Native to India and Southeast Asia, it has been cultivated for centuries for its spiritual and health-promoting properties. The plant is considered sacred in many cultures, symbolizing purity and connectedness.

Uses: Red Leaf Holy Basil is widely used in cooking, especially in Thai and Indian cuisines. It's also a staple in herbal teas and is valued for its potential health benefits, including stress relief and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, its vibrant red leaves make it an attractive ornamental plant.
