Support Eye Health

Your eyes are vulnerable to serious bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases. Because of its anti-inflammatory and relaxing characteristics, holy basil is frequently used in Ayurveda to treat conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. It could also aid in preventing a number of eye conditions, such as cataracts. Topical application of a herbal eye drop mixture combining turmeric and holy basil extracts, according to Dr. S.K. Gupta of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, aids in preventing the production of insoluble proteins and oxidative stress that cause cataracts.

Practitioners of Ayurveda recommend holy basil as a natural headache remedy that can help relieve migraine pain. Research suggests this is due to its ability to relieve inflammation, sinus pressure, and muscular tension by fighting the effects of stress. Try diffusing holy basil essential oil or making tulsi tea to reduce headache symptoms.
