\n the benefit of a relaxed nervous system is typically noticed within 20 minutes of a serving. if you don't feel the acute effects of nervous system relaxation, be consistent with a daily routine for the entire bottle. we honor an unconditional return policy on all product for a year, regardless if it’s opened or not, so give this product a full chance to deliver results.\n

\ndaily routine.
the anxiety tincture should be taken consistently to build cumulative balance or “holistic momentum” toward lowered baseline tension and stress. most clients find success with 2x-3x full droppers 2x-3x daily. the first serving is typically taken mid-morning and the second is taken shortly after lunch. for people who carry high tension into the evening, a third serving should be taken in the early evening.
we don't recommend taking first thing in the morning. a cortisol increase when you first wake up is important for setting the circadian rhythm. let your mind and body “boot up” first thing and take the anxiety tincture at the end of your morning routine (ideally no earlier than 1 hr after waking up).
\ntaking as needed.
for some clients, the anxiety tincture is more calming than they want on a daily basis. these clients keep anxiety tinctures on hand only for exceptionally high-stress days. if you’re using the anxiety tincture only when you feel manifestations high-tension stress ramping up, take 3x-5x full droppers to calm your mind - body and keep you out of deeper states of tension. nervous system relaxation takes approx 20 min after serving. if high-tension stress isn’t smoothing out after 20 min, take another 2x full droppers. it’s not recommended to exceed 8x droppers in a 12hr period. if you’re using the anxiety tincture “as needed”, we highly recommend that you implement a daily adaptogen routine to strengthen resilience in your stress pathways. the goal is to reduce the frequency and intensity of high tension stress and you really need consistency to accomplish this. we recommend taking the ashwagandha tincture 2x daily (morning and afternoon) as a daily adaptogen and using the anxiety tincture as needed when you feel high tension stress ramping up.

all adaptogens have the same core benefit. they help calm your body's response to stressors. this strengthens the mind and body's resilience when dealing with stressors. at the core, the benefits of lowered stress response is.
\n- more resources to digestion and nutrient absorption. - more resources to detoxification . - more resources to immune system function. - more resources to growth and repair processes. - circadian rhythm balanced. better sleep quality - adrenals perform more efficiently. - brainwaves shift to a more analytical state. less reactive. - inflammation levels balance. \n
\n
ashwagandha is one of the most popular adaptogens because it's so well rounded and powerful in it's adaptogenic properties. some adaptogens are more stimulating like eleuthero and some are more calming like holy basil. ashwagandha is in the middle. its both calming and energizing, making ashwagandha one of the most balanced adaptogens. this is why it makes a great base for your herbal routine. you can introduce additional herbs to your ashwagandha to fine tune the effects.

\n
super basic intro to stress.
\n
when you experience an internal or external stressor, the fight or flight response is activated to help take action against a perceived threat. most often, there is no immediate threat when this system is activated, but stress hormone is released anyways. stress response (fight or flight) is a primal system that has not updated or adapted fast enough to keep up with the rapidly changing environment we live in. instead, stress hormone is released to prepare the mind-body for fight or flight, even when you're faced with a non life threatening situation like an unexpected large phone bill.

ashwagandha + caffeine
\n
another great way to use our ashwagandha tincture is by adding 2-3 droppers full into your cup of morning coffee! coffee is a source of natural caffeine that gives you energy and stimulation to start the day, but it can also cause unwanted inflammation and overstimulation of your adrenals. this can cause increase in stress and cortisol adding 2-3 droppers of ashwagandha to your coffee helps smooth out the caffeine experience by lowering cortisol, protecting adrenals and allowing for more clear minded focus.
\n
while coffee contains a lot of nutrients, like alkaloids and antioxidants that can benefit your health, the stimulation on the adrenal glands activates the bodies fight or flight response. Over time this can lead to a burnout on the adrenals, causing what is recently referred to as ‘adrenal fatigue’. Ashwagandha as an anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic herb can counteract those unwanted effects on the body by helping to maintain homeostasis while providing mood and energy support.

