HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsi Sweet Rose 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Organic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1.60 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Tulsi Sweet Rose is a tea blend containing 6 active ingredients. The main components are organic chamomile, organic stevia (a non-calorie sweetener), organic lemon myrtle, holy basil (also labeled as tulsi or East Indian basil in this blend), and organic rose.

There is also one inactive ingredient — organic Egyptian rose flavor — which is just for taste.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: stress relief and immune system support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia, anxiety, immune function.
  • The closest evidence on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Holy Basil is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

The evidence for this tea's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. Both stevia and holy basil carry effectiveness ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for their traditional uses — including diabetes control, blood pressure management, anxiety, and respiratory health.

That doesn't mean the tea won't help you feel better, but we don't have clinical trial data backing specific health claims.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stevia Holy Basil

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Holy basil is generally well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects from holy basil are loose stools and nausea — a small number of trial participants experienced these, and they typically resolved quickly.

Stevia also appears well tolerated, with most people experiencing no problems; minor side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea, and muscle aches can occur but usually fade after the first week. Allergic reactions to stevia are rare.

During pregnancy, the safety data advise against holy basil — animal research raises concerns and human safety is not established. There isn't enough reliable data to recommend holy basil while breastfeeding either.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data aren't on file for stevia in supplement amounts.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stevia Holy Basil

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Stevia, Holy Basil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 380 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — holy basil may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you're on diabetes medications (insulin, metformin, glipizide, etc.) — both the basil and stevia might lower blood sugar further.

Blood pressure medications and lithium should also be reviewed, since stevia may affect both.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 gentle herbal tea that combines calming and aromatic herbs. If you take diabetes medications, blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or lithium, check your exact drugs with the tool below before starting — the basil and stevia here could affect how they work.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

organic Stevia3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.
