Even some widely used herbs like thyme can be dangerous if used excessively. I realize you are very enthusiastic about tulsi. I am just a bit hesitant and want to learn more about it and see it widely used here for a while before I try it.

Have you seen any US physicians recommending tulsi?

Like I said the US is very late on this here! They don't know all about overseas things they use!

I am getting a plant from the guy at work so you know that is pure! Right now I use Organic India Tulsi, which is the best brand of tea out there! Read up on India Organic Tulsi! I will use no other until I get my plant from him which he grew from the ground up!

I will not use BS contaminated products out here and hear you there, just read up on it more and maybe I can help you to grow a plant or get the best out there, I will keep you updated on my condition with it JK! I will use it and never steer you wrong! I will never lead you to harmful things!

Peace and GOD BLESS!.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