Holy Basil Latin name: Ocimum sanctum Common names: Tulsi, Tulasi, Holy Basil, The Queen of Herbs Parts used: Leaves, flowers
\n
\n
Therapeutic Potential of Ocimum sanctum
\n
It’s considered to be an adaptogen, which is a specialized class of herbs known to help the body adapt to stress and balance different processes in the body. Believed to promote longevity, holy basil extracts are used in Ayurvedic remedies for common colds, headaches, inflammation, stomach disorders, and different forms of poisoning or infection.
\n
It’s believed that many of the physiological benefits in Holy Basil are attributed in its ability to help the body maintain homeostasis as well as protection of the body from toxin-induced damage. These functions are also commonly attributed to its high content of phenolic compounds and anti-oxidant properties. Studies have even shown that Holy Basil protects against toxic-chemical-induced injuries by increasing the body’s levels of antioxidant molecules and enzymes. It also helps reduce DNA damage and induce apoptosis in precancerous as well as cancerous cells which results in a reduction of growth of experimental tumors. holy basil can protect against damage caused by toxic compounds by enhancing the activity of liver detoxification enzymes.
\n
A study published in 2017 by the School of Health Sciences, RMIT University in Victoria, Australia study mentioned previously also states that the chemical composition of Holy Basil is incredibly complex and contains many nutrients as well as other biologically active compounds.
\n
They state that the quantity of many of the constituents that are present in the plant can be significantly affected by different growing, harvesting, processing and storage conditions.
\n
Furthermore, it was stated that the overall effects of Holy Basil cannot be effectively duplicated with isolates due to its inherent botanical and biochemical complexity. Holy Basil standardization has, so far, eluded modern science.
\n
Regarding the research of medicinal effect, the 2017 study mentions that there is mounting confirmation that holy basil can address physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress.
\n
One way that is has been found to combat stress is by protecting organs and tissues against chemical stress induced from industrial pollution as well as heavy metals.
\n
In relation to physical stress, a 2004 study conducted by School of Life Sciences, Devi Ahilya University, India, male mice were used as subjects that demonstrated the lowering of serum concentrations of cortisol and glucose with the use of a Holy Basil extract.
\n
After the extract was administered, an anti-peroxidative effect was observed. This suggested a potential regulation of corticosteroid-induced diabetes.
\n
Its thought that if this effect is correlative in humans that it could offer relief to patients experiencing adverse side effects from corticosteroids and even provide benefit to patients whose blood sugar regulation is compromised from the upregulation of serum cortisol.
\n
If this effect is found in humans, it could benefit patients who experience adverse side effects from the use of corticosteroids.
\n
A 2005 study examined the use of Ocimum sanctum to help the subjects better withstand the stress of chronic exposure to noise. The study used albino rats that were pretreated with an ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves for seven days. These rats were then exposed to noise at the frequency of 10 kHz and a sound level of 100 dB. This pre-treatment prevented noise-induced changes in acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase activity in the cerebral cortex, corpus striatum, hypothalamus, and hippocampus.
\n
Alongside its anti-stress effects, it has been proven that Holy Basil contains radioprotective properties by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative damage induced from radiation. In animal experiments, it was shown to enhance post radiation survival and reduce organ damage.
\n
Research from a 2007 study published by Evidence-based Complementary & Alternative Medicine has also shown that holy basil has strong anti-bacterial, an anti-viral and anti-fungal activity that can fight against several bacterias responsible for the infection. It’s been shown to boost immune response in both animals and healthy humans.
\n
It has a special combination of healing properties as well as an analgesic effect that makes it superb in regards to wound healing.
\n
They conclude their research by stating that,
\n
“the results suggest that O. sanctum has antioxidant properties, which may be responsible and favorable for faster wound healing and this plant extract may be useful in the management of abnormal healing and hypertrophic scars.”
\n
Using Holy Basil
\n
With the information just presented it is safe to say that one can use Holy basil orally for its many properties and like any adaptogen, best results are achieved when used consistently and over a prolonged period of time. Holy basil is manufactured to be used in several different forms like powder, capsules, tinctures, and salves. As mentioned, it can be administered orally to achieve the myriad of health benefits and it can also be used topically on irritations or infections such as cuts, burns, scrapes, and even rashes.
\n
History & Origin
\n
Ocimum sanctum or more commonly known as Holy Basil or Tulsi is a widely used adaptogen that is native to the Indian subcontinent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the Southeast Asian tropics.
\n
It is used famously in the ancient Indian medicine system, Ayurveda today and dating back thousands of years.
\n
It’s even referred to as ‘The Queen of Herbs’ or the ‘Incomparable one’ in India and is known to be one of the holiest of the healing herbs that natives utilize. To this day, it’s still consistently used in religious and spiritual ceremonies and regarded as an ‘elixr of life’.
\n
Calling an herb an elixir of life is certainly a bold and broad statement but this herb also has science on its side, backing up this claim in several in vitro and in vivo studies that have been conducted.
\n
In Hinduism, Holy basil is worshipped as a goddess and every part of the plant is utilized and considered to be sacred, including the leaves, stems, flowers, roots, seeds, and oil. Even the surrounding soil is considered as divine and has just been found to contain beneficial endophytic fungi. (1)
\n
Furthermore, in Hindi households, the holy basil plant is often considered to be a necessity that serves both practical and ceremonial purpose.
\n
It’s integrated into their daily lives through rituals and spiritual practice that entails ingesting the leaves by consuming as a tea.
\n
In addition to ingesting the herb, its wood and seeds are also used to make mala necklaces that are used during meditation practices.
\n
Holy Basil has even been used in cities to help maintain air pollution as it contains anti-pollutant, anti-oxidant, and air purifying properties. This herb was planted in massive amounts all around the Taj Mahal in Agra to protect the iconic marble building from environmental pollution damage.

