Medicinal Value of Tulsi or Holy Basil
Why do people in BHARATH plant Tulsi herb (Holy Basil) right
in front of their door steps? Why not plant rose or jasmine or any other?
I have the answer for you :)
Tulsi is a very great air purifier. It filters air , killing
germs and other pollutants. Pure air gives a healthy mind and body, so it has
become a custom or a tradition in our country to plant tulsi herb near our front gates.
Apart from air purifier there are many other skin and health
benefits from tulsi.
Fever and Cold and
Throat infections:
Tulsi is a main component in Ayurveda, almost in all syrups
and Lehas.
Dry Tulsi Leaves in sun and make a powder of it. Store it
like the way you store Tea powders. Prepare a decoction of it and add it to sugared
milk. This brings down the temperature.
Also simply boiling Tulsi leaves in water and drinking this
extract every 3 hours cools down fever. Gargling
with this is a very good medicine for throat infections. This is very effective
in case of children.
Respiratory
Infections:
Decoction of Tulsi leaves along boiled along with ginger and
added honey is a very good medicine for mucus settled in respiratory track and
also for asthama.
Ulcers and Blisters:
The juice of Tulsi leaves works well on ulcers and blisters in
mouth.
Skin Infections:
The leaves rubbed on the area of insect bites or any
allergies heals down immediately.
Pimples and acne:
Tulsi juice along with honey and sandalwood paste applied
once daily wipes away pimples giving a clear fair complexion.
This was all the tips I got from my Grandmother. These were
the medicines they used in their days.
Apart from our elders experience, it is better to consult
your physician before you intake these Holy Basils Holy water :)
