Tulsi Holy Basil Essential Oil | Sustainably Cultivated 15 ml

Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is a powerful, aromatic herb widely used in both Ayurveda and traditional medicine. It is said to cleanse the mind, body, and soul.

In Hindu households in India, Tulsi holds a special place, where it is grown for its auspicious and protective powers. The unique combination of medicinal and olfactory properties has earned this spicy, fresh, and herbaceous-minty oil the name "Elixir of Life."

Tulsi, which translates to "the Incomparable," is believed to have a purifying aura that cleanses body, mind, and soul. Tulsi is a fantastic energy booster and can be used daily to maintain our health resilience. As a room fragrance, Tulsi promotes the vitality of the whole family and should always be on hand, especially when children have colds.

• Aroma profile: distinctive, fresh, sweet-spicy, camphoraceous, herbaceous-minty, licorice-like
  
• Aroma strength: strong, with a balsamic, clove- and anise-like finish
• Well blendable with citrus oils and florals; bergamot, clary sage, geranium, lime, opopanax, oakmoss, and citronella

The unique scent of Tulsi resembles freshly cut basil and is spicy, sweet, and herbaceous-minty, with a pronounced warm, clove-like accent. Its effect is warming, clarifying, and uplifting.

With its strong therapeutic effects, Anima Mundi’s Tulsi essential oil is an aromatic gem that belongs in every natural medicine cabinet.

Anima Essential Oils

Adriana Ayales, founder: "I am overjoyed to announce that we have officially taken over Floracopeia, an essential oils company co-founded by my dear friend and colleague David Crow.

When I first attended David’s course over a decade ago and tried Floracopeia’s products, I was immediately impressed. The quality and potency of these oils were—and still are—unmatched. Strange as it may sound now, I was never a big fan of essential oils. Apart from the classic staples of any herbalist’s travel medicine kit, I didn’t collect exotic oils... until I met David.

David and Floracopeia opened up a whole new world of healing potential to me. Since then, I have immersed myself in the traditional arts of distillation, extraction, and many other preparations. Did you know that aromatherapy and medicinal scents were among the first forms of medicine ever used for health and healing?

Recently, David shared with me that he was considering closing Floracopeia, the company he has built over the past two decades. I immediately knew I wanted to make it my mission to continue his legacy by supporting eco-projects that distill some of the world’s finest oils. To this end, I have selected more than 20 special oils for the Anima Mundi apothecary. I believe these oils are a must-have in your home or travel medicine kit for various therapeutic and medicinal purposes.

The essential oils industry can be incredibly deceptive. That’s why it is of utmost importance to me to continue David’s commitment and offer conscious consumers small-batch distillations. Given strange extractors, diluents, toxins in agriculture, and other harmful practices, it is no easy task to bring these small batches of very high-quality oils from extremely rural areas to you. 

We are deeply grateful to David for his lifelong dedication to supporting communities that cultivate sustainable, natural medicines and preserve ethnobotanical knowledge.
It is a great honor for us to welcome David as our new Chief Aromatic Officer in the Anima family. In light of his profound legacy, we are determined to advance this important work in close collaboration with David and his team."
