The Queen of Herbs

Holy Basil or Tulsi

 

Looking for something simple to help you get through the day? ⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if you could reach for a tea that not only soothes your nervous system, improves physical endurance, cognition & digestion, reduces mucous in the nasal cavity and the lungs and helps to balance cortisol levels, blood sugar and cholesterol?

Would that help?

Holy Basil or Tusli Basil has so many remarkable properties – in Ayurveda it is classified as a Rasayana herb – one that nourishes a person’s growth to perfect health and promotes long life.

Its useful to know that there are several types of Tulsi –

1-Rama – this sweet herb has green leafs and purple flowers and an aromatic smell similar to cloves and is used similarly.

2-Krishna- this is also known as purple leaf tulsi and also has a clove like smell but a peppery taste. Its useful for infections, sore throats,  respiratory issues, skin issues, indigestion and insomnia.

3-Vana- with its light green leaves and a lemony smell and flavor, this is the one that is most prized for its benefits to energy, memory and improved oxygen in the bloodstream.

Knowing which herb you are getting is important so make sure you purchase from reputable sources and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

With studies that show benefits ranging from improved skin conditions, anti-aging benefits, improved mood, memory and focus as well as weight loss and digestion – its important to know which herb is best for you.  I’m always happy to help – pop me a line or schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

Basic directions:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For adults cover and steep 3 tsp in 1-2 cups of hot water per day. Some see greater benefits with a higher dose and is generally safe for long term, daily use.

Kids can benefit from its many properties as well as it has been shown to be beneficial for ADHD and poor memory. 🤓 Dose is dependent upon weight.

Its lovely at the end of day, blended with rose or chamomile or nettles and a touch of lemon balm (or all of the above!) In fact, I think I’ll go make a cup now!
