Tulsi-Ayurveda Herb


What is Tulsi?

Tulsi, also spelled Tulasi and referred to as Holy Basil, is an aromatic plant and, beyond its many culinary purposes, has particular spiritual relevance as well. Some Hindus consider a household incomplete without a Tulsi plant and still others provide structural spaces within the home especially for their Tulsi. In other spiritual practices, Tulsi is used to make necklaces.

What are the health benefits of Tulsi?

Tulsi is rich in antioxidant and renowned for its restorative powers, Tulsi has several benefits:
· Relieves stress / adaptogen
· Bolsters immunity
· Enhances stamina
· Provides support during cold season
· Promotes healthy metabolism
· A natural immuno-modulator


"Modern scientific research offers impressive evidence that Tulsi reduces stress, enhances stamina, relieves inflammation, lowers cholesterol, eliminates toxins, protects against radiation, prevents gastric ulcers, lowers fevers, improves digestion and provides a rich supply of antioxidants and other nutrients. Tulsi is especially effective in supporting the heart, blood vessels, liver and lungs and also regulates blood pressure and blood sugar.

"Believe me when I say, we have a lot to learn from the Ancients and their 5,000 years of naturopathic medicine. The herbs were here long before modern day medicine ever came along.
