The Tradition of Holy Basil
Holy Basil, known as
Ocimum sanctum
in Latin, has for thousands of years been revered as "Tulsi" in Ayurvedic medicine. "Tulsi" means "The Incomparable One," which is the reality of this majestic herb. Holy Basil is considered the Mother Medicine of Nature in the Ayurvedic tradition. It is "anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory, a "rasayana," or an herb that on its own nourishes a person's growth to perfect health and enlightenment. People in the West find that Holy Basil promotes a positive stress response and elevates their spirit, Holy Basil delivers nutrients to the mind necessary for the experience of enlightenment.
New Chapter
Holy Basil is grown without chemical pesticides or fertilizers in pristine meadows bordering the Himalayas, and extracted with supercritical potency and purity in their laboratory in Germany.
Scientific Confirmation of Traditional Wisdom
Phytonutrients within Holy Basil are some of the most prized molecules in the plant pharmacy. To make a drug from Holy Basil, pharmaceutical companies could deliver those molecules in an isolated form, but that would no longer be the infinitely complex Holy Basil treasured by traditional medicine.
New Chapter, delivers the wisdom of Holy Basil in its most complete herbal form. Maintaining respect for the "prized molecules," and
Supercritical Holy Basil
delivers in Potency Assured levels the five best known "active" molecules: Caryophyllene, Ursolic Acid, Rosemarinic Acid, Eugenol, and Oleanolic Acid.
The scientific world is giving heed to these molecules. In the United States, researchers have determined that Holy Basil's "active" molecules include potent COX-2 inhibiting anti-inflammatories. These "active" molecules' cell protective properties have been studied with respect to cells of the breast and oral cavity (United States), colon (China), prostate (Korea), skin (Hungary), and liver (Korea).* They have also been studied worldwide for their effects on apoptosis and proliferation.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts, but the whole must contain the parts. That is why
New Chapter's Supercritical Holy Basil
is the only source of this herb that provides both supercritical and post-supercritical extracts to capture the fullness of this herb in its purest and most concentrated form.
What Does
Supercritical
Mean?
"Supercritical" means Super Purity, Super Potency, Broad Spectrum, and No Chemical Solvents. New Chapter uses nature's finest herbs and extracts in a unique manufacturing process that yields the highest concentrations without isolating ingredients. The supercritical process extracts more beneficial organic antioxidants and other compounds than other extraction processes.
Stress & Lifestyle Connection
Stress is usually thought of as a negative factor in our daily lives but it is necessary part of life. Without stress life becomes boring. The key to stress, as with everything else in life, is balance. Enough to keep you interested but not enough to become overwhelmed. Individuals have different thresholds for stress. What is seen as stressful to one person may not be stressful to another.
The result of constant stress can be tense muscles, headaches, stomach cramps, teeth grinding, decreased immunity, exhaustion and insomnia. Emotionally stress can lead to memory problems, depression, emotional outbursts and panic attacks. It is believed that constant stress is a factor in the development of many chronic diseases.
We often ignore the first signs of stress, such as headaches and insomnia, and use medication to stop the symptoms. We use stimulants, like caffeine, to allow ourselves to keep working when the body is trying to tell us to slow down. The masking of stress symptoms eventually causes the body to breakdown. The standard North American diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your body usable energy, but they also inhibit the use of good quality food by depleting enzymes and hormones necessary for energy conversion. The body must also deal with the toxic by-products of foods like bleached flour and sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavours and trans-fatty acids. All of these stressors compromise the health of an individual.
Irregular sleeping and eating patterns make one susceptible to stress related illness. Sleep is an essential component of our body's repair mechanisms. During sleep the body is in an anabolic, or building, state. It has time to regenerate cells and replenish hormones, enzymes and neurotransmitters. Insomnia prevents the repair of normal damage from the body's daily activity. The brain also requires sleep in order to process information that is learned throughout the day.
Irregular eating patterns stress the body by not providing nutrients at regular intervals. When the body is lacking nutrients it compromises the body's functioning. When an individual finally does eat the body rushes to use the nutrients and store whatever it does not need, in anticipation that the next meal may not come for a while
Lack of exercise contributes to stress by compromising the circulation of all molecules around the body, including food particles, oxygen and hormones. Circulation is also responsible for flushing waste products out of the cells and taking them to the appropriate organs for processing and excretion. The venous system contains no values so blood flow back to the heart is dependent on movement of the surrounding musculature. Exercise also removes tension from muscles and offers an outlet for unexpressed emotions.
Help Reduce Effects of Stress by:
Doing exercise you enjoy, regularly.
Reducing stress through techniques such as meditation and deep breathing.
Relaxing with yoga or tai chi.
Developing regular sleeping patterns.
Consuming fresh fruits & veggies daily.
Getting enough B vitamins by supplementing and eating leafy green and whole grains.
