This allows us to extract a wide range of compounds from the herb rather than relying on powdered leaf or an isolated standardised constituent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter extraction, the alcohol is gently removed under vacuum at low temperatures to help preserve the integrity of the herb's naturally occurring constituents. The concentrated extract is then blended with vegetable glycerine and purified Grander water, producing a premium-quality alcohol-free liquid extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoly Basil\u003c\/strong\u003e has been valued for generations within Ayurvedic medicine as a restorative herb during periods of physical, mental and emotional strain.
