Tulsi

Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as ocimum sanctum, tulsi, tulas? (??????) in Sanskrit and Hindi, tulasi (?????) in Telugu, (?????) in Malayalam, (?????) in Tamil, (?????) in Kannada, Maduruthala in Sinhalese) is an aromatic plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is an erect, much branched subshrub 30-60cm tall, with simple opposite green or purple leaves that are strongly scented, and hairy stems. Leaves have petioles, and are ovate, up to 5cm long, usually somewhat toothed. Flowers are purplish in elongate racemes in close whorls.[1] Tulsi is native throughout the Old World tropics and widespread as a cultivated plant and an escaped weed.[2] It is cultivated for religious and medicinal purposes, and for its essential oil. There are two main morphotypes cultivated in India—green-leaved (Sri or Lakshmi tulsi) and purple-leaved (Krishna tulsi).[3]

It is known across South Asia as a medicinal plant, commonly used in Ayurveda, and has an important role within the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism, in which devotees perform worship involving Tulsi plants or leaves.

There is also a variety of Ocimum tenuiflorum which is used in Thai cuisine, and is referred to as "Thai holy basil", or kha phrao[4]—not be confused with "Thai Basil", which is a variety of Ocimum basilicum.

Neem

Neem (Azadirachta indica, syn. Melia azadirachta L., Antelaea azadirachta (L.) Adelb.) is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. It is one of two species in the genus Azadirachta, and is native to India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan growing in tropical and semi-tropical regions. Other vernacular names include Arya Veppu (Malayalam), Azad Dirakht (Persian), Nimba (Sanskrit and Marathi), DogonYaro (Nigerian), Margosa, Neeb (Arabic), Nimtree, Vepu, Vempu, Vepa (Telugu), Bevu (Kannada), Vempu (Tamil) and Indian Lilac (English). In East Africa it is also known as Mwarobaini (Swahili), which means the tree of the 40, as it is said to treat 40 different diseases.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera, also known as the Medicinal Aloe, is a species of succulent plant that probably originated in northern Africa. The species does not have any naturally occurring populations, although closely related Aloes do occur in northern Africa.[1] The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal medicine. It is mentioned in the New Testament (John 19:39–40 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes... ).[2] However, it is unclear whether the aloes described in the Bible are derived from A. vera. Extracts from A. vera are widely used in cosmetics and alternative medicine, being marketed as having rejuvenating, healing, and soothing properties.[3][4][5] There have been many scientific studies of the use aloe vera, some of it conflicting.[6][7][8][9] Despite these limitations, there is some preliminary evidence that A. vera extracts may be useful in the treatment of diabetes and elevated blood lipids in humans.[8] These positive effects are thought to be due to the presence of compounds such as polysaccharides,mannans, anthraquinones and lectins.[8][10][11]

Basil

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) (IPA: /?bæz?l/ or /?be?z?l/), of the Family Lamiaceae. Basil is a tender low-growing herb.

Basil is a culinary herb prominently featured in Italian cuisine, and also plays a major role in the Southeast Asian cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. The plant tastes somewhat like anise, with a strong, pungent, sweet smell.

There are many varieties of basil. That which is used in Italian food is typically called sweet basil, as opposed to Thai basil, lemon basil and holy basil, which are used in Asia. While most common varieties of basil are treated as annuals, some are perennial in warm, tropical climates, including African Blue and Holy Thai basil.

Basil is originally native to Iran, India and other tropical regions of Asia, having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years.
