Ocimum gratissimum
Shrubby basil of Africa and Asia; one of three Tulsi varieties used in Ayurveda; also widely used across Africa for infections and malaria.
Vana Tulsi (Ocimum gratissimum) is a shrubby basil used in Ayurveda and African traditional medicine as an adaptogenic tonic and for infections. Its primary modern uses include antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic applications. Key active compounds include eugenol, thymol, carvacrol, beta-caryophyllene, and rosmarinic acid.
Eugenol and thymol inhibit bacterial and fungal growth by disrupting cell membrane integrity and inhibiting efflux pumps. Beta-caryophyllene acts as a selective CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist, contributing to anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Rosmarinic acid modulates COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Adaptogenic effects may involve modulation of the HPA axis and increased expression of heat shock proteins.
