Botanical Name: Ocimum tenuiflorum

Country of Origin: India

English Name: Tulsi Powder

French Name: Poudre de Tulsi

Sanskrit Name: Tulasi

Hindi Name: Tulsi Powder

Also Known As: Holy Basil Powder, Sacred Basil Powder

Part Used: Leaves and tender stems of Ocimum tenuiflorum

Description: Tulsi Powder is produced from the carefully harvested leaves and tender stems of Ocimum tenuiflorum, a small aromatic shrub native to the Indian subcontinent and widely cultivated in warm regions. The plant typically grows between 30 and 60 centimetres tall, developing soft green to slightly purplish leaves and delicate flowering spikes during the growing season. Leaves are collected when fully mature and aromatic, ensuring consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.

After harvesting, the plant material is thoroughly cleaned to remove dust and natural debris. Drying is done using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the natural green colour and delicate leaf structure. Once dried, the leaves and stems are finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder, maintaining the recognizable aroma and visual characteristics of Ocimum tenuiflorum while providing a convenient powdered form.

The finished Tulsi Powder displays a soft green to olive tone with a fine, free-flowing texture. It remains stable during storage, retaining both colour and aroma over time. The finely ground consistency allows for easy measuring, blending, and incorporation into various preparations while preserving the natural qualities of the original plant material.

Uses: Tulsi Powder is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and powdered botanical formulations where a smooth, evenly distributed herb is preferred. It is also suitable for culinary applications, cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, and craft projects. Tulsi Powder is frequently included in educational botanical collections to demonstrate the transition from whole leaves to powdered form. Its fine texture allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually uniform plant material.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
