In Ayurveda, Tulsi is also referred to as holy basil and the Queen of Herbs. Tulsi leaves are often used to treat respiratory conditions, reduce stress, and boost immunity. Good health can also be achieved by consuming Tulsi tea or water infused with its leaves.
The following are some of the main advantages:
Reduces stress and improve mental calmness.
Clears mucus and supports lung health.
Strengthens the body’s defenses against infections.
Support cholesterol and blood pressure maintenance.
Do you consume tulsi in any form ? What are your thoughts on this?
Tulsi really is a powerful herb. When used in winter in teas, it definitely helps with sore throat and congestion. In future, if included in modern medicine practices, it can create a big impact.
Yes, Tulsi has been used as a herbal medicine since ancient times. It helps to boost immunity, has antioxidant, antiseptic, and antimicrobial activity.
Tulsi is really amazing, be it for stress relief or for immunity, it’s like nature’s all-rounder. I don’t consume tulsi directly, but I do have pesto which uses a different kind of basil (sweet basil) but still from the same plant family. Funny how one heals us in chai and kadha while the other makes our pasta taste delicious.
Tulsi is such a perfect example of how Ayurveda and modern science overlap.
From adaptogenic properties that help manage stress, to antimicrobial compounds that support respiratory health—it’s not just a “home remedy,” it’s biochemistry at work. I personally feel Tulsi tea is the gentlest way to keep immunity strong, especially during season changes.
What’s fascinating is how something so simple, like a leaf in our kitchen garden, holds benefits equal to expensive supplements. Maybe the real lesson is: prevention starts with plants, not pills.
