Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is one of the most revered herbs in Ayurveda, praised for its profound health benefits and spiritual significance. Known as the “Elixir of Life,” Tulsi supports immune function, combats respiratory infections, improves digestion, and helps the body adapt to stress. With its natural antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, Tulsi is widely used in herbal teas, powders, oils, and health supplements.

Whether consumed as tea or powder, Tulsi is a powerful daily tonic that strengthens the body, calms the mind, and uplifts the spirit.
Tulsi has been considered sacred in India for over 5,000 years. Often worshipped as a goddess, it is mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita and Bhavaprakasha for treating a variety of ailments ranging from fever to anxiety. Traditionally grown in every Indian household, Tulsi was not only a spiritual symbol but a cornerstone of natural healing. Its usage has now spread globally due to its remarkable adaptogenic and medicinal properties.
