You people, it is NOT Basil. It is Betel leaf, which is Tulsi. Used in Pan Masala etc.

Re: Where I can find Tulsi leaf?

betel leaf isnt tulsi. tulsi is related to basil, but has smaller leaves. what do you need it for, UZ?

Re: Where I can find Tulsi leaf?

Its a form of basil and definately not what u see generally in stores in the herbs aisle or plants section… Like queer said…much smaller leaves than the regular basil has. So if u gotta eat tulsi leaves for a remedy…chewinh on basil aint gonna cut it.

Majorly researched this for mil and cancer treatment… :genius:

Apparently, health food stores have Tulsi Tea (According to wife) - it can be thereapeutic it seems - but she is not sure exactly what it can be thereapeutic for - she thinks it is for the heart.
