Herbal plants are considered the most significant source of medicines. These plants have been used as natural remedies since ancient times. Historically, the entire plant has been used to treat a wide range of illnesses. Ocimum sanctum, also known as Tulsi, is one of the most significant herbal herbs.

The tulsi plant is not only used in ayurvedic medicines but also in other medicinal systems in Greek, Roman, and Unani. Apart from this, the Tulsi plant possesses different therapeutical properties due to the presence of several phytochemical constituents in its roots, stem, fruit, and leaves due to the presence of eugenol, vallinin, gallic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and many more. These phytochemicals are extracted from the plant and used to cure various types of diseases. Tulsi is reported to have properties like anti-ulcer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antidiabetic, anti-arthritic, analgesic, antistress, anti-asthmatic, antifertility, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective activity, antimaterial activity, hepatoprotective properties, cardiac activity, antimicrobial, antidote, and wound healing activity.
