• Supports normal cortisol, blood sugar, and insulin metabolism already in normal ranges*
• Elevates spirit
• Protects healthy cells from radiation damage* The Tradition of Holy Basil
Holy Basil, known as Ocimum sanctum in Latin, has for thousands of years been revered as
“Tulsi” in Ayurvedic medicine. “Tulsi” means “The Incomparable One,” which is the reality
of this majestic herb. When in New Delhi, we visited with the leader of India’s Ayurvedic
Medical Association. We asked that “vaidya,” or Ayurvedic master, why Holy Basil is
considered the Mother Medicine of Nature in his tradition. He replied that Holy Basil is
“anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory.”* It is, he said, a “rasayana,” or an herb that on
its own nourishes a person’s growth to perfect health and enlightenment.* We asked why
people in the West find that Holy Basil promotes a positive stress response and elevates
their spirit, and he replied that “Holy Basil delivers nutrients to the mind necessary for the
experience of enlightenment.” We therefore are proud to deliver the "best Holy Basil in the world, grown without chemical
pesticides or fertilizers in pristine meadows bordering the Himalayas, and extracted with
supercritical potency and purity in our laboratory in Germany. To Enlightenment! Scientific Confirmation of Traditional Wisdom
Phytonutrients within Holy Basil are some of the most prized molecules in the plant
pharmacy. To make a drug from Holy Basil, pharmaceutical companies could deliver
those molecules in an isolated form, but that would no longer be the infinitely complex
Holy Basil treasured by traditional medicine. At New Chapter®, therefore, we deliver the
wisdom of Holy Basil in its most complete herbal form. We are, of course, also respectful
of those “prized molecules,” and Supercritical Holy Basil delivers in Potency Assured™
levels the five best known “active” molecules: Caryophyllene, Ursolic Acid, Eugenol, and
Oleanolic Acid. The scientific world is giving heed to these molecules. In the United States, researchers
have determined that Holy Basil’s “active” molecules promote a healthy inflammation
response.* These “active” molecules’ cell protective properties have been studied with
respect to cells of the breast and oral cavity (United States), colon (China), prostate
(Korea), skin (Hungary), and liver (Korea).* They have also been studied worldwide for
their effects on apoptosis and proliferation.* |
