Holy Basil: Any Experience with this positive or negative?

Hi does anyone have any experience with Holy Basil. I am taking it before bedtime. I am pretty sure I have adrenal fatigue.

The first few nights I noticed a real relaxing feeling. Now I am not so sure if it does anything. Although besides last night I have been sleeping good on this regime. Last night was the first night I had a few awakenings but I thought some of that could of been from a "die off" reaction to parasite cleansing. I know the parasite cleanse is tiring me out a lot more but I need to do it. I really want to sleep steadily without resorting to ambien and stronger pills again. I was on them for years.

I take:

2 to 4 pills 400mg Holy Basil
1mg Klonopin
1000mg of Valerian Root
10mg of melatonin


This is the first time in years I have slept without a major sleeping pill. I guess I am just worried since I had one or two bad nights out of 2 weeks. And both occured since starting the parasite cleanse.


Any experience with Holy Basil. All articles on here are old. Did you find it to help sleep? Stimulating? I have yet to find it stimulating. I do find Astragalus a little stimulating (not much but I take this in the morning) I was trying Rhodiola Rosea for a few days but I am pretty sure it was increasing my anxiety although it gave a good boast of energy.


Another weird side effect is I feel cold on it. Normally I am warm. Other then that I am not sure if there is any better herb for adrenal fatigue. I am not sure if Ashghwanda is any better. I know I have took this in the past but for the life of me I cant remember how I did on this one.

I have took Phosaphylyserine in the past but it is too pricey with everything I have to take just to function at bare minimum.


Thanks in advance. Tweet
