Love this channel! I have 3 potted holy basil plants and every time i water them, they send me such an amazing smells. Almost as if they are thanking me
Tulsi has been the most beneficial herb for me! Weaned off antidepressants using tulsi and drink tulsi daily! It’s delicious and so helpful!!! It’s worked wonders for my daughters anxiety/panic attacks as well!!!
Holy basil reseeded all over my garden, my daughters and I have been drinking lots of holy basil, lemon balm, raspberry leaf tea sweetened with honey and it is so delicious!
@@veronicaavsec6808 I had a huge bag left over from a bulk order I did while I was pregnant. Unfortunately I don't have raspberry plants but hopefully soon!
Great video! Basil/Tulsi is definitely on my top 10 list of favorite plants ever. As a kid I only knew about a handful of varieties. But I have spent a good chunk of my life learning about cultivars that are grown all over the world and have been adding many to my garden space. Breeder Jason Howard aka The Willy Wonka of Basil/Tulsi from basicallyaboutbasil has taught me a ton. Their farm has shared some of the most incredible hybrid basil plants with me that keep my yard sounding like a pollinator airport practically 24-7-365.
I learned about holy basil during 2020 when the store was sold out of cold medicine. A friend of mine from India gave me some and told me to make a tea out of holy basil and bee balm. The tea was quite effective and paired with honey and lemon juice...it was so very soothing. Thank you for sharing one of my favorite herb's!! One plant will yield more seed's than you will know what to do with. A great pollinator plant also. Have a wonderful day.
AMEN! You introduced my to Holy Basil, I had never tried it before you talked about it in your seed haul video. I decided to plant some and when The Lord blessed me with 100% germination on the seeds I planted I was ecstatic, but then when it was old enough to taste! WOW WOW WOW WOW! LOVE IT!
I found a wonderful Tulsi, Ginger, Lemongrass tea blend at a temple in Chino Hills, California. I bought many bulk bags because they were having a buy 1 get 2 free and I couldn't pass that by!
Thank you for your helpful information. I just checked and realized the book my son and his fiance got me for Christmas is the one you reference; Andrew Chevallier's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine😁
I had 3 kinds, Vana, Rama, and Krishna. Overwintered in pots inside in a cold house and only the Vana survived. It has softer fuzzier leaves than the others and is light green. Krishna was purple. Not sure if I just missed watering them enough or they just didn't tolerate the cold.
My lettuce when planted in ground was always one of the dirtiest veggies I've grown.. however this year I did lettuce in pots and it was so much cleaner. I still washed it because there was some dirt and we have pesky slugs.
@@donnaleveron5711 I, like many in the Northeast US, are finding it hard to grow without covering to protect from chemical fallout and unusually intense Sun. More must be done to stop their destruction of 🌍🌎🌏
@@donnaleveron5711 I would wash as well, simply because that's what I want. That being said the water is also loaded with chemicals and carcinogens. Even the bottled water isn't what it was.
Kaylee, I wanted to share my experience with Holy Basil. First, I want to say that I feel honored and blessed when that sweet lady grows in my lil patch I call a garden. Several yrs ago I must have been given some Holy Tulsi Basil seeds (thru a FB seed exchange) and grew a plant. I picked the fresh leaves and made tea every morning. That yr I began having terrible hot flashes and horrendous nausea. But, I found that sipping on Tulsi tea controlled those symptoms, and later I realized I was going through the change/menopause. Were it not for Holy Basil it would have been so much worse. I did a lil research on the plant and I have loved it ever since. I also have come to notice it is very calming and relieves anxiety which I've been struggling with at late. I have 2 small plants this yr. I pray it becomes invasive on my property and I end up with it all over my place. Thnx for sharing. I enjoy learning about more medicinal herbs from you and your Mom. I was so enthralled when I saw the rows of Tulsi growing in Jessica Soward's garden on Roots and Refuge in her recent garden tour video. I just love her.
So interested in your Holy Basil freeze dried seed viability experiment! 🌱 Your channel is so authentic and filled with so much helpful wisdom. Love that you don't use chemicals. Thank-you very much. 💚🐝🦋
Timing couldn't have been more perfect that you put out this video as I have a ton of holy basil to harvest and no idea what to do with it. As always your videos are so informative and helpful! Love love love all your content - thank you!!
I’ve had holy basil growing and didn’t know what to do with it. I found you today. I love the vibe of the video and the informative presentation. Just subscribed and bought the encyclopedia. I have a freeze dryer so thank you for talking about that too. Looking forward to watching more videos.
Holy Basil took over my above ground garden and it is a big garden. It took weeks to remove all the roots last Spring and more still came up. Like you, I do love this Little Lady of the Earth but I need to grow other items in my garden.
I can remember when I only grew basil for my pet rabbits and now I have towers of it in Greenstalks. 😊 My favorite herb is sage and it comes back every year in my garden without overtaking space, like oregano did this season. I love sifting dried sage in honey and taking a spoonful when my throat’s sore.
Loved this video, went over to get some seeds and Hoss is sold out. Mountain rose herbs doesn't have this variety of Tulsi. The search for seeds continues.
Watching this a year later and I have to say I planted herbs this summer and I had some few bugs in comparison to the past It was chamomile yarrow and fever few I found it out in my regular garden and I didn't have all the squash bugs and such ❣️ I find it holy basil and stevia out in my flower beds out front❤
that is a HUGE difference. wow. I wonder if my dehydrator would be better than just letting it sit out. will have to save up for that freeze dryer. Didn't know Tulsi did all that either. for sure will plant that in the spring.
