5 Reasons Holy Basil (Tulsi) is an Ideal Herb for Travel: Support for Immunity, Stress, Digestion, and More

by Dr. Patricia October 3, 2017

A few years ago while on a business trip, I had an amazing experience with the herb commonly known as Tulsi or Holy Basil.

I had been feeling great all day and was looking forward to a meeting with a Western medicine colleague to review some of his difficult patient cases and (hopefully) provide some insights on how Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, qigong, and meditation could help. My plane had just landed and I was on my way to his office when I felt a shift in my well being.

In a short period of time, I went from feeling great to not so great. You know that feeling when you know you’re coming down with something?

For me it manifested as a scratchy throat, congestion, a headache, and fatigue…and I didn’t have any of my go-to remedies with me.

Determined not to show up at this long-awaited appointment with a runny nose, I found a natural foods store and began looking through their supplement section for some relief.

Since none of my standby favorites were available, I decided to purchase holy basil. I had used it very successfully for stress reduction and sleep support with patients and myself for years. And I was aware of its antiviral properties, but had never used it for that purpose up until that point.

I took the supplement, and was beyond amazed by what seemed to happen almost instantaneously.

Within minutes my head started to clear, my congestion broke up, my sore throat was gone, and I felt a renewed sense of energy. I was able to go to my meeting and have a wonderful time with my colleague and have a creative collaboration to enhance the treatment plans for his patients. And the symptoms never came back.

I’ll never forget that experience with holy basil as it was so visceral. And so unexpected.

I had hoped it might help a little, but had no idea it could shift that “I’m coming down with something” feeling, to feeling like my vibrant self again so quickly.

I realize my experience is anecdotal, and not everyone who uses holy basil will have the same experience. However, I wanted to share my story as it offers an excellent example of how powerful herbs can be when given to the right person at the right time for the right reason.

Here are five reasons why, in my opinion, Holy Basil is a phenomenal herb that will benefit travelers …and beyond:

1. Holy basil has both antiviral and antibacterial properties.

There is no place like a crowded plane to increase your risk of exposure to colds, flu, and other viruses.

In addition to Echinacea which has been proven to reduce airplane sickness1, Holy basil is ideal for air travel because its essential oils have been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial properties2 as well as the whole herb acting as an overall immune booster3.

2. It acts as a digestive aid.

Digestion is usually one of the first things to suffer when you travel, which can weaken your immune system.

Holy basil tea has been used as a digestive tonic for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional medicine of India), and has been shown beneficial for digestive ailments4.

It can work even better when paired with probiotic-rich foods that encourage healthy elimination such as yogurt, kimchi, or kombucha.

3. Holy Basil has been studied for its positive effects on mental and emotional well-being.

Travel of any sort, from business trips to vacations, can often contribute to some level of mental and emotional stress—be it worry over getting to the airport on time or those first sleepless nights away from home.

Holy basil can help take the edge off travel stress, as it has been shown beneficial for anxiety, depression, stress, forgetfulness, cognitive impairments, exhaustion, and sleeplessness.

It is so effective for stress, that Dr. Oz has featured it on his show as a natural solution for stress and mood swings5.

4. It is adaptogenic in nature.

Adaptogenic herbs, like Holy Basil, support overall health by helping your body adapt to a variety of stressors.

In the case of Holy Basil, if you’re low on energy it will give you a boost, if you can’t sleep or are stressed out, it will help calm your nerves, it has also been shown to help with noise-induced stress6, which can make a big different on a noisy flight or in a less-than-peaceful hotel room.

5. Last, but not least, Holy Basil has been shown to have protective effects against a variety of environmental toxins including pesticides, heavy metals, and radiation.

Extra protection from pesticides and heavy metals is always a good thing, but radiation is of particular concern for air travelers, as radiation from airport scanners and cosmic rays in the air can cause increased body burden.

Experts estimate a flight from Los Angeles to New York, for example, exposes you to half the amount of radiation you would receive from a chest x-ray…which is not insignificant7.

As someone who loves to travel, I really appreciate learning about nourishing and supportive herbs such as holy basil. This way, I know I can stay healthy and energetic away from home while meeting new people and exploring other cultures in this beautiful world we live in.

Top 11 Scientifically Proven Reasons to Embrace Turmeric—from Depression to Immune Support

by Dr. Patricia July 17, 2017

I don’t use the word, “cure all” often when it comes to natural medicine. After all, at its core an integrative approach is all about treating the individual.

However, with thousands of published biomedical studies referencing curcumin (the active component in turmeric) 1, and thousands of years of traditional use, turmeric is exceptional in its healing properties.

It all started in 250 B.C.

According to Susruta’s Ayurvedic Compendium (Ayurvedic medicine is the traditional medicine of India), turmeric’s first recorded medicinal use dates back to 250 B.C., where it was used in an ointment for food poisoning.

Most of turmeric’s traditional use has been recorded over the past 4000 years as a primary staple in Ayurvedic medicine and religious ceremonies.

There have been over 130 species of turmeric discovered throughout Asia.

A member of the ginger family, the very best turmeric (and 80% of the world’s supply) is grown in India, where various factors, including climate and soil, produce a plant rich in the medicinal compound, curcumin—the focus of nearly all modern research on turmeric.

We will discover a lot more about the research and healing power curcumin coming up.

A Laundry-List of Traditional Uses

Before we dive into the top 11 scientifically proven reasons to embrace turmeric (and yes, with 6000 studies to choose from it was REALLY hard to pick just 11 health benefits), I’d like to share a small sampling of its fascinating traditional uses (most of which have been scientifically validated within the last 50 years).

