While holy basil is generally considered safe for most people, it can interact with certain medications, including clonazepam, which is a benzodiazepine. Both substances can have calming effects, potentially leading to increased sedation or drowsiness when combined. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before taking holy basil with clonazepam to ensure safety and avoid any adverse interactions.
Xanax or other benzodiazepines would be my guess. You should ask your doctor, but I used to take clonazapam and they switched me to xanax.
You need to consult your physician or a pharmacist. The answer is likely to depend on (1) the reason why you were prescribed clonazepam and (2) what other medication you are taking. Even if the answer is yes, there's still the question of the dose.
the best one right now is Tempra200 if it hurts allot buy Tempra500.
According to the website I looked at it should be safe -- but I recommend talking with your doctor before you start taking any sort of herbal products on top of prescription medicines. The doctor needs to know every medication you are taking, not just the prescription ones. Also remember that herbs have side effects like any medication. If you begin to experience any unusual effects, stop the basil at once and talk to your doctor.

Basil takes about 1-2 months to grow.
I have been taking Holy Basil for 3 months and have not noticed any negative side-effects. On the positive side, I have not had a single asthma attack while on this herb. I started taking Holy Basil in pill form as a way to reduce asthma symptoms in the winter. My doctor had been prescribing a steroid inhaler which I found unbearable, but after repeated requests (two years) to change my medication he kept insisting I continue taking it. Last winter, in preparation for my seasonal asthma and allergy episodes, I decided to give Holy Basil a try hoping that would reduce my symptoms and reduce the amount of steroids I would have to take. I was thrilled when I realized that I made it through the winter without a single asthma attach. This is amazing considering that I have been asthmatic for six years and have been dealing with highly unpleasant side-effects of using a steroid inhaler.

Yes, basil can multiply through various methods, primarily by seed propagation and through cuttings. When planted, basil seeds can germinate and grow into new plants. Additionally, you can take cuttings from an existing basil plant, place them in water or directly in soil, and they can root to form new plants. This makes basil easy to propagate and expand your herb garden.
