        abstract = {Ocimum sanctum Linn. (Tulsi) is a highly revered medicinal plant extensively described in classical Ayurvedic texts and increasingly validated by modern biomedical research. This dissertation-level theoretical review critically analyzes its taxonomy, morphology, phytochemical constituents, molecular pharmacology, therapeutic spectrum, toxicology profile, and homoeopathic applications. The plant contains bioactive compounds such as eugenol, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, orientin and vicenin, which collectively contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, adaptogenic, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic and cardioprotective effects. Integration of traditional materia medica and contemporary pharmacological findings establishes a robust scientific foundation for further experimental and clinical validation.},
