Holy Basil, commonly known as Tulsi, is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine3 and is considered useful for the brow's energy center (or Third Eye), the chakra of intuition and soul knowledge. Healthy function of the brow chakra allows the individual to trust their intuition and the soul's natural expression.
