Tulsi Patta — Dried Holy Basil Leaves & Powder

Choose Natural dried leaf material or Powder in 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 400 g or 900 g packs. This is the Tulsi leaf listing, attributed to Ocimum tenuiflorum L., also known botanically as Ocimum sanctum L. It is not fresh-picked leaves, a live plant, planting seed, essential oil or a standardized extract.

Choose the form and check the material

Natural is dried leafy material; Powder is ground material. The photographs show dried leaf fragments with visible stem pieces, not a verified powder photograph. A stem-free or leaf-only specification and the exact leaf-to-stem ratio are not supplied. Confirm the current batch if your preparation requires a defined leaf-only material.

Botanical identity and names

Kew accepts Ocimum tenuiflorum and lists Ocimum sanctum as a synonym. IISc’s Digital Flora of Eastern Ghats documents the species and regional plant names. These names do not identify this pack as a particular Rama, Krishna or other cultivar; no cultivar guarantee is made. Holy basil is distinct from sweet basil used in recipes.

Ayurvedic and traditional context

The CCRAS ASHA/ANM manual identifies Tulasi/Tulsi as Indian, Holy or Sacred Basil and documents traditional leaf preparations. Its whole-plant entry and fresh-leaf preparations are not a specification or dosage for this dried leaf pack. A traditional reference does not promise a treatment result.

Preparation, precautions and storage

For an infusion, culinary or medicinal preparation, first confirm the actual pack’s intended use and follow the applicable label or preparation instructions. Do not convert a fresh-leaf count directly into a quantity of dried powder. This page prescribes no universal daily dose and makes no guaranteed immunity, blood-sugar, liver, stress, skin or respiratory result.

For pregnancy, breastfeeding, children, regular medicines or medical conditions, ask a qualified Ayurvedic or healthcare professional about suitability before medicinal use. Keep tightly sealed, cool and dry, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon and do not use mouldy or contaminated material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Tulsi leaves called in English?

Tulsi is commonly called Holy Basil, Sacred Basil or Indian Basil. Kew accepts Ocimum tenuiflorum, with Ocimum sanctum as a synonym. These names refer to the plant, not a guarantee of an individual supplier batch.

Is this fresh Tulsi, a live plant or dried material?

This product is Natural dried leaf material or Powder. It is not fresh leaves, a live plant, planting seeds or essential oil. Check weight and form before ordering.

Is Natural Tulsi completely stem-free?

The photographs show leaf fragments with visible stem pieces. No leaf-only specification or fixed leaf-to-stem ratio is provided. Confirm the current batch if your preparation requires a defined leaf-only grade.

Is Tulsi the same as sweet basil or concentrated Holy Basil extract?

No. Sweet basil is a different species, and a standardized extract has a different specification from ground leaf material. No extract strength or particular Tulsi cultivar is asserted here.

Can I make an infusion with these dried leaves?

Confirm the actual pack is suitable for that purpose, then follow its label and the preparation instructions. Dried material differs from fresh leaves; do not copy a fresh-leaf count or fresh juice recipe directly into dried powder.

How many Tulsi leaves or how much powder should I take daily?

There is no universal daily amount for this raw-herb pack. Form, preparation, age, medicines and health conditions matter. Obtain individual qualified guidance for medicinal use instead of converting an internet leaf count into powder weight.

What are Tulsi’s traditional uses and which pack can I buy?

CCRAS documents Tulsi in traditional leaf preparations; this is historical context, not a treatment promise. Natural and Powder each offer 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 400 g and 900 g. Select form and weight for current price and availability.
