$16.25

Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum), is a powerful herb, and scientific study is now validating its health benefits. Holy Basil (Tulsi) CO2 has a wonderfully earthly sweet, herbal, slightly spicy aroma. There is emerging evidence that Tulsi, through a combination of pharmacological activities, can address physical, physiological, metabolic, and psychological stress. Holy Basil is thought to protect organs and tissues from physical stress caused by prolonged physical exertion, ischemia, physical restraint, cold, and excessive noise. Holy Basil has also been demonstrated to help with metabolic stress by lowering blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, as well as psychological stress by improving memory and cognitive performance and acting as an anti-anxiety and anti-depressant.
This CO2 may be a powerful irritant due to its chemical composition, so it should be diluted