Thank you for the Vid. We love it too and use it as a base for many of our teas. We like to mix all three varieties, Rama (O. sanctum), Krishna (O. tenuiflorum) & Vana (O. gratissum), for a rich medicinal properties and flavors ... Also, if you plant Krishna (O. tenuiflorum) in your garden, it will self-seed forever!
On the Bayous of Louisiana at this time of year you can harvest wild cow pea it’s called hairy cow peas. You can eat the flowers, pod & peas. It grows like a weed & insect don’t bother it. So prolific you have to keep it cut back
Beautiful. I can almost smell it. (Or could walk to the garden) I can not believe the difference with color from freeze drying. My favorites are ashwagandha and tulsi.
I'm always harvesting them. Wild lettuce out in the pasture, holy basil in the garden. I'm actually looking to start planting the Basil around the edge of the pasture.
I started basil in the spring and then learned about how many different basil's there are. The medicinal herbs are what I was primarily wanting so I just started the tulsi basil about 4 weeks ago. My regular basil and cinnamon basil are doing great so I'm hoping I can get at least a small tulsi harvest before first frost at the beginning of November.
I've been adding holy basil to my salves and it has helped reduce her arthritis pain incredibly. She never comments on thr herbal remedies I share with her, ever. But, she does ask for this particular salve which is huge to me!
@danielagentile8049 you would first dry it and then put it in oil like olive or jojoba or avocado mmm after about 6 weeks strain out the plant and then you use the oil and mix with beeswax melting on super low heat and put in a container to harden ... then you have yourself a salve, there are many videos teaching salve making ❤😊
Omgoodness. I have tons of holly basil I just started this year. I'm also battling a nasty step throat infection that antibiotics don't seem to be helping. I'm brewing some tea right now. Thank you
Thank you for your valuable information! I just requested the herbal encyclopedia through our library which has an interlibrary loan throughout our state. Thank you for the recommendation!
Two of the best pollinator attractors is Perpetual Basil (Holy Basil) and lavender. We have plants at the end of each row of vegetables and never had a problem with any pollination issues whilst others are struggling. Just a Quick heads up for anyone growing their own vegetables etc.
Without a doubt the number one favorite in my garden…the smallest seeds that seems to take forever to grow to a substantial size and so worth the wait…but what an amazing flavor to harvest..have a bit of it everywhere in the yard…wanting to go to seed now but I just clip about every other day seeds and all to have this tea available to everyone in the house..also ready to use the harvest right so we will be blessed with it in the winter months…thanks for sharing …stay blessed.
I will be curious to know how it comes out as a topical. I am harvesting a little bot I have today. Mine. Will be dried for a tea I think, it’s not a huge amount. Than you so much for sharing with us. Hugs to your Mom.
I have been growing Tulsi (Holy Basil) from the original plant I bought years ago. It seeds itself each year in our Zone 6a no till garden and grows prolific. I have used it as tea as well as soap.
Does some Chamomile have the Yellow flowers without White petals, and dosen't get very tall ? Also have a Basil with ruffled, Purplish leaves, and smells like Licorice..Both of these plants grow wildly on my acreage, sometimes making a good ground cover, and preventing other weeds..Thanks, and HI from Nebraska !
Thank you for all the book recommendations and amazing videos. I recently the small Herbal Remedies Handbook and I'm loving it. I also love feverfew! I tastes great, and ive started mixing it with chamomile and ginger to help eith my migraines and arthritis/inflammation. 😊
Would you please consider making merch that doesn’t have polyester in it? I love the designs but am trying to cut out synthetic fabrics due to concerns about micro plastics.
I have to say I've been enjoying your channel/content a lot. But watching you is interesting..lol.. as you look wee bit like myself and my niece.. enough for me to comment here... However.. you could be my sister's twin! Ohmigosh! Wish I could post her pic here to show u.. would definitely wow you.. Anyhow.. really love what your info! Greetings from the Canadian Rockies!
Are you cultivating the Kapoor tulsi variety? I grow an unknown variety in Bozeman, MT and is grows easily at 4500' elevation! I even overwinter some in a pot and return it to the garden in the spring with success. Most of the plants, however, are grown from seed.
Hey you love yur videos keep up the awesome works and try not to stress so much. LoL. 😂 I know right! But you need to let go of some of the people who keep causing you unnecessary stress and stay focused on your home front and loved ones. Over & Out for now.😊
You may find Tulsi will volunteer seed for you. I’m in zone 5b-6 and I have volunteers. I’m wondering what your thoughts are about tincturing with ashwagandha. They just seem to be a good match and I take the ashwagandha daily. Not a regular tea drinker but do love the way tulsi tastes and smells.
One thing I wanted to add is if you could include how you germinated your holy basil seeds and kind of followed the process. You may have done it in one of your older videos, but if you're not sure which you can give us just an update on that that would be appreciated! thank you
I'm a T1D and I tried in a tea from and it slowly lower my blood sugar and going to try in pill from next to see if that will help lower it faster, along with rosemary, Iv heard rosemary will lower it to
I love your channel. Your presence is comfortable. I trust your wisdom. I am running short on pantry space and I am building my apothecary. How far from a window is safe for storage. I have a shelf 10-12 ft from a patio door. Will that be safe for storage or are herbs better kept in a dark place.
this is sooo..cool i was just going to try to germinate a favorite variety ofa hugh paste tomatoe seeds that came out of the freeze dryer/// I'll be keeping an on on you about this be watching to see if your seeds remained viable
I made holy basil tincture last year. In July my son and I both got strep throat and we got on antibiotics. I started taking a dropper full of holy basil tincture 2 times a day. He tried it but hated the taste. My strep lasted 3 days and his lasted over a week. I only took 2 days of antibiotics and he took all 10 days.