This is a partial list of turmeric’s historical uses:

  • Blood purifier
  • Hair remover
  • Overall energy and strength enhancer
  • For relieving gas
  • Dispelling worms
  • Improving digestion
  • Regulating menstruation
  • Dissolving gallstones
  • Improving skin conditions
  • As a sunscreen
  • For arthritis
  • An antiseptic for cuts, burns, and bruises
  • An antibacterial
  • An anti-inflammatory
  • For tummy trouble
  • Colds and flu
  • For irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders
  • Anti-cancer benefits

Top 11 Scientifically-proven Reasons to Embrace Turmeric

Note: Curcumin, the primary medicinal compound in turmeric that give it its distinctive yellow color, is the subject of the majority of these studies.

#1: Inflammation

Did you know, per the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, that Americans spend over 33 billion dollars a year on supplements2? Many of which are used for diseases stemming from chronic inflammation.

We’ve become an inflammation nation, with heart disease, IBS, digestive disorders, chronic pain, allergies, asthma, thyroid issues, eczema, psoriasis, even certain cancers are all a result of inflammation run amuck.

There have been countless studies done on turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits to everything from neurodegenerative disorders and autoimmunity to heart disease3 and arthritis4.

#2: Depression

The Journal of Affective Disorders, recently published a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study proving curcumin’s effectiveness, after 4-8 weeks of use, in improving mood in test subjects with major depressive disorder5.

Curcumin’s efficacy proved out because of its positive influence on many organs, glands, and biological processes (such as the gut, inflammatory pathways, and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis) that directly relate to depression.

#3: For pre-cancer activity, cancers, and as a potential anti-cancer drug alternative

Curcumin has been proven effective for cancer prevention by increasing the body’s supply of antioxidants vitamin E, C, and preventing lipid oxidation and DNA damage6.

It has also been proven beneficial, either alone or in combination with other herbs for, breast7, pancreatic8, prostate9, and liver cancers10.

Thanks to all these successful studies, Curcumin is being considered a potential candidate for anticancer drug development11.

#4: For healthy insulin levels

The subjects of a study published in the International Journal of Endocrinology Metabolism, reduced their blood glucose levels using curcumin, suggesting it has antihyperglycemic and insulin sensitizing effects12.

Previous animal studies have also shown promise for turmeric’s beneficial effects on type 2 diabetes13,14.

Though studies on the effects of turmeric and blood sugar issues are in their infancy, the initial research is promising—and worth a second look for those with a family history of diabetes.

#5: For the your heart

Because of its proven, powerful, antioxidant compounds and anti-inflammatory action, turmeric can benefit your body in numerous ways which can ultimately help your heart.

According to a ground-breaking study from the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Nizam’s Institute of Medical Science in India, curcumin proved as effective as the drug, Atorvastatin, on endothelial dysfunction (dysfunction of the blood vessel lining which can result in numerous ailments including hypertension and high cholesterol)15.

As a proven anti-inflammatory, turmeric also keeps the cells, heart, and entire body healthy.

#6: Turmeric oil to strengthen anti-viral activity

Studies on a preparation of turmeric oil sprayed in the respiratory tract, showed significant anti-viral activity including for certain types of influenza virus16.

#7: For food poisoning

It looks like our ancestors knew what they were doing back in 250 B.C.

A study from the Centre for Infectious Diseases and International Health, Royal Free and University College London Medical School published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, showed turmeric’s efficacy killing strains of H. pylori, which the study notes may offer a viable alternative to antibiotics17.

#8: For burn and wound healing

Another traditional use, wound and burn healing was scientifically validated by researchers at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research18.

Moreover, in 1995 two scientists from the University of Mississippi were awarded a patent on turmeric for wound healing. Unfortunately for the University, this patent was revoked in 1997, when India proved its people had been using turmeric to treat burns for thousands of years.

Hard to argue with tradition, science, and a court order.

#9: For cognition and brain health

There have been some pretty exciting studies on the positive effects of curcumin for neurodegenerative conditions in animals. Now, results of human trials testing the neuroprotective potential of curcumin look promising.

One study by the National University of Singapore reports improved cognitive performance in healthy, elderly adults who regularly consumed curry (of which turmeric is a primary spice)19.

While other research suggests curcumin may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease by preventing amyloid-beta build-up20, one of its primary causes.

#10: For arthritis

A 2012 Indonesian study proved curcumonoid’s effectiveness in treating arthritis of the knee21, while another blockbuster study conducted in India proved both its effectiveness and safety over a common anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac sodium) in treating rheumatoid arthritis22.

These studies offer an excellent examples of turmeric’s nearly unbeatable action as a potent, natural, and incredibly safe anti-inflammatory.

#11: For gastrointestinal issues

Inflammatory disease often begins in the gut. Hence turmeric’s traditional and scientifically-proven benefit to the GI tract.

It has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat diseases associated with abdominal pain. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, I recommend it extensively in my practice.

A study from University of Düsseldorf in Germany showed it efficacy in relation to upper abdominal pain and the biliary tract23—two systems closely connected in TCM.

Animal and human studies have been conducted on turmeric’s potential benefits for IBS, and other inflammatory digestive issues24.

How to get your hands on quality turmeric

You can find fresh organic turmeric in the produce section of your natural foods store as well as at many farmers markets. You can also find powdered organic turmeric in the spice section. You can experiment by incorporating turmeric into various dishes such as soups, stews, curries, and rice dishes, as well as incorporating it into your juices and teas. Best to follow recipes until you become familiar with its properties and how to prepare and incorporate it into your favorite dishes.

Supplementation may be an option, depending on your constitution and health history. It is recommended  to consult with your healthcare practitioner so they can recommend the best turmeric or turmeric/combination supplement for your unique needs.
