Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is a sacred plant in India, revered in rituals, mythology, and believed to ward off negative energy.
Tulsi leaves are offered in Hindu temples, consumed as theerth jal, and applied as sandalwood paste for spiritual purification.
Traditionally, tulsi is planted in homes for its auspiciousness and is believed to protect against negative energies.
Holy basil has been used in Ayurveda for 3000 years, with Eugenol as its bioactive compound providing numerous health benefits.
Consuming tulsi can boost immunity, manage diabetes, and treat skin conditions, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
Tulsi plants act as natural insect repellents, contributing to the prevention of vector-borne diseases and preserving ecological knowledge.
