Abstract
Abstract:A monograph is a comprehensive document, often in the form of a book or pamphlet, that provides scientific information on the safety, efficacy, and quality control of widely used medicinal plants. Through monographs, we study the present status and standards of herbal plants, covering aspects such as synonyms, biological sources, family, chemical constituents, medicinal uses, and pharmacological actions. Tulsi, commonly known as the "Queen of Herbs," is highly valued in Ayurveda and the Siddha system of medicine. All parts of the plant have therapeutic significance and are reportedly free from side effects. Also known as holy basil, Tulsis biological source is Ocimum sanctum, which belongs to the family Lamiaceae. The plant has a broad range of medicinal uses, including antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-asthmatic, antipyretic, memory-enhancing, anticoagulant, and antiulcer activities.Keywords: Holy basil, antioxidant, antifungal, antidiabetic
