Lupus takes many different forms and affects every person differently. The autoimmune nature of the disease causes extensive inflammation throughout the body and organ systems, so the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of holy basil make it an ideal remedy for this disease. Furthermore, holy basil contains adaptogens, which help your body alter its chemistry to counter imbalances in hormones and enzymes. Lupus can mess with many aspects of your metabolism and organ functions, but the adaptogenic aspects of basil help your body keep the symptoms under control.
