Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as Ocimum sanctum, tulsi or holy basil) is a medicinal plant with a long history of traditional use in India and in Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, holy basil was used to treat everything from diarrhea, and dysentery, colds, and cardiovascular concerns. This is likely due to Holy basil’s numerous active constituents including tannins, phenolic compounds and flavonoids which are responsible for its anti-microbial, antispasmodic, analgesic, adaptogenic, and cardioprotective activities.

Today, holy basil is mainly used as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress (in cases of mental and physical fatigue related to stress). 

AOR Advantage

Holy basil extracts differ in chemical constituents depending on if the seed part or leaf part is used. AOR uses an extract from India of wildcrafted Holy Basil leaves.

*Polypropylene (PP) is considered a safe plastic for the environment and for human health. It’s odorless, non-toxic and chemically inert.

We deliver using 100% compostable mailers.

Our compostable mailers are made from a combination of PBAT, a bio based polymer which is compostable, and PLA which is made up of plant materials such as regular field corn and wheat straw. Our use of PLA makes up barely 0.05% of the annual global corn crop, making it an incredibly low-impact resource.

The bags are certified by the leading authorities worldwide; meeting American, European, International and Australian standards – including certifications for your domestic home compost. To gain these certifications, the product must break down within 90 days in commercial compost and 180 days in domestic compost conditions, including worm farm compost. After degradation, they must leave no harmful residues behind.
