This is a wonderful herb as well, although I still use ashwagandha for my adrenal issues, this is a common herb for some to use for adrenal issues as well.
Leading applications: Supports cortisol and blood sugar levels.
Here are some of the other benefits of this herb:
Adrenal support
Protects against oxidative damage
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-depressant
Holy Basil oil used topically for arthritis
Fights fatigue and increases energy, endurance, strength, & physical performance
Benefits lungs and entire respiratory system
Chemoprotective and radioprotective
Anti-tumor properties
Regulates blood pressure
Normalize insulin and blood sugar levels (studies show substantial effects of lowering blood sugar levels similar to those of standard oral diabetes medications {2.5 gr dried powder every am})
Supports digestive health (can mildly lower cholesterol & triglyceride levels and is carmative {relieves digestive upset - gas, nausea, vomiting})
Mind and body energy boost
Immune system modulator/enhances immune system
Antibiotic and antiviral and anti-microbial actions (Poultice used topically for it's antifungal and antibiotic actions)
Modulates inflammation

Anti-stress actions
Stabilizing effect on HPA axis
Modulates levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline & cortisol
Hypothyroid benefits
Seeds support kidneys, supports urinary functions, diuretic, have strengthening effect on kidneys
Supports weight management
Increases energy
Enhances digestion
Water extract (tea) increases production of SOD (Superoxide dismutase) and superoxide catalase (see #1 below)
#1= SOD Superoxide dismutase and superoxide catalase functions:
Life Extension - SOD
Science Direct - SOD
Helps prevent gastric ulcers
All credit goes to these authors and their hard work on this book!
