Ayurvedic texts describe Holy Basil as a pillar of holistic herbal medicine and a goddess incarnated in plant form (the mother medicine of nature). Many traditional Hindus worship an alter bearing a Holy Basil plant that is placed in the courtyard of their home or in another prominent location. Today Holy Basil remains one of the most cherished of India's sacred plants. The leaves smell of peppermint, cloves, licorice and\/or lemon. There are three types of Tulsi: Krishna, Rama, and Vana. All varieties belong to the mint family and are cousins of sweet basil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKrishna\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(\u003cem\u003eOcimum tenuiflorum\u003c\/em\u003e) is known for its peppery crisp taste.
