Basil (Ocimum sanctum) is also known as the Tulsi herb. Known firstly as an anti-depressant, this herb speaks to the adrenal cortex, which in turn prompts the body to regulate the hormones that are responsible for taking care of stress.

An interesting herb that has some unique uses, such as overcoming jet lag and improving memory.

Other commonly used applications for Basil tea are skin infections, fevers, intestinal parasites, and diarrhea.

Being an anti-inflammatory, this herb can also be useful against arthritis.

Are your teas certified organic?

Up until recently we were certified organic but due to rising administration costs and the difficulty of maintaining certification we've put this on hold for now. Our suppliers and farms remain the same without any change but just now label things are organic, pesticide free or wildcrafted.

This also allows us to maintain our current pricing without any increases which we feel is more important at this time.
