What is Tulsi (Holy Basil)?
"The Queen of Herbs" - is the most sacred herb of India.
An effective adaptogenic herb (like ginseng) which helps your body adapt to stress, Tulsi is an even more effective adaptogen than ginseng!
Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), or Holy Basil, is a different plant from the pesto variety of Basil (Ocimum basilicum).
Tulsi has been revered in India for over 5,000 years, as a healing balm for body, mind and spirit, and is known to bestow an amazing number of health benefits.
Traditionally grown in an earthen pot in every family home or garden, Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) makes a delicious and refreshing tea that possesses wonderful health benefits that support the body's natural immune system while relieving the body's negative reaction to stress.
Tulsi's remarkable life-enhancing qualities, are now here for you to fully enjoy. Namaste!

TULSI's HEALTH BENEFITS:
Tulsi, the 'Holy Basil' is rich in antioxidants and renowned for its restorative powers:
* Relieves stress - a powerful adaptogen (helps the body 'adapt' to stress)
* Bolsters immunity
* Enhances stamina
* Provides support during cold season
* Promotes healthy metabolism
* A natural immuno-modulator - regulates the immune system.
"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."
Dr. Ralph Miller, former Director of Research for the Canadian Dept. of Health and Welfare.
Tulsi Helpful in Diabetes:
There have been many clinical studies carried out over the years which have reported that Tulsi leaves reduce blood glucose when administered to people with diabetes. The constituents of Tulsi leaf extracts have stimulatory effects on physiological pathways of insulin secretion which may underlie its reported antidiabetic action.
(Ref : Journal of Endocrinology(2006)189, 127-136. Hannan et al).
Please note: it is important for people with diabetes, to continue with the medicine prescribed by their doctor. Tulsi Tea does not replace your current therapy.
