This is directed at the C & P guys. Have you guys ever looked into Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil. It's a sacred plant in ayurvedic medicine and widely used in India. Every part of the plant is applied in different manners for a whole range of effects. It is supposedly a very potent adaptogen that fosters higher endurance, lowers stress and generally provides a sense of well being and increased immunity to boot. Apparently it has direct positive effects on multiple organ systems all the way up to the brain and nervous system. I'm not well versed enough to know what constituents of the plant have these direct effects but it seems like it could be used for any number of applications. And from personal experience, I grew it in my garden this year and putting it in a tea makes me feel pretty good! It might be interesting to see what kind of extracts are available and could be utilized for your purposes.
