HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tulsihills by Herbal Hills

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Tulsihills contains 2 active ingredients: tulsi extract and tulsi powder — both forms of holy basil, a plant used traditionally for stress and wellness support. The product has no inactive ingredients listed.

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 — see Holy Basil's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory tract health and cellular antioxidant support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Respiratory tract infections, Asthma, Stress, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Bronchitis, Immune function — and 1 related terms.
  • 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 Asthma, Respiratory tract infections, Stress.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that tulsi works for any of its common uses. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for generalized anxiety, asthma, headache, respiratory infections, dental plaque, or diabetes.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies so far aren't solid enough for us to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Holy basil seems to be well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety data in humans are limited. The most common side effects we've seen are loose stools and nausea — a small number of trial participants experienced these.

Because animal data raise safety concerns and human safety isn't established, avoid this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Holy Basil.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 212 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 Tulsihills, check if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, or pentobarbital (Nembutal). All three interact with moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners, diabetes meds, or pentobarbital, you need to check with us first. Even if you don't, talk to your pharmacist about whether tulsi makes sense for you, since the evidence for what it claims to do isn't well established yet.

It's generally tolerated short-term, but we don't have strong long-term safety data.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, holy basil seed oil might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet 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.

Tulsihills by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Tulsihills by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tulsihills has a known interaction with 212 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tulsihills contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advise against it in both cases. Animal research raises concerns and human safety isn't established, so avoid Tulsihills during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Does tulsi actually help with anxiety or stress?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. We rated holy basil insufficient evidence for generalized anxiety and other common uses because the studies so far don't give us reliable answers. You might ask your pharmacist whether it's worth trying based on your situation.
What are the side effects?
Holy basil is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are loose stools and nausea — a small number of trial participants experienced these. Long-term safety data are limited, so if you take it regularly, keep an eye on how you feel and report anything unusual to your pharmacist.
Can I take this long-term?
Holy basil appears safe short-term, but high-quality long-term safety data in humans are limited. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, discuss that with your pharmacist first to make sure it's appropriate for you.
What's the difference between the two ingredients — the extract and the powder?
Both are forms of holy basil. The extract is concentrated, while the powder is the dried herb. This product contains both, so you're getting holy basil in two different forms in the same capsule.
