Holy Basil

[Toasty]

I'm convinced there is a secret to the basil plant.

Holy basil (tulsi), one of india's most revered deities.
And the essential oil "just happens to be" psychedelic if you activate it with dozens of activators and inhibitors...

But the hindus didn't use our complex system of inhibitors.
So...

This is pointing towards the plant itself.

Could tulsi juice or leaves have activators in it that work best while fasting?

I want to try this out in the future.

Meanwhile I've been tiptoing with basil oil itself and have gotten a little bit of activation.

I mean, it's literally called "The Incomparable One." Why, if it's just basil?

I am intrigued by Holy Basil as well, Toasty. It is an Ayurvedic herb with numerous health benefits, including being an adaptogen. I actually grow my own Holy Basil right now, amongst other plants. How should I utilize the plant matter? Tea? I have a vaporizer and I can try inhalation.

Very interesting!
Wiki says: Some of the main chemical constituents of tulsi are: oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, eugenol, carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene (about 8%),[15] β-elemene (c.11.0%), and germacrene D (about 2%).
On a Dutch site specialized in a great variety of Essential Oils, the Tulsi plant is believed to have an aura that reaches out to 3.2 km. Not sure if this is true, but it sure adds to the magic beliefs referring this sacred plant.