A 2005 study examined the use of Ocimum sanctum to help the subjects better withstand the stress of chronic exposure to noise. The study used albino rats that were pretreated with an ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves for seven days. These rats were then exposed to noise at the frequency of 10 kHz and a sound level of 100 dB. This pre-treatment prevented noise-induced changes in acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase activity in the cerebral cortex, corpus striatum, hypothalamus, and hippocampus.
\n
Alongside its anti-stress effects, it has been proven that Holy Basil contains radioprotective properties by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative damage induced from radiation. In animal experiments, it was shown to enhance post radiation survival and reduce organ damage.
\n
Research from a 2007 study published by Evidence-based Complementary & Alternative Medicine has also shown that holy basil has strong anti-bacterial, an anti-viral and anti-fungal activity that can fight against several bacterias responsible for the infection. It’s been shown to boost immune response in both animals and healthy humans.
\n
It has a special combination of healing properties as well as an analgesic effect that makes it superb in regards to wound healing.
\n
They conclude their research by stating that,
\n
“the results suggest that O. sanctum has antioxidant properties, which may be responsible and favorable for faster wound healing and this plant extract may be useful in the management of abnormal healing and hypertrophic scars.”
\n
Using Holy Basil
\n
With the information just presented it is safe to say that one can use Holy basil orally for its many properties and like any adaptogen, best results are achieved when used consistently and over a prolonged period of time. Holy basil is manufactured to be used in several different forms like powder, capsules, tinctures, and salves. As mentioned, it can be administered orally to achieve the myriad of health benefits and it can also be used topically on irritations or infections such as cuts, burns, scrapes, and even rashes.
\n
History & Origin
\n
Ocimum sanctum or more commonly known as Holy Basil or Tulsi is a widely used adaptogen that is native to the Indian subcontinent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the Southeast Asian tropics.
\n
It is used famously in the ancient Indian medicine system, Ayurveda today and dating back thousands of years.
\n
It’s even referred to as ‘The Queen of Herbs’ or the ‘Incomparable one’ in India and is known to be one of the holiest of the healing herbs that natives utilize. To this day, it’s still consistently used in religious and spiritual ceremonies and regarded as an ‘elixr of life’.
\n
Calling an herb an elixir of life is certainly a bold and broad statement but this herb also has science on its side, backing up this claim in several in vitro and in vivo studies that have been conducted.
\n
In Hinduism, Holy basil is worshipped as a goddess and every part of the plant is utilized and considered to be sacred, including the leaves, stems, flowers, roots, seeds, and oil. Even the surrounding soil is considered as divine and has just been found to contain beneficial endophytic fungi. (1)
\n
Furthermore, in Hindi households, the holy basil plant is often considered to be a necessity that serves both practical and ceremonial purpose.
\n
It’s integrated into their daily lives through rituals and spiritual practice that entails ingesting the leaves by consuming as a tea.
\n
In addition to ingesting the herb, its wood and seeds are also used to make mala necklaces that are used during meditation practices.
\n
Holy Basil has even been used in cities to help maintain air pollution as it contains anti-pollutant, anti-oxidant, and air purifying properties. This herb was planted in massive amounts all around the Taj Mahal in Agra to protect the iconic marble building from environmental pollution damage.
\n
\n
double extraction. tripple filtered.
\n
The first extraction is 45 days of high quality, certified organic cane alcohol extraction (ethanol). After the herbs are strained, they are extracted a second time for 45 minutes at a low temperature (140deg F) with reverse osmosis water. The two extractions are combined and held at 140deg F for 10 minutes to flash a percentage of ethanol to maintain potency. The purpose of a double extraction is pulling both ethanol and water soluble nutrients from each herbal blend into solution. A double extraction does not dilute the strength of a tincture if done properly. A double extraction will only add to the complexity and overall quality of the tincture.

