IIn a world where burnouts, digital distractions and sleepless
nights have become the norm rather than the exception,
mental well-being and sleep health has now come to the
forefront of the wellness industry. But consumers aren’t just
looking for a remedy rather they want evidence-backed,
natural solutions that fit seamlessly into their fast paced and
high demanding daily lives. So, what if the key to the solutions
of stress relief, deep sleep, and lasting balance had been
growing right under our noses for over 5,000 years?
Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), has been a
cornerstone in traditional systems of
medicine since time immemorial and is
often called as “The Elixir of Life.”
With its adaptogenic properties that
help the body to navigate through
stress, fatigue, and anxiety, it is a
perfect synergy of ancient solutions and
modern consumer demands. The active
compounds in Tulsi work behind the
scenes like a master conductor, by
regulating the HPA (hypothalamic-
pituitary-adrenal) axis thereby balancing
the neurotransmitters and neutralizing
oxidative stress.

Tulsi: A Sacred Tradition and A Science-Backed Wellness Solution.
Tulsi has been a symbol of protection, healing, and balance for centuries. It has been deeply woven into
cultural rituals like Tulsi Vivah, and has also long been revered for its medicinal power. Today, scientific
research also confirms what these traditions have known all along.
Tulsi, in Ayurveda, is classified as a Rasayana herb that promotes longevity and vitality. Tulsi is also
celebrated for its ability to balance the three vital energies in the body- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha aiding in
immune support, and respiratory health as well.
Incorporated with this ancient wisdom, Ocitum™, the standardized and clinically-backed and ethically
sourced Tulsi extract is designed to integrate seamlessly into premium formulations for stress
management, mood balance, and sleep support thereby bridging Ayurveda and innovation to create
next-gen, plant-based solutions that consumers can trust.
The Science Behind Ocitum™: The Hidden Hands Crafting Wellness.
Ursolic Acid – The Stress Regulator.
Ursolic Acid dials down inflammation, cortisol levels and also protects the body against neuro-
degeneration. It is a natural stress thermostat of the body. It actively aids in the suppression of pro-
inflammatory cytokines thereby reducing the chronic stress burden on the nervous system. By also
interacting with the HPA axis, it helps prevent cortisol overproduction, restoring emotional balance and
calmness.
Eugenol – The Sleep Architect.
Eugenol is a natural phenylpropanoid that acts as GABA-ergic modulator. Which means that it helps in
promoting stable responses of the nervous system. It works by fine-tuning the sleep architecture by
enhancing slow wave sleep and reducing sleep onset latency. This in turn ensures deeper and more
restorative rest.
Rosmarinic Acid – The Mood Stabilizer.
Rosmarinic acid, like a silent guardian, helps to keep the spirits high by preventing the breakdown of
serotonin and dopamine, the “feel-good” duo crucial for emotional stability and cognitive health. By
keeping these neurotransmitters in check, Rosmarinic acid helps to steady the ship during the storm.
Which means it eases anxiety, enhances mood and promotes mental clarity making sure that the stress
doesn’t steal the spotlight.

Beyond Stress & Sleep: Potential of Ocitum
While Ocitum shines as a stress-reliever and sleep supporter
with the rich Tulsi extracts, its benefits also stretch far beyond
the pillow and peace of mind.
Breathe Easy: Natural Respiratory Support.
The bio active components in Tulsi like eugenol and camphene
work as natural bronchodilators and expectorants, helping to
clear congestion in airways thereby supporting effortless
breathing.
Putting Out the Fire: Anti-Inflammatory Defense.
The potent anti-inflammatory duo of ursolic acid and rosmarinic
acid in Ocitum inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduces
oxidative stress.
Thus, Ocitum is a multifunctional botanical designed to act as
a full spectrum wellness boost.
Ocitum, A Clinically-Backed Calm.
When it comes to stress relief and sleep support, Ocitum
delivers results backed by science. In a rigorous, placebo-
controlled clinical study spanning 8 weeks, Ocitum was put to
the test using standardized psychometric and physiological
assessments, ensuring hard data, not just hearsay.
The results? A statistically significant drop in DASS-21 scores,
proving Ocitums ability to enhance emotional resilience and
stress adaptation. Sleep quality also saw a remarkable boost,
with Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) assessments revealing
shorter sleep onset, longer deep sleep phases, and improved
daytime alertness. A nod to Tulsis time-honored role in circadian
rhythm balance! Most notably, Ocitum delivered a highly
significant reduction in serum cortisol levels as well, tackling the
root cause of stress-related neurodegeneration, anxiety, and
metabolic imbalances.
These findings proved Ocitum as a clinically-validated
powerhouse, ready to elevate brands shaping the future of
evidence-based and plant-powered wellness.
