anxiety as a symptom of menopause. Began using the Holy Basil twice daily after meals. Within a couple of weeks the anxiety went away. Felt so level emotionally, even under stressful situations. I use it in a formula by Gaia both drops and in Adrenal Health.

I started using Holy Basil about a week ago. I recently lost my mother and was severely depressed and on top of that, I am going through menopause. I started putting on weight, my anxiety level was through the roof and I had no sex drive, at all. In only 1 week I feel calm, I've lost 2 pounds (of course I am watching what I'm eating and exercising) and my sex drive it back! Try it, you'll like it!

Dr.Oz said lose inches from belly without changing diet. 1000 mg a day. He said it will lower stress levels. I stared last thanksgiving and soon I heard myself humming? I was feeling happy? I am a long time intractable pain person. I was measuring my belly and after months of 50 inches I found 49. I didn't lose weight, where did it go. Then then last month I weighed and lost 9#s. When I first looked this up people kept saying they felt happy and I do too. I am telling every body I meet about this. I am still in pain but I feel Happy.Read More Read Less

I was introduced to Holy Basil by my acupuncturist. She recommended it for my depression. I was skeptical as I had tried other herbs before without much success. Two weeks later I was feeling much better. I ran out for 4 days and my mood plummeted. I was once again sobbing in the shower and pulling screaming mimi's. Three days back on and I felt much better again. It is as effective for me as any antidepressant I have tried. I will simply make sure to never run out agin!

I drink the tulsi holy basic tea during times of increased demand at home and work. It seems to help me feel calm and able to manage tasks without feeling the stress that I normally would. I use it during those weeks when there is just too much going on. It seems to help during real-time stress.

i used it with honey and a dash of cinnamon to get used to the taste

MY asthma and allergies have been getting the better of me lately after a long hiatus. I live in the Central Valley of CA. Got some Holy Basil pills from the Indian market and after about five days of taking the directed dose had a reaction! I don't know if it was fillers in the pills or the Holy Basil itself, but sometimes people who have a lot of allergies should be cautious when taking something new. I'm happy to have tried it and to know that others benefit, but I did not. I will try something else that is herbal in nature though, since allopathic medications can cause intolerance reactions too. Bless everyone who is benefitting from this!Read More Read Less

I heard it helps in weight loss

I use this as needed for anxiety, it calms me down, is also very mild, no adverse reactions from it at all. It lets me function.

I have suffered from chronic bronchitis every spring, triggered by allergy, for several years and getting worse each year. Since February (I live in South California) I was severely congested in the chest and it was very difficult to cough our the thick mucus. Mucinex helped to dilute the mucus but it upset my stomach. I was also using Flonaise and Symbicort everyday since February. I was also almost constantly taking Halls cough drops. Coughing and congestion also kept me from sleeping at night. All the medication also made my mouth very dry. I got on the internet to find anything that might help and decided to get holy basil capsules (by Himalaya), astragalus capsules, snd Yin-chiao Immune Drops. I got all three on April 11th and started taking them right away. I felt much better with my congestion after only two days. Mucus came out easily. I immediately totally stopped using all the other medication. It's been six days from when I started with Holy Basil, Astragalus, and Yin-chiao, and I have been feeling wonderful. I still have allergy but no heavy chest congestion or severe coughing. I also sleep well. I don't know which of the three herbs is more effective for my bronchitis, but I will continue to take all three. I have not suffered any side effects either, no upset stomach and my dry mouth is improving.Read More Read Less

I tried holy basil to help me sleep which it did, but it also completely calmed my whole body down. No anxiety now, stopped feeling on the edge with my kids and no more yelling. I feel like my old self again and totally at peace....all because of the holy basil!!!!

Very easy to take, my blood sugar level greatly lowered after a week of taking holy basil. I'm very well pleased with how well it works for my level 2 diabetes.

I have chronic general and performance anxiety, which was effecting my social and professional life to a large extent. I have not taken any prescription medicines knowing well the side effects, except for occasional use of beta blockers during social events and official presentations. I have tried homoeopathy and other alternate medicines to no effect whatsoever. I took Holy Basil not for the intention to reduce my anxiety but for a digestive problem I had, but this had a interesting side effect. Holy Basil worked like a miracle in reduced my social and performance anxiety. I think it works in multiple way, by supporting the adrenal, respiratory and digestive systems, which are the basis things which gets compromised during stress and anxiety.Now I have started using Holy Basil every day. Overall it has changed my life and it is like I am reborn again. The best part is you can take this as a herbal tea and have it as many times as you want, through out the day without any side effects. Read More Read Less