latent infections are bacterial, viral, or fungal pathogens that evade the immune system by hiding in biofilms, joints and organs throughout the body. almost everyone has one or more of these infections that may not cause obvious symptoms but contribute to elevated baseline inflamamtion and brain fog while draining energy and weakening immune system. latent infections are opportunistic and \"flare up\" to infecious levels when the mind-body is under stress.
\n
we believe targeting these hidden infections through periodic supplementation with natural remedies like garlic, ginger, echinacea, and goldenseal is a fundamental approach to improiving health. These herbs act as natural antibiotics, working to clear latent pathogens, support the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
\n
periodically using the roots-biotic tincture can help clear latent infections to help improve energy, mental clarity, baseline inflammaiton and immune function. the roots biotic tincture is a great product to run alongside any health, wellness or performance protocol.
RootsBiotic works best when taking 5ml @ 2x daily. this means 5 full droppers 2x daily. at this serving size, a 120ml bottle will last 12 days. being consistent and using the entire bottle in that 12 day period will keep pressure on the latent infections and bust up their biofilm hiding spots.
\n
FOR BEST RESULTS. consider the following suggestions.
\n
FIRST TIME USING: running 2x bottles back-to-back for 24 consecutive days @ 5ml 2x daily will do a lot of work to bust up biofilms that have been building for who knows how long, exposing bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens to a powerful RootsBiotic and a strengthened immune system. if you have significant biofilms and latent infections, you may experience a \"crappy\" feeling like hot-cold cycling and fatigue during your first bottle. dying bacterial and fungal cultures break down and release toxins that can make you feel run down. this is a part of the process and is inevitable if you want to clean your body up. usually, this is just an annoyance and should not prevent you from going about daily life.
\n
quarterly or biannual maintenance protocols are a valuable consideration after your first protocol to prevent the accumulation of biofilms and support a strong immune system that is not burdened by pathogenic hidey holes.

BUSTING UP BIOFILMS. \n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
everyone has biofilms throughout the body. you most commonly hear about biofilms when people are talkign about dysbiosis and candida cultures in the intensines, but biofilms harbor all kinds of viral, bacterial and fungal pathoges and can be found throught the body. busting up biofilms takes away hiding spots for bacteria, viruses and fungal infections, making them visable and accessable to the immune system. rootsbiotic is formualted to break up biofilms, kill the hiding pathoges and strengthen the immune system's response to lower level infections. a three-piece combo.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Biofilms are structured communities of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, or even viruses) that adhere to a surface and produce a slimy, protective matrix made primarily of polysaccharides (sugars), proteins. Biofilms act as a shield, protecting the microorganisms from external threats like the immune system and antibiotics.
\n
biofilms play a major role in helping pathogens persist in the body without for a long time. When bacteria form biofilms, they can enter a dormant or low-metabolic state, which makes them harder to detect and attack by the immune system. The dense matrix of the biofilm physically blocks immune cells and antibodies from reaching the pathogens. It also limits the penetration of antibiotics, making the bacteria within biofilms highly resistant to treatment. this is literally a \"hang out\" spot for pathogens to sit and replicate comfortably. like a rat that lives and breeds in the walls without concern for a cat attack.
\n
Pathogens within biofilms are able to hide from the immune system, often evading detection because they are less active and their outer environment prevents immune cells from recognizing them as threats. As a result, infections can remain latent (inactive) for extended periods, only reactivating when the environment becomes favorable for the pathogens to grow again (weakened immune system, high stress, sleep deprived, etc). This makes biofilms a major challenge in treating chronic infections.

when addressing latent infections, you should be interested in strengthening synergistic micro-biome. a diverse biome is majorly beneficial to all physical and metal health. a strong synergistic biome directly contributs to positive health outccomes like mood stability, more energy, balanced neurochemistry, nutrient uptake and lowered inflamamtion. a strong synergistic biome also prevents damaging pathogens from culturing to a damaging strength. because of this, we recommend a well rounded pro-biotic and pre-biotic supplement after takign the roots biotic to help build a stronger synergistic biome after the roots biotic wekened the damaging pathogens. this can signicantly tip the scales in favor of better health and performance.

