Holy basil or tulsi (Tulasi)
Holy basil or tulasi should not be confused with the more commonly known basil, though they are cousins. Whereas basil is a leaf used to enliven cooking, Holy basil or tulasi is a clove like plant with a hairy appearance that has special significance in Hinduism and can very often be found growing wild in thick clusters around temples in India, which is more of a healing product than a culinary ingredient. Traditionally anyway, as there is a growing fashion to use Holy basil or tulasi in cooking, particularly in the USA where chefs pioneered this new found usage.
But keeping with its more traditional uses, Holy basil or tulasi is an ancient remedy with particular reverence in the Ayurvedic philosophy.
Ayurvedic prescribes Holy basil or tulasi as an agent of perspiration and as such it is recommended that the herb is taken having
being brewed up into Kapha tea. It can then work in the body and sweat out feverish ailments such as the common cold and sore throats. When taken in this fashion it also has the effect of clearing blocked passageways and so is able to clear up bronchial disorders efficiently and safely.
The juice of the Holy basil or tulasi should also be applied to an afflicted area to combat skin disorders, particularly those such as ringworm and other similar complaints.
It also has particular qualities which seem able to relax the body and give a feeling of the calm within a person when it is taken which enables Holy basil or tulasi to be used successfully as an anti-stress supplement and it is in this  way it should be used for greater effect. Indeed it has been proven to be more successful in relieving stress then the more commonly known, better available and thus more frequently taken ginseng and it is said to be safer too with no known side effects.
Holy basil or tulasi is very much an emerging herb, certainly to the world outside of India and its' full benefits for a healthy lifestyle have yet to be fully explored, its' de-stressing attributes are beyond doubt, but increasingly there is some evidence that it can be equally effective when prescribed as a painkiller, an anti-inflammatory medicine, a treatment for all bacterial, fungal and viral infections and perhaps what will become eventually its' most important usage, there is evidence that it can help lower and control blood sugar levels, which would not only make it a refreshing revitalizing tonic for all, but more specifically and significantly means that it could well end up being a common prescription in the treatment and alleviation of diabetes.
It should be said that these treatments are only at the trialing stage at the moment but there does seem to be good evidence and proper hope that Holy basil or tulasi can become a first-class treatment and a naturally healthy one to boot for all of these afflictions and complaints.
Maybe India is about to lose its' best kept herbal remedy to the whole world, which can only be a good thing for everybody else.
