It is! Super useful! It's one of the holy basils/tulsi, that have a great many beneficial effects in the body, one of which is acting as an adaptogen, helping to being the body back into balance, whether it is overreacting or underreacting. It does help with pain and in healing, so it would likely help with bruises. It truly is a miracle plant! Plants are magic! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