My holy basil germinated nicely. I'm super excited to get it outside in a couple weeks 😁
I use Holy Basil and Lemon Balm to cold water and put it in the refrigerator over night....my favorite cold infusion.
I let this grow wild just to feed my bees in the slow months. I let them all seed their beautiful purple flowers and the bees do their thing.
Wash my garden veggies? I don’t even wash my hands these days 😂. Nature is perfection.
Holy basil reseeded all over my garden, my daughters and I have been drinking lots of holy basil, lemon balm, raspberry leaf tea sweetened with honey and it is so delicious!
When do you harvest the raspberry leaves
@@veronicaavsec6808 I had a huge bag left over from a bulk order I did while I was pregnant. Unfortunately I don't have raspberry plants but hopefully soon!
Such an Amazing Plant ! Thank you, God for Providing Everything we Need.❤🙏
I love to pair tulsi with lemon balm, stinging nettle, spearmint and ginger. This is my absolute favorite summer time iced tea.
Holy basil lowers cortisol so, great for anxiety.
This is the most prolific plant I've ever grown. It comes back by itself every year and needs basically zero care.
Watching this while drinking iced tulsi tea with honey. My favorite garden plant forever!
I love eating the flowers. They taste sweet and lovely
Oh my goodness, I bet the apothecary smells heavenly! Holy Basil is one of my favorite scents!
I really love Holy Basil.🐑

My favourite herb. You are doing a great job sending love from Ghana 🇬🇭
You have inspired me!! I started my medicinal herb garden today and the first thing I planted was Holy Basil!!! Super excited to learn herbalism!!
My holy basil is in a pot since I am in zone 4, so I can bring it indoors to over winter. Love Holy Basil!

We cooked leaves with mince pork, minced chicken in Thailand. It's our favorite street food.

I read that freeze dried seeds germ better or faster so I can’t wait to see what you find out! Keep us posted please! ✌🏻🙏🏼❤️
Ohhh I’m so excited about this!
In India we worship holy Tulsi (basil) I feel relaxed whenever I sit next to Tulsi plant.

I don't wash my lettuce leaves. They are up high and not in the dirt at all. I just look them over for green wormies and eat!
I agree 🙌
I strongly suggest you wash them well, the chemtrails have particulates that you do not want to ingest, like strontium, barium, and aluminum.
