Sacred or Tulsi basil is highly valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its immune-enhancing, anti-fungal, and antibacterial qualities. It is commonly used as a tea and is known for its sweet anise-flavored leaves and flowers. Unlike other varieties of basil, this plant is highly resilient and can thrive under conditions that are hotter, shadier, or drier. As such, it is an ideal choice for those looking to grow a hardy and versatile herb in their garden. In addition to its practical uses, this plant has a rich cultural significance and has traditionally been planted at the entrances to homes, releasing a pleasant scent as people walk by and blessing the household. Sacred basil is a valuable addition to any garden, offering both practical and aesthetic benefits.
