Classic Indian Holy Tulsi for Professional Use
Basil Holy-Tulsi - ORGANIC (Ocimum tenuiflorum) is one of the most revered aromatic herbs in traditional Indian wellness practice. Steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops, this oil is selected for its uplifting herbaceous warmth, nuanced spice character, and versatile role in diffuser blends, body care, and aromatic rituals.
This oil is especially valued when formulators want an herbaceous profile that feels more spiritual, warming, and complex than common sweet basil. It supports aromatic clarity while contributing depth, energy, and a distinctive botanical identity.
