“…Some of the main chemical constituents of Tulsi are: Oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, eugenol, carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene (about 8%), β-elemene (11.0%), and germacrene D (about 2%) [24]. Our results revealed a significant increase in plaque pH after 5 minutes and 30 minutes and a significant increase in calcium and phosphate concentration after chewing tulsi leaves.…”

Introduction: Numerous epidemiological studies have documented dental caries as the major public health problems throughout the world. It is gradually increasing in the underdeveloped and developing countries especially in children due to increasing popularity of refined sugars. Aim:The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of natural chewable products (Tulsi, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, coconut) and ACP-CPP chewing gum on plaque pH, calcium and phosphate concentration. Materials and Methods:A randomized controlled trial, with a cross-over study design, was conducted. Ten subjects aged 15-17 years who agreed to refrain from oral hygiene practice for 48 hours prior to the sample collection were selected for the study.

The present review article explains medicinal and therapeutic uses of Tulsi plant in traditional medicine. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum [OS] Linn.) is an aromatic plant belongs to family Lamiaceae. It is traditionally used for preparation of various Ayurvedic formulations for treatment of bronchitis, influenza, and asthma. Hot concoction of Tulsi leaves is usually provided for immediate relief in cold, sneezing nose, cough, malaria, and dengue. This article explains the biological effectiveness of OS against diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, respiratory diseases, arthritis, various microbes, and parasites. Tulsi extracts and its various bio-organic constituents showed antioxidant activity, anti-atherogenic effect, anti-aging, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antistress, hepatoprotective, radioprotective, antihelmintic, repellent and larvicidal activity. Tulsi active ingredients showed anti-inflammatory properties and also play a role in modulation of both cellular and humeral immunity. Plant shows healing properties in hepatic injury and gastric ulcer. It relieves from stress, restore and improve body immunity and digestion. Ocimum basilicum L. contains (-)-linalool, eugenol and methyl chavicol, methyl chavicol (93.0%), gamma-caryophyllene as major constituents. Minor oil constituents are (+)-delta-cadinene, 3-carene, alpha-humulene, citral, and (-)-trans-caryophyllene. Tulsi oil contains high alpha-linolenic acid contents mainly eicosanoid precursor polyunsaturated fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory in nature. Tulsi also contains camphor, caryophyllene oxide, cineole, methyleugenol, limonene, myrcene, and thymol, which are known insect repellents. Its essential oil (EO) can be used to abate the growth of mosquitoes and control malaria. It is a good repellant and can be used for deterring flies, mosquitoes and insects. No doubt Tulsi plant is a good source of natural products mainly phyto-constituents and EO which can be used as alternative medicine for the treatment of various ailments and human health problems but proper composition and appropriate formulation is required before being used.

“…Some of the main chemical constituents of tulsi leaves are: oleanolic acid (Figure 66), ursolic acid (Figure 67), rosmarinic acid ( Figure 68), eugenol ( Figure 69), carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene (about 8%), [89] β-elemene (c.11.0%), and germacrene D (about 2%). [90] A variety of invitro studies and animal studies has indicated some potential pharmacological properties of Ocimum tenuiflorum or its extracts. Recent studies suggest tulsi may be a COX-2 inhibitor, like many modern painkillers, due to its high concentration of eugenol.…”