GARLIC & GINGER
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The combination of Garlic and Ginger offers a powerful, synergistic approach to managing latent infections and enhancing immune system function. Both herbs have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, making them effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including those that can remain dormant in the body. Garlic’s allicin and ginger’s gingerol and shogaol work together to inhibit pathogen growth and disrupt biofilms, which bacteria use to hide from the immune system. This combined antimicrobial action is more effective than using either herb alone, particularly in tackling persistent and resistant infections.
\n
In addition to their antimicrobial properties, garlic and ginger both have strong anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. They reduce chronic inflammation, which is often associated with latent infections, and help regulate the immune system, enhancing both innate and adaptive responses. By strengthening the body’s defenses and reducing inflammation, garlic and ginger prevent latent infections from reactivating, while also promoting overall immune intelligence. The antioxidant properties of both herbs further protect the body from oxidative stress, helping to maintain long-term health and resilience against infection.

ECHINACEA & GOLDENSEAL
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Echinacea is known for its ability to boost immune function by stimulating the production of white blood cells like macrophages and natural killer cells, which help the body detect and eliminate latent pathogens. It is particularly effective in enhancing immune surveillance, ensuring the body stays alert to infections that might otherwise remain dormant. Echinacea’s antiviral properties complement its immune-boosting effects, making it a strong ally in preventing the reactivation of latent viral infections.
\n
Goldenseal, on the other hand, has potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potential due to its active compound, berberine. It is highly effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and parasites, especially in disrupting biofilms, which are protective structures that bacteria use to hide from the immune system. Additionally, Goldenseal’s anti-inflammatory properties help regulate the immune response, reducing the chronic inflammation associated with latent infections while preventing reactivation.
\n
Together, Echinacea and Goldenseal create a balanced and synergistic approach to managing latent infections. Echinacea strengthens the immune system’s ability to detect and respond to pathogens, while Goldenseal directly targets and eliminates lingering bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This combination also reduces inflammation and provides antioxidant protection, making it a well rounded option for long-term immune health and infection management.

Double Extraction
\n
The first extraction is 42 days of high quality, certified organic cane alcohol extraction (ethanol). After the herbs are strained, they are extracted a second time for 45 minutes at a low temperature (140deg F) with reverse osmosis water. The two extractions are combines and held at 140deg F for 10 minutes to flash a percentage of ethanol to maintain potency. The purpose of a double extraction is pulling both ethanol and water soluble nutrients from each herbal blend into solution. A double extraction does not dilute the strength of a tincture if done properly. A double extraction will only add to the complexity and overall quality of the tincture.

