Holy Basil is unlike the Sweet Basil that most of us are used to. It is high in vitamins A and C, calcium, zinc and iron.

It is said to help the body cope with stress and sleep problems. Holy Basil is also high in antioxidants and helps to detox the body. It is an antiviral, antifungal and antiinflammatory. It can also help to reduce blood sugar levels.

It can taste slightly bitter which is why some choose to add honey or sweetener.
