Tulsi For Natural Energy & Stress Relief

Traditional Uses:
Tulsi or Holy basil is sacred and used in morning prayers for personal health and family wellbeing in India. It is considered a rasayana a herb that nourishes a person’s growth to perfect health and promotes longevity. I always take rasayana herbs they are part of my day.

In India they keep a tulsi plant in their homes , for it’s purification purposes. Research shows this plant emits ozone that helps breakdown unwanted chemicals into a safer element and it repels viruses, bacteria and small insects. A natural pesticide and air purifier!

The leaves are brewed and drunk as a tea to reduce fevers, flu’s and colds with a lot of mucous. The tea is also used for upset stomach, nauseousness and vomiting. 

Modern Uses:
Studies indicate that Tulsi is well-known to substantially lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), reduce inflammation, protects your body and brain from the harmful effects of stress, and exerts a positive influence on your mood. 

Instead of getting a prescription medication for your stress, consider trying a traditional, natural remedy.

Holy basil may also help support our natural defenses to help counteract the day-to-day strain of modern life. Dr Jim Nicolai, M.D., says that for his patients with stress-related issues, holy basil is at the top of his list of herbal therapies.
