Abstract:

Tulsi or holy basil is a dedicated plant of India. It is a pungent plant in the family Lamiaceae which is mother to the Indian subcontinent and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the Southeast Asian tropics. Tulsi is considered to be an adaptogen, balancing different processes in the body, and helpful for adapting to stress. Tulsi, one with a purple‑colored leaf or dark variety, commonly known as the Shyama or Krishna Tulsi and the second type with a green‑colored leaf or light variety known as Rama Tulsi or Sri Tulsi. The chemical composition of Tulsi is highly complex, containing many nutrients and other biologically active compounds. Tulsi also helps to check cancers caused by toxic compounds by reducing DNA damage. Tulsi has also been shown to boost defenses against infective threats by intensify immune responses in non-stressed and stressed animals and healthy humans. The O. sanctum fixed oil elongate clotting time, response being similar to aspirin. Basil juice is an effective medicament for sore eyes and night-blindness, which is generally caused by deficiency of vitamin A

Abstract:

The Tulsi plant, also known as Holy Basil, is a sacred herb in Hinduism and is revered for its medicinal properties as well. It belongs to the Lamiaceae (mint) family and is native to the Indian subcontinent. Tulsi is widely cultivated and is found in many Hindu households where it is worshipped daily. In this work there was an attempt to made to find out chlorophyll content of different Tulsi species found in Nuapada district, Odisha. In this work we were compare chlorophyll pigment of 4 different species of tulsi of Nuapda such as Ocimum tenuiflorum (black tulshi), Ocimum sanctum (green tulshi), Ocimum basilcum (dohna) and Ocimum gratissuma (van tulshi). Among them maximum total chlorophyll content found in Ocimum tenuifflorum And list in Ocimum sanctum. The chlorophyll a found maximum in Ocimum basilcum. And minimum in Ocimum gratissuma.The chlorophyll b found maximum in Ocimum basilcum and minimum in Ocimum tenuiflorum. The total chlorophyll found Ocimum gratissum and minimum in Ocimum sanctum. Such type of work provides us data regarding distribution of chlorophyll in different species of a genera.

Abstract:

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play a vital role in the induction of morphogenesis in vitro. Synthetic PGRs are commonly used to induce organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis from various explants, while natural substances are rarely utilized. This study aimed to enhance the regenerative response in Nicotiana tabacum leaf explants using Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) leaf extract and to elucidate the biochemical interactions during modulation of endogenous plant growth regulators, including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), zeatin, and 6-(γ, γ-dimethylallylamino) purine (2iP). Tulsi leaf extract significantly improved shoot production through interactions between endogenous hormones and those present in the extract, which enhanced stress mitigation. The 20% Tulsi leaf extract treatment produced significantly more shoots than the control, coinciding with increased endogenous IAA and zeatin levels starting on day 10 in culture. Furthermore, ABA and zeatin concentrations increased on days 15 and 25, respectively, in the 20% Tulsi extract treatment, suggesting their role in the induction of somatic embryo-like structures. ABA likely acts as an activator of stress responses, encouraging the development of these structures. Additionally, 2iP was involved in the induction of both forms of regeneration in the 10% and 20% extract treatments, especially in combination with ABA. These results suggest that Tulsi leaf extract holds promising potential as a natural supplement for increasing plant regeneration in vitro and advancing our understanding of how natural extracts of plant origin can be harnessed to optimize plant regeneration processes in vitro.

Abstract:

Ocimum sanctum, commonly known as "Tulsi" or "Holy basil," is a fragrant, small, and branched herb with a height of approximately 70 cm. Widely distributed throughout India, it is often cultivated in proximity to Hindu homes and temples. Every part of this herb, including the roots, leaves, and seeds, has been extensively utilized for millennia in Ayurveda and the Siddha system of medicines to address a variety of diseases and disorders. With its chemical composition being intricate, Tulsi encompasses a multitude of healthful nutrients and biologically active compounds. Scientific studies have corroborated its numerous beneficial properties, establishing Tulsi as possessing antioxidant, anti-stress, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic, and hypo-lipidemic attributes, all within a wide safety margin. Revered as "The incomparable one" in Ayurveda, Tulsi is employed singularly or in combination with other herbs for the treatment of chronic cough, cold, fever, bronchitis, and various common disorders. This review aims to offer a concise overview of extensive research covering the pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and diverse health benefits associated with Tulsi, emphasizing its traditional significance and contemporary scientific validation.

Abstract:

Ocimum sanctum L., sometimes referred to as Tulsi in various Indian languages or Holy Basil in English, is a significant medicinal herb used in Southeast Asian traditional and folk medicine. It has been demonstrated via scientific studies to have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, antipyretic, analgesic, hepatoprotective, and stress-relieving properties. Studies have also demonstrated that Tulsi and some of its phytochemicals—including eugenol, apigenin, myretenal, sitosterol, rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid and luteolin—prevent chemically induced oral, gastric, cervical, skin, liver, and lung cancers. These effects are mediated by increased antioxidant properties, inhibition of angiogenesis and metastasis, induction of apoptosis and altered gene expressions. This chapter summarises findings about the chemopreventive effects of Tulsi on various malignancies and also highlights elements that call for more investigation to confirm the herb's efficacy and value in the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Abstract:

In recent times, researchers have increasingly focused on exploring alternative sources of anti-inflammatory agents, particularly of plant origin. Ocimum sanctum (tulsi) has been a longstanding source of medicinal agents, with its leaves, bark, stems, and flower spikes harboring phytoconstituents responsible for anti-inflammatory activity. Phytochemical screening of the plant's stems has identified the presence of saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, tannins, and glycosides. Ocimum sanctum, also known as tulsi or holy basil, belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is renowned for its medicinal uses. The study aimed to analyze the phytochemical components of tulsi stems. Using the soxhlet apparatus, dried tulsi stem powder was separately subjected to aqueous, methanol, and ethanol extraction, resulting in yields of 6.0% w/w, 8.0% w/w, and 9.0% w/w, respectively. The analysis revealed the presence of secondary metabolites such as carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids, fatty acids, and phenols in the tulsi stem extract. These phytochemicals are known for their various therapeutic properties, including antiseptic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-stress, immune-modulatory, hypoglycemic, hypotensive, and antioxidant effects. Utilizing tulsi as a herbal medicine is deemed more beneficial than chemically synthesized alternatives. India's rich medicinal plant heritage has long been integrated into traditional medicine systems, with tulsi holding a significant place for treating various ailments. Tulsi, or Ocimum sanctum Linn., has been utilized in Ayurveda for millennia, known for its diverse healing properties. Recognized as the "incomparable" herb of India, tulsi plays a pivotal role in traditional medicine. However, the lack of standardization in morphological and anatomical characters poses challenges, leading to the occasional misidentification and adulteration of drugs. This research focuses on the standardization of Ocimum sanctum, considering its medicinal importance, aiming to document its morphology, distribution, phytochemistry, and medicinal properties. The findings are expected to contribute to further scientific investigations for the development of effective therapeutic compounds.
