Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Okay folks this stuff works great but as I found out you have to be careful when taking this with Rhodolia which also has MAO-A activity, otherwise effects could be multiplied. (Had no clue that Basil was almost as powerful as Rhodolia in this department.)
I have investigated MAO-A inhibitors somewhat for when I was using Anti-depressants before. I knew about the contraindication when it came to using it with SSRIs or Tryclics Anti-depressants but I had no clue it could also possibly interact (even in smaller doses) with other "Pro-drugs" that mimic and act on 5-HT receptors (seratonin).
In my opinion the effects of Holy Basil are a little less harsh than Rhodolia which signifigantly changes the body's chemistry. Both give you the feeling of "blunt force impact" which is what I use to describe the sensation of a drug that sedates your body's nerve receptors but not necessarily your brain. Do not use this outside as your adrenaline and nonepinephrine levels will drop signifigantly and while stress and blood pressure will be lowered and your cognitive reaction speed remains normal, you might become a bit woozy if too much is taken. DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF SEIZURE AND LOWERING OF THE "SEIZURE THRESHOLD".
For the right person this could work wonders. Judging from the effects I think it could possibly help women the most. For me one a day is more than enough despite the serving size which says to take 2. Eat with the drug so that is absorbed more slowly and to avoid toxicity. This is completely different from the seasoning basil which has been dried out and lost most of it's essential oil content, so do not think you are just popping a pill of ordinary Basil. I believe "Holy" basil is from India which has a more potent form of the plant as well.
Great product for people with High Blood Pressure. Probably works better than any Alpha or Beta blockers the Doctor would prescribe. Signifigantly lowers heart rate, so please do not attempt strenuous physical exercise while using this drug otherwise you could damage your muscles because it affects those synapses which are activated with adrenaline and other "fight or flight" hormones.
