Dr. Raakhi Mehra, Asstt. Director (Ay),
Dr. Renu Makhiza, Asstt. Director (Patho)
Ayurveda Central Research Institute, New Delhi, India-110026

These compounds together possess strong antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, adaptogenic, and immune-enhancing properties that promote general health and support the body’s natural defence against stress and diseases. The fragrance and refreshing flavor of Tulsi are due to the presence of essential oils in the leaves of the plant.
