While searching on google for benefit of using Tulsi Seeds, I found various website/articles miss-quote SABJA as TULSI ... seriously.. it is very very wrong and if any once consume SABJA seeds, thinking it is TULSI seeds than the user will get EXACTLY opposite result.

If any once mix up (confused) between Tusli & Sabja and didn't get expected result than please do not blame Ayurveda.

Tulsi have lots of very very good effect on human health read here

Tulsi Potency: Tulsi has hot potency and known to reduce Cough & Cold
Sabja Potency: SABJA has cold potency and can increase cough & cold

Taste: Tulsi also called as "hot basil" (in cookbooks) because of its leaf taste bitter, spicy taste (Link Here), while SABJA called as Sweet Basil (Link Here)

Basil is English
Sabja is also same.

Keep Sabja seeds in water for 5 minutes and check white substance start covering all over seeds, the same seed we all eat with Faluda at ice-cream center.
Keep tulsi seed in water for 5 minutes no such substance appears over seeds.

Yeah sabja is the one usually used in faloodas and tulsi seeds we use in tea and homely medicines etc. I too have a doubt but the net says both are equal. At my parents place we drink tulsi seed tea..tiny in size compared to sabja but again the net confuses and so the answer taken from the net was unable to post the link.
And important point is both of them come sunder basil family so they are related.
 
Ocimum basilicum - Sabja or sweet basil.
Ocimum tenuiflorum - Tulsi or holy basil.

Tulsi comes in different varieties, like Krishna Tulsi, Karpoora Tulsi, etc. which are commonly known:

I purchased sabja seeds or bassil seeds before few months. the seeds swells when you soak it in water for few minutes. drink the whole water and it ll be beneficial for the stomach. i sprinkle some of the seeds in a pot with soil and after a month got bassil leafs which are different from tulsi leaves and also smells different.
