My personal experience:

I found out about this basil well I stumbled on it, while looking for plants to add to my butterfly garden, I purchased two genes, The green Ram Tulsi and Holy, as additions to my herb garden, one day looking for holistic relief for a friend, I found this amazing plant, I read up on it and I decided to test its abilities, so I grabbed 16 leaves of the Ram and of the purple (Holy) PS both are tusli ones green one is purple) and juiced it in my Nija Blender, I added some Kalanchoe and drank the fresh juice. I started feeling the effects quickly, my mood had changed, at that moment I was stressing out about life issues and I felt calm and at peace. Noticing that this was one of its benifits and drank more, and i felt very awesome, but about an hour later, I was very tired and sleepy. It had lowered my blood pressure and my glucose, I needed sugar. I drank a espresso which is a favorite of my and ate food and I felt normal again. but it didn't end there,

My mom is a diabetic and recently told me of her levels of insulin and her stress, and this and that, I told mom go to a health food store and purchase holy basil, it did all these things for me maybe you may benefit for it. She did, good thing mom always listen to my holistic advice.  I called her in the morning and she said ‘ I have not felt better in years’ “this is amazing. I said “I know, she ask if i could sell her the fresh stuff I said I have not yet produced a crop large enough, but my god I am already clearing land just for this herb to sell fresh.  (mom purchased pill forms from a yurdiveric store in New York, Nanuet Route 59, if you live in the area.

We now currently have it fresh for those of you that wish to experience it at  a fresh organic level)
