Tulsi - A Herb For All Reasons

INTRODUCTION

 

Diseases of modern life - Despite the many wonders of science and industry today, modern life is fraught with stress.

We are in the midst of a global pandemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, dementia, depression and other chronic diseases caused by modern lifestyles and their associated lack of physical activity, high intake of sugar, fat, salt, alcohol and tobacco and exposure to a toxic cocktail of industrial chemicals. The solutions to this current health crisis are therefore more likely to be found in the homes and behaviors of individuals than in medical clinics, hospital or pharmacies.

 

Within Ayurveda, tulsi is known as “The Incomparable One,” “Mother Medicine of Nature” and “The Queen of Herbs,” and is revered as an “elixir of life” that is without equal for both its medicinal and spiritual properties.

 

Tulsi is perhaps one of the best examples of Ayurveda’s holistic lifestyle approach to health. Tulsi tastes hot and bitter and is said to penetrate the deep tissues, dry tissue secretions and normalize kapha and vata.

 

Daily consumption of tulsi is said to prevent diseases

1.     Promote general health, well-being and longevity and assist in dealing with the stresses of daily life.

2.     Tulsi is also credited with giving luster to the complexion, sweetness to the voice and fostering beauty, intelligence, stamina and a calm emotional disposition.

3.     In addition to aforementioned health‑promoting properties, tulsi is recommended as a treatment for a range of conditions including

A)   Anxiety,

B)   Cough,

C)   Asthma,

D)   Diarrhea,

E)   Fever,

F)   Dysentery,

G)   Arthritis,

H)   Eye diseases,

4.  An “adaptogen,” or herb that helps with the adaptation to stress and the promotion of homeostasis,

5.  For protecting against natural toxins produced within the body

6.  Protect against the vast range of pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, radiation and other industrial toxicants created from human activity.

 

CONCLUSION

Modern day scientific research into tulsi demonstrates the many psychological and physiological benefits from consuming tulsi and provides a testament to the wisdom inherent in Hinduism and Ayurveda, which celebrates tulsi as a plant that can be worshipped, ingested, made into tea and used for medicinal and spiritual purposes within daily life. In providing a focus for ethical, sustainable and ecological farming practices that provides a livelihood for thousands of farmers, the cultivation of tulsi goes beyond providing benefits for individuals and households.
