<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOften referred to as the \u201cqueen of herbs,\u201d tulsi (Holy Basil) holds an important place in Ayurvedic and naturopathic systems, where it is valued for its potential to support the body\u2019s natural healing processes. Not only do Tulsi leaves benefit people, but their flowers do too ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. Tulsi can help you manage many health problems ranging from fever to kidney stones}^{2<\/sup><\/a>. Ayurvedic texts have also categorised the wonder herb as a stimulant, antipyretic, and aromatic}^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
In Hindu tradition, holy basil holds both spiritual and medicinal importance. It is commonly worshipped by Hindus across India during morning and evening rituals, and in Ayurveda, it has long been used as a natural remedy for various everyday health concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Is Tulsi?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTulsi, also called Ocimum sanctum or holy basil, is a medicinal herb in the mint family and occurs in about 150 varieties worldwide. When applied to a wound, it emits a spicy scent. It is traditionally said to help clear mucus and phlegm from the respiratory tract, which is one reason it is often referred to as the \u201cwonder herb\u201d. The plant usually tastes bitter, and its roots, leaves and seeds are reported to contain several medicinal constituents ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Tulsi tea is traditionally believed to support weight management and may help reduce anxiety. It has also been used in Ayurveda as a supportive herb for thyroid and diabetes care. The leaves are regarded as being as potent as the flowers, and adding tulsi leaves to hot water for steam inhalation is a common home remedy for a bad cold or sinus ^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

From my perspective, Tulsi has a flavour profile that is both hot and bitter, and according to Ayurveda, it might be able to deeply penetrate the body\u2019s tissues. It is believed to help dry up excess secretions in the tissues and may bring balance to the Kapha and Vata doshas, two of the three primary energies in the body according to Ayurvedic principles ^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n}Dr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
