Tulsi (Holy Basil) Powder (Organic)

Ayurvedic practitioners often call Tulsi the ‘elixir of life’ due to its wide range of health benefits. The ancient Ayurvedic system suggests that it acts as a soothing herb for the body, mind, and spirit. It also promotes a healthy response against occasional stress.

The benefits of Tulsi support human behavior and cognition. They also help maintain healthy mind-body coordination. It also assists the body’s natural defenses and promotes a healthy response against seasonal and environmental stressors. Its active phytonutrients enrich our organs and tissues, which leads to healthy functioning.

Apart from this, Tulsi is beneficial for lung and heart health. It supports the healthy expansion of the chest while supporting the normal formation of Kapha within the lungs. It also promotes mind-body wellbeing through natural rejuvenation.

Tulsi has a complex chemical composition, as it contains several active micro-nutrients and biologically active compounds. The proportions of the phytonutrients may vary depending on different subspecies and even among plants growing in the same geographical location.

The majority of Tulsi's physiological benefits come from the high content of phenolic compounds in it, which are reported to have antioxidant effects on the body.

The best way to consume Tulsi Powder is with Ayurvedic Carrier Substances (Anupanas). Anupana is a carrier substance or vehicle that carries herbs into the body for proper assimilation and full effect. The herb becomes more potent when you take it with the right Anupana.

You can take Tulsi Powder with warm water for all body types.
