 New Chapter Holy Basil 90 Capsules
The Tradition of Holy Basil
Holy Basil, known as Ocimum sanctum in Latin, has for thousands of years been
revered as “Tulsi” in Ayurvedic medicine. “Tulsi” means “The
Incomparable One”, which is the reality of this majestic herb. When in New
Delhi, we visited with the leader of India’s Ayurvedic Medical Association. We
asked that “vaidya”, or Ayurvedic master, why Holy Basil is considered the
Mother Medicine of Nature in his tradition. He replied that Holy Basil is
“anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory”. It is, he said, a “rasayana”, or
an herb that on its own nourishes a person’s growth to perfect health and
enlightenment. We asked why people in the West find that Holy Basil promotes a
positive stress response and elevates their spirit, and he replied that “Holy
Basil delivers nutrients to the mind necessary for the experience of
enlightenment.”
We therefore are proud to deliver the finest Holy Basil in the world, grown
without chemical pesticides or fertilizers in pristine meadows bordering the
Himalayas, and extracted with supercritical potency and purity in our laboratory
in Germany. To Enlightenment!
Scientific Confirmation of Traditional Wisdom
Phytonutrients within Holy Basil are some of the most prized molecules in the
plant pharmacy. To make a drug from Holy Basil, pharmaceutical companies could
deliver those molecules in an isolated form, but that would no longer be the
infinitely complex Holy Basil treasured by traditional medicine. At New Chapter®,
therefore, we deliver the wisdom of Holy Basil in its most complete herbal form.
We are, of course, also respectful of those “prized molecules”, and delivers
in Potency Assured™ levels the five best known “active” molecules:
Caryophyllene, Ursolic Acid, Rosmarinic Acid, Eugenol, and Oleanolic Acid.
The scientific world is giving heed to these molecules. In the United States,
researchers have determined that Holy Basil’s “active” molecules include
potent COX-2 inhibiting anti-inflammatories. These “active” molecules' cell
protective properties have been studied with respect to cells of the breast and
oral cavity (United States), colon (China), prostate (Korea), skin (Hungary),
and liver (Korea).* They have also been studied worldwide for their effects on
apoptosis and proliferation.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts, but the whole must contain the
parts. That is why New Chapter’s Supercritical Holy Basil is the only source
of this herb that provides both supercritical and post-supercritical extracts to
capture the fullness of this herb in its purest and most concentrated form.
