Description
Tulsi — also known as holy basil — is considered to be a sacred plant
in Ayurveda because it has important uses as a medicinal herb.
The purple-tinged Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) really
stands out among the neem trees in our greenhouse. Used in religious
ceremonies as well as cooking, tulsi may have medicinal qualities
similar to neem but it’s a smaller plant that’s easy to grow in a sunny
window.
Several studies indicate that holy basil contains bio-available
antioxidants that help prevent damage from environmental toxins like Lindane and arsenic in rats as well as enhanced wound healing.
A recent clinical study on anxiety
confirms the traditional use of tulsi as a calming tea. Other research
indicates that tulsi may have immune-boosting properties in mice. *
While tulsi can be used in recipes that call for basil, it has a much
stronger taste. Most often, it’s used in a tea made pouring boiling
water over two teaspoons of fresh tulsi leaves. Allow to cool and then
strain off the tea before drinking. Our plants range from 4 inches to
9 inches long.
