Tulasi has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. One animal study found that the oil in holy basil (eugenol) lowers stress-induced cholesterol levels. Tulasi extract can also prevent symptoms of diabetes such as weight gain, hyperinsulinemia, high cholesterol and hypertension. In studies on Tulasi extract, rats that received holy basil extract saw a 24 percent decrease in blood sugar after 30 days. There was also a reduction of total cholesterol in the kidney, liver, or heart in rats with and without diabetes after they ate holy basil leaf powder (Article of Study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296439/).
