HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsi Honey Chamomile by Organic India
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This tea blend contains 4 active ingredients: organic chamomile, organic fennel, holy basil (listed here as both 'Holy Basil' and 'East Indian Basil'—they're the same plant, also known as tulsi), and honey flavor for taste. The blend is rounded out with organic honey.
Chamomile is the calming base of the tea, while fennel and holy basil add flavor and their own traditional wellness properties.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence backing these ingredients is limited. Fennel is possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain), but for other uses—bronchitis, anxiety, and more—the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.
Holy basil and chamomile don't have reliable evidence for any condition in our records, so we can't say whether this tea will work for what you're hoping it will.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both fennel and holy basil are generally well tolerated as food or tea in normal amounts. With fennel, a small number of people report gastrointestinal discomfort, sun sensitivity, or allergic reactions; rarely, seizures have been reported.
Holy basil users sometimes experience loose stools or nausea—two participants in one study had these effects. Don't use medicinal amounts of fennel during pregnancy because of limited safety data and possible hormone-like effects; food amounts like this tea are likely fine.
Fennel in medicinal doses or as essential oil hasn't been well studied while breastfeeding—food amounts should be okay. Holy basil is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and unsafe while breastfeeding due to insufficient human safety information; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this tea is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you try this tea, double-check the following medication types: blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) because of moderate bleeding risk; diabetes medications because holy basil may lower blood sugar; birth control and hormone replacement therapy because fennel may reduce their effects; CYP3A4 substrates (a wide range of drugs broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4) because fennel may increase their levels; and ciprofloxacin (the antibiotic Cipro) and tamoxifen (the breast cancer drug Nolvadex) specifically, since fennel may weaken their effects.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a pleasant herbal tea, but it's not a proven remedy for any condition. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medication, birth control, or any prescription at all, check your medications through the tool on this page before making it part of your routine.

Tulsi Honey Chamomile by Organic India Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Organic India's Tulsi Honey Chamomile tea contains fennel and holy basil (also called tulsi), both of which have documented interactions with medications.
Altogether, these interactions span 811 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Fennel carries moderate-severity interactions with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) — it may increase bleeding risk. It also interacts moderately with birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy because some of fennel's compounds mimic estrogen and could reduce their effects.
Additionally, fennel may raise levels of drugs broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4, and it might decrease the effectiveness of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and the breast cancer drug tamoxifen (Nolvadex).
Holy basil (including East Indian basil, which is the same plant) carries moderate interactions with blood thinners — it may increase bleeding risk — and with diabetes medications, since it can lower blood sugar. It may also enhance the sedative effects of pentobarbital, a barbiturate rarely prescribed today.

For each ingredient in Tulsi Honey Chamomile with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
organic Fennel
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fennel might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Animal research suggests that fennel oil has antithrombotic and antiplatelet effects.
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Theoretically, fennel might decrease the levels and clinical effects of ciprofloxacin.
Animal research shows that fennel reduces ciprofloxacin bioavailability by nearly 50%, possibly due to the metal cations such as calcium, iron, and magnesium contained in fennel. This study also found that fennel increased tissue distribution and slowed elimination of ciprofloxacin.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the effects of contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, fennel might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research suggests that fennel inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the antiestrogenic effect of tamoxifen.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity, which may interfere with the antiestrogenic activity of tamoxifen.
organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) Blend
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, holy basil seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research shows that holy basil seed oil can prolong bleeding time, possibly due to inhibition of platelet aggregation. However, it is not known if this occurs in humans.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, holy basil might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Small clinical studies show that taking holy basil can decrease fasting blood glucose and other measures of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)
Theoretically, holy basil seed oil might increase the sedative effects of pentobarbital.
Animal research shows that holy basil seed oil increases pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time. However, it is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.
