Abstract:

Objective: The main objective of this review is to provide a platform to learn about the importance of Ocimum. A genus known to the entire population of India as Tulsi. Special attention has been paid to literature reports describing the use of Tulsi and cancer.

Methods: The importance of the plant and the active ingredient is described here in the relevant bibliographic references. The use of the plant would be much more important for the drug distribution scientist to develop a special formulation of the crude drug, which, in the future, will be a magical therapeutic agent with many benefits.

Examples have been presented in which the plant is used and its use for its antibacterial activity.

Results: A prestigious group showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of OS in E. coli and V. cholera.

Conclusion: The pooled information focuses on the fact that O. canum extracts were found to be the largest and most active zone of inhibition.
