I love Holy Basil, Tulsi. I use it as a female aide to revive my spirits and energy. I have had many thoughts of riffling through my herbs to find mine. But, I use Saffron, a few leaves in boiling water and add heavy whipping cream and stevia, it turns a pretty butter cream color. The Hindu that told me about it said it is a great woman's aide a sensual female booster and relaxer. He said to use warm milk and honey to sweeten, I made it to fit my no Sugar diet. When I have trouble sleeping I drink that and it works wonders. A little goes a long way.
