I call the various Basil varieties, the 'Ocimum' family because that's the first name they all share botanically.

These beings grow all over the world and are revered in every ancient culture as well as modern ones. They're just little shrubs really but something about them reaches out to animals and humans alike and even those with no mental knowledge of their effects look to them for healing.

My Office Manager Vic's dog Austin, had severe IBS as a pup. He's a labrador and they're famous for eating without discrimination. This little guy rehabilitated his gut by eating a whole semi dried Holy Basil plant he found growing against the garden wall. Of all the plants and herbs in the garden, he ate this one - leaves, stems, everything, spread out over a week. His digestive system didn't have problems after that - a great achievement for a labrador in our times.

Caught in the act:


In India, which has various varieties of Basil growing wild and in cultivation for countless centuries now, Tulsi, Basil, commonly called 'Tulsi', is considered to be 'Shakti' or energy in movement or pure feminine energy (masculine energy is considered to be still and stable, feminine energy flowing and moving from one point to another). It's energy has a vibration frequency that in sound is 'Shree' - which is simply a sound vibration that causes energy to move on its natural path. When energy moves vigorously the body automatically balances itself. For this reason Basil can help heal from any sort of energy imbalance in the body.

The effect of Tulsi or Basil is simply, vigorous energy movement. In scientific terminology this transalates to "cell respiration". Cell respiration is nothing but "Cell breathing" - the life sustaining activity of every cell and therefore every living being. When cells aren't breathing, they pause for a while - causing energy blocks really, and then begin to decay and die. This is the cause of most illnesses and disorders in the body. Keeping our cells breathing well, means keeping the entire body healthy.

Any type of Basil performs this basic energy release, but depending on which type they are, they also have focussed effects.



The Holy Basil plants which have purple flowers and light brown or white stems - Ram or Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum) cause the release and simultaneous balance of Active or Sattvic energy. This energy is the energy we need in the moment to do things, like physical exercise, mental activity and so on. As such it is a great help in fighting infection, aiding mental concentration, and energizing the respiratory, digestive and nervous systems.



The Sweet Basil plants with white flowers - the Basil growing commonly all over Europe for example, Ocimum Basilicum, supports the conversion of stored energy to active energy in the body. For this reason its energy field balances energy in all fluid and moving areas of our body - like our blood circulation (veins, arteries), lymphatic system, urinary system and so on. It energizes and balances all the energy conversions happening in our body. No wonder it is a vital part of Mediterranean diet - which is famous for being healthy.



The Wild or Black Basil plants - called 'Vana Tulsi' or 'Forest Basil' or 'African Basil' - Ocimum Gratissimum - have dark purple or black stems. They are beautiful and strong energy fields that balance Tamasic or stored energy. They cause energy fields to immediately conserve and store energy OR release energy stores that should have been released earlier.

While I love each of the Basil varieties and have long and intimate histories with each - they have looked after me pretty much all my life through good times and bad, my favorite these days is the Vana Tulsi.

There was a time when I was recovering from months of stressful hard work, and could hardly muster enough energy to get through the day. One night, it was the birthday of a loved one I was missing. I walked around the garden to commemorate this special day by touching the plants this loved one especially loves - the Basil family ie; and as I did, my hands automatically touched the earth around one and a little 'weed' or - so I thought - pretty much jumped into my hands, feeling like divine electricity, a little love-letter from God. It healed me the second it touched me.

In the light, it turned out to be a little Vana Tulsi sapling, full of gumption and conviction - come from who knows where - it wasn't growing anywhere around at the time. I planted it in a special place, waited for it to grow and flower and then began to have its energy essence. It rehabilitated my energy levels and saw me through right back to complete health and gave me a whole new lease on life.

For those depleted by long term or severe stress, unforgiving hard work, or recovering from serious injuries, illness or trauma, there's nothing so radically helpful as Vana Tulsi or Black/Forest Basil.

By balancing Stored or Tamasic energy levels it energizes and balances the energy we need for hormonal balance, internal organ health and development, development or healing of skin, bone, teeth and hair cells and keeps our endocrine glands energized (a wonderful anti-ageing or anti-tissue degeneration aid).

An energy essence that combines the different types of Basil is an overall energy balance tonic that needs to be tried to be believed.

Basil or Tulsi, taken in the short term relieves stress, energizes the Brain, Nervous System and Digestive System.

Taken regularly, it balances endocrine function, cures insomnia, rehabilitates internal organ function from the Brain, to the Heart and Liver and Kidneys, heals the reproductive system in general and slowly brings the body back to efficient energy management.

I cannot possibly list the conditions Basil can heal. If there's an illness you have, Basil can help. There might be other flowers or herbs that work on it better and faster, but Basil can help anyway.

For a gentle energy field capture of Basil,you need the fresh or dried, flower or leaves. You pour boiling water over about a table spoonful of these and count to 10. Now have the steam rising up condense on a spoon of silver or hardened glass. See the picture to the right for a simple home method. Even just a few drops on the spoon (or in the bowl) will charge about 100 ml of pure water. This will keep for 3 days refridgerated and 7 days frozen. It has to be taken 2 drops under the tongue directly or in water at room temperature.

In its more powerful forms, such as I use to make Dot-In-Circle Energy Medicine, Basil is very often combined or fused with other essences that have radical or strong pointed effects - like Garlic for example. Basil's energy field, balances the effect of other strong energies keeping the treatment balanced. It is also a cause of energy field clearing up and can throw up all stale issues at one go - not something most people can handle - so for this reason its energy essence is combined with Balsam or Lavender or Wheatgrass to keep things calm.
