Linn ( L.), commonly known as Holy Basil or Tulsi, is a fragrant herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. This plant is widely cultivated and found in north-central parts of India, several Arab countries, West Africa and tropical regions of the Eastern World. Tulsi is known to be an adaptogen, aiding the body in adapting to stress by harmonizing various bodily systems. Revered in Ayurveda as the "Elixir of Life", Tulsi is believed to enhance lifespan and foster longevity. Eugenol, the active ingredient present in Tulsi, is a l-hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-allylbenzene compound with diverse therapeutic applications. As concerns over the adverse effects of conventional antibacterial agents continue to grow, alternative therapies have gained prominence. Essential oils (EOs) containing antioxidants have a long history of utilization in traditional medicine and have gained increasing popularity over time. Numerous in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies have provided compelling evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of antioxidant EOs derived from medicinal plants for promoting health. This comprehensive review aims to highlight the scientific knowledge regarding the therapeutic properties of , focusing on its antibacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, radioprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, neurogenesis, anti-depressant and other beneficial characteristics. Also, the extracts of L. have the ability to reduce chronic inflammation linked to neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The information presented in this review shed light on the multifaceted potential of Tulsi and its derivatives in maintaining and promoting health. This knowledge may pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic interventions and natural remedies that harness the immense therapeutic potential of Tulsi in combating various health conditions, while also providing valuable insights for further research and exploration in this field.
罗勒（L.），通常被称为圣罗勒或图尔西，是一种属于唇形科的芳香草本植物。这种植物在印度中北部、几个阿拉伯国家、西非和东半球的热带地区广泛种植和生长。图尔西被认为是一种适应原，通过协调身体的各种系统来帮助身体适应压力。在阿育吠陀中，图尔西被誉为“生命之药”，被认为可以延长寿命并促进长寿。图尔西中的活性成分丁香酚是一种1-羟基-2-甲氧基-4-烯丙基苯化合物，具有多种治疗用途。随着对传统抗菌剂不良反应的担忧不断增加，替代疗法日益受到关注。含有抗氧化剂的精油（EOs）在传统医学中有着悠久的使用历史，并且随着时间的推移越来越受欢迎。大量的体外、体内和临床研究提供了令人信服的证据，支持从药用植物中提取的抗氧化精油对促进健康的安全性和有效性。这篇综述旨在突出关于罗勒治疗特性的科学知识，重点关注其抗菌、抗糖尿病、抗癌、辐射防护、免疫调节、抗炎、心脏保护、神经发生、抗抑郁和其他有益特性。此外，罗勒提取物有能力减轻与帕金森氏病和阿尔茨海默氏病等神经系统疾病相关的慢性炎症。这篇综述中呈现的信息揭示了图尔西及其衍生物在维持和促进健康方面的多方面潜力。这些知识可能为开发新的治疗干预措施和天然药物铺平道路，这些措施利用图尔西在对抗各种健康状况方面的巨大治疗潜力，同时也为该领域的进一步研究和探索提供有价值的见解。
