Description
Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as holy basil, is one of the most sacred plants in Indian culture. In Hindu tradition, tulsi is considered a manifestation of the goddess Lakshmi and is grown in the courtyards of millions of homes across India. Among the various tulsi varieties, Krishna Tulsi (the dark-purple leaf variety) is considered the most potent in Ayurvedic practice.
OrganicMantra gathers its Krishna Tulsi from certified organic farms in Uttar Pradesh, India. The leaves are hand-harvested, shade-dried to preserve their delicate essential oils, and ground into a fine, aromatic powder.
Krishna Tulsi powder is a foundational Ayurvedic herb for immune and respiratory support. Pair it with our Ashwagandha Powder for a stress-and-immunity combination, or brew it with our Ginger Cut & Sifted for a warming herbal tea during cold and flu season.

Krishna Tulsi is a specific variety of holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) with dark-purple leaves and a stronger, more peppery aroma. It is considered the most potent variety in Ayurvedic tradition. Other varieties include Rama Tulsi (green leaf, milder) and Vana Tulsi (wild forest tulsi).

Our Krishna Tulsi powder is finely ground leaf, ideal for mixing into drinks, smoothies, and honey. Our cut & sifted consists of dried leaf pieces, best suited for steeping as an herbal tea. Both are made from the same authentic organic Krishna Tulsi leaves.
