Basilic sacré
Ocimum tenuiflorum · Holy Basil
Ocimum tenuiflorum, commonly known as holy basil or tulsi, is a traditional plant in Ayurvedic medicine and other Indian herbal practices. Traditionally, it has been used for various purposes including respiratory health, stress relief, and general well-being, though no specific recorded uses pertain to the exact species O. tenuiflorum. Scientific evidence suggests that Ocimum tenuiflorum may have potential benefits in managing hypertension through its ability to suppress ACE activity when consumed as a fermented beverage for six weeks. Additionally, studies indicate that AgNPs (silver nanoparticles) at 60 ppm can significantly increase the content of eugenol and rosmarinic acid while enhancing gene expression in O. tenuiflorum. Furthermore, CuS/oxalic acid-modified Ocimum tenuiflorum biosorbents show high methylene blue adsorption efficiency under alkaline conditions, highlighting its potential for environmental applications. Safety profiles of Ocimum tenuiflorum appear to be favorable with no major issues recorded. There are also no reported drug interactions associated with this plant, suggesting it is generally well-tolerated and safe for use in traditional practices.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a montré que l'administration d'un breuvage fermenté d'Ocimum tenuiflorum pendant six semaines a conduit à une restauration partielle des paramètres affectés par l'hypertension rénovasculaire, impliquant la suppression de l'activité de l'ACE.
- Les AgNPs à une concentration de 60 ppm ont considérablement augmenté le contenu d'eugénol et d'acide rosmarinique ainsi que l'expression génique associée chez O. tenuiflorum.
- Les deux espèces d'Ocimum ont accumulé le Cd dans les racines, avec O. basilicum montrant une absorption légèrement plus élevée mais une meilleure préservation physiologique sous stress.
- Un biosorbent modifié avec CuS/oxalique d'Ocimum tenuiflorum a réalisé une suppression de jusqu'à 94,73 % du bleu méthylène sous les conditions optimales.