Holy Basil Latin name: Ocimum sanctum Common names: Tulsi, Tulasi, Holy Basil, The Queen of Herbs Parts used: Leaves, flowers
Therapeutic Potential of Ocimum sanctum
It’s considered to be an adaptogen, which is a specialized class of herbs known to help the body adapt to stress and balance different processes in the body. Believed to promote longevity, holy basil extracts are used in Ayurvedic remedies for common colds, headaches, inflammation, stomach disorders, and different forms of poisoning or infection.
It’s believed that many of the physiological benefits in Holy Basil are attributed in its ability to help the body maintain homeostasis as well as protection of the body from toxin-induced damage. These functions are also commonly attributed to its high content of phenolic compounds and anti-oxidant properties. Studies have even shown that Holy Basil protects against toxic-chemical-induced injuries by increasing the body’s levels of antioxidant molecules and enzymes. It also helps reduce DNA damage and induce apoptosis in precancerous as well as cancerous cells which results in a reduction of growth of experimental tumors. holy basil can protect against damage caused by toxic compounds by enhancing the activity of liver detoxification enzymes.
A study published in 2017 by the School of Health Sciences, RMIT University in Victoria, Australia study mentioned previously also states that the chemical composition of Holy Basil is incredibly complex and contains many nutrients as well as other biologically active compounds.
They state that the quantity of many of the constituents that are present in the plant can be significantly affected by different growing, harvesting, processing and storage conditions.
Furthermore, it was stated that the overall effects of Holy Basil cannot be effectively duplicated with isolates due to its inherent botanical and biochemical complexity. Holy Basil standardization has, so far, eluded modern science.
Regarding the research of medicinal effect, the 2017 study mentions that there is mounting confirmation that holy basil can address physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress.
One way that is has been found to combat stress is by protecting organs and tissues against chemical stress induced from industrial pollution as well as heavy metals.
In relation to physical stress, a 2004 study conducted by School of Life Sciences, Devi Ahilya University, India, male mice were used as subjects that demonstrated the lowering of serum concentrations of cortisol and glucose with the use of a Holy Basil extract.
After the extract was administered, an anti-peroxidative effect was observed. This suggested a potential regulation of corticosteroid-induced diabetes.
Its thought that if this effect is correlative in humans that it could offer relief to patients experiencing adverse side effects from corticosteroids and even provide benefit to patients whose blood sugar regulation is compromised from the upregulation of serum cortisol.
If this effect is found in humans, it could benefit patients who experience adverse side effects from the use of corticosteroids.
A 2005 study examined the use of Ocimum sanctum to help the subjects better withstand the stress of chronic exposure to noise. The study used albino rats that were pretreated with an ethanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves for seven days. These rats were then exposed to noise at the frequency of 10 kHz and a sound level of 100 dB. This pre-treatment prevented noise-induced changes in acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase activity in the cerebral cortex, corpus striatum, hypothalamus, and hippocampus.
Alongside its anti-stress effects, it has been proven that Holy Basil contains radioprotective properties by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative damage induced from radiation. In animal experiments, it was shown to enhance post radiation survival and reduce organ damage.
Research from a 2007 study published by Evidence-based Complementary & Alternative Medicine has also shown that holy basil has strong anti-bacterial, an anti-viral and anti-fungal activity that can fight against several bacterias responsible for the infection. It’s been shown to boost immune response in both animals and healthy humans.
It has a special combination of healing properties as well as an analgesic effect that makes it superb in regards to wound healing.
They conclude their research by stating that,
“the results suggest that O. sanctum has antioxidant properties, which may be responsible and favorable for faster wound healing and this plant extract may be useful in the management of abnormal healing and hypertrophic scars.”
Using Holy Basil
With the information just presented it is safe to say that one can use Holy basil orally for its many properties and like any adaptogen, best results are achieved when used consistently and over a prolonged period of time. Holy basil is manufactured to be used in several different forms like powder, capsules, tinctures, and salves. As mentioned, it can be administered orally to achieve the myriad of health benefits and it can also be used topically on irritations or infections such as cuts, burns, scrapes, and even rashes.
History & Origin
Ocimum sanctum or more commonly known as Holy Basil or Tulsi is a widely used adaptogen that is native to the Indian subcontinent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the Southeast Asian tropics.
It is used famously in the ancient Indian medicine system, Ayurveda today and dating back thousands of years.
It’s even referred to as ‘The Queen of Herbs’ or the ‘Incomparable one’ in India and is known to be one of the holiest of the healing herbs that natives utilize. To this day, it’s still consistently used in religious and spiritual ceremonies and regarded as an ‘elixr of life’.
Calling an herb an elixir of life is certainly a bold and broad statement but this herb also has science on its side, backing up this claim in several in vitro and in vivo studies that have been conducted.
In Hinduism, Holy basil is worshipped as a goddess and every part of the plant is utilized and considered to be sacred, including the leaves, stems, flowers, roots, seeds, and oil. Even the surrounding soil is considered as divine and has just been found to contain beneficial endophytic fungi. (1)
Furthermore, in Hindi households, the holy basil plant is often considered to be a necessity that serves both practical and ceremonial purpose.
It’s integrated into their daily lives through rituals and spiritual practice that entails ingesting the leaves by consuming as a tea.
In addition to ingesting the herb, its wood and seeds are also used to make mala necklaces that are used during meditation practices.
Holy Basil has even been used in cities to help maintain air pollution as it contains anti-pollutant, anti-oxidant, and air purifying properties. This herb was planted in massive amounts all around the Taj Mahal in Agra to protect the iconic marble building from environmental pollution damage.

Amazing!!!!
I ordered the Holy Basil Tincture and I have to tell you ... It's incredible! I have anxiety and have tried many things to help ease it. Nothing has really truly made me feel calm and relaxed until I tried the Holy Basil Tincture. I have taken the recommended dose everyday for about 2 weeks and I have felt a HUGE difference in my day to day. I highly recommend ordering from Roots Apothecary. I received my order quickly and even got a sample pack of Adaptive Cacao. Going forward I will be ordering all my products from Roots Apothecary!
