Holy Basil is the herb that the Lord used to change my whole life. I was suffering from severe adrenal fatigue and didn't know it. All I knew was that I was afraid to leave the house because of unpredictable panic attacks that happened at all hours of the day and night. I was sicker than I had ever been for weeks, then better in just three days with the use of Holy Basil. Praise Jesus! It's the herb that YHWH used to solidify the understanding that doctors did really understand healing, and that pharma was truly the satanic counterfeit to real, YHWH created medicine.
Holy Basil is an adaptogenic herb, which means it has the miraculous ability to help our whole system adapt to mental, physical, and emotional stress, and to respond to it the way YHWH intended. That's amazing!
It smells like a cross between basil, chocolate, clove, and black licorice and takes me right back to PEACE whenever I breathe it in. (It is featured in my Emerald Shalom blend because of this.) And did you see it offers EMF protection? Praise Yeshua! This is one to diffuse throughout the whole house as the family winds down for bed time. Enjoy!

Our Creater YAHWEH is amazing in all His ways!
