A deeply aromatic and culturally significant basil distinguished by its dark purple to green purple leaves and purple flower spikes. Krishna Tulsi has a stronger, spicier, clove like flavour than Rama Tulsi and is traditionally grown around homes and temples in India. Highly regarded in Ayurvedic practice, it has long been used as a tonic herb associated with supporting the immune system, respiratory health, digestion, and the nervous system. Leaves can be used fresh in teas, added sparingly to salads, or used medicinally. Grown primarily for its therapeutic and spiritual value, it is also an attractive and aromatic garden plant.
