But with tax day around the corner, the kettlebell swings and chocolate pretzels just aren&#8217;t working their magic.<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;re bringing in the big guns: herbs.<\/p>\n<p>Certain herbs, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/N-cp99lv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adaptogens<\/a>, are especially popular because of their ability to help the body adapt to stress. Not only do they support our response to the mental and physical stressors we deal with on the reg, but they also support the body\u2019s ability to fight off damage on the cellular level.<\/p>\n<p>One adaptogen, in particular (with a truly awesome nickname, might we add), is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-t-z\/N-cp99m0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tulsi<\/a>\u00a0a.k.a. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-f-n\/N-cp99ly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">holy basil<\/a>. The tulsi plant, <em>Ocimum sanctum<\/em>, has its roots in Ayurveda, an Eastern system of holistic medicine and health practice, according to a review published in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4296439\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But what makes this herb worthy of being dubbed \u2018holy\u2019? \u201cTulsi contains adaptogenic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/antioxidants\/N-cp99id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">antioxidant<\/a> compounds that can have anti-stress, pro-relaxation benefits,\u201d says Brian Tanzer, M.S., nutritionist and manager of scientific affairs at The Vitamin Shoppe. The power players in holy basil include antioxidants like vitamins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-a\/N-87x\">A<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-c\/N-88i\">C<\/a>, ursolic acid, and a phenol (chemicals that give plants a darker color and protect them from their environment) called eugenol.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to helping the body fight off damage from harmful compounds, toxins, pollution, and more, these compounds promote well-being in a number of other ways. For example, one study published in the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.informaticsjournals.com\/index.php\/jnr\/article\/view\/38\/38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Natural Remedies<\/a><\/em> found that 10 milliliters of tulsi extract daily for three months supported healthy blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure in participants.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, research published in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19253862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nepal Medical College Journal<\/a> <\/em>found that 1000 milligrams of tulsi daily promoted feelings of well-being and improved mood in participants over the course of two months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile other adaptogens, like ginseng, are well-known for their energizing effects, holy basil has more of a calming, soothing effect,\u201d says Tanzer. (Think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbal-teas\/N-cp99me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chamomile<\/a> instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/green-tea\/N-cp99mf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">green tea<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, tulsi extract can also be used in herbal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/mouthwash-rinse\/N-8pj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mouthwash<\/a> solutions for a natural alternative to alcohol-containing products. And, according to a study published in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.contemporaryclinicaltrials.com\/article\/S1551-7144(11)00152-2\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contemporary Clinical Trials<\/a><\/em>, a tulsi mouth rinse can reduce <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/microrev00055-0005.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Streptococcus mutans<\/a><\/em> (a type of bacteria involved in tooth decay).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/oral-care\/N-cp99n6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find oral care products you can feel good about.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Adding Holy Basil To Your Daily Routine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to make holy basil a part of your life (this tax day and beyond), it&#8217;s available in teas\u00a0and\u00a0liquid extract. \u201cDrinking tulsi tea is a popular traditional ritual for promoting relaxation,\u201d says Tanzer.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to drink your tulsi, though, you can go for capsule supplements. Look out for terms like \u2018eugenol,\u2019 \u2018ursolic acid,\u2019 or \u2018holy basil extract\u2019 on the supplement label, as well as a typical dosage of 500 milligrams twice a day or 1000 milligrams once a day, says Tanzer.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure to talk to your doctor before adding supplements to your regimen, especially if you take any medications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/31\/ashwagandha-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Many Benefits of Ashwagandha<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we&#8217;re stressed, we often turn to the gym, red wine, or terrible TV.
