that may provide powerful immune protection from free radical damage and increase the
body’s capacity to fight against disease and infections. Tulsi may protect against toxin-
induced injury by increasing the body’s levels of antioxidant molecules and enhancing the
activity of antioxidant enzymes.

5. Tulsi has Traditionally been used for Protection from Infection

Tulsi has traditionally been used for it’s anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties
that include activity against many pathogens responsible for infections.  When we have a
fever, it’s proof that our bodies are fighting against an infection. Professor Marc Cohen of
RMIT University in Melbourne published a 2014 paper that explored Tulsi’s effects. In the
case of a cough and cold, Tulsi’s anti-microbial properties may help beat the infection
causing the respiratory problem, as well as boosting defences against infectious threats by
enhancing immune responses. Tulsi has also been shown effective even with severe fever-
causing infections such as malaria and typhoid. 

6. Tea As a Form of Self-Care

Have you ever noticed how therapeutic it is, simply to relax and enjoy drinking a cup of
soothing herbal tea? As a preventative or restorative concoction, tea is a most practical and
accessible form of medicine. The “ritual” of tea drinking is itself medicinal. Tea drinking,
simple as it may be, is a sweet punctuation in our lives, a time to exhale, a time to reflect, a
time for closures, beginnings and transitions, all to emerge
7. Tea is a Delicious Treat

While herbal therapies are often bitter tasting concoctions, Tulsi tea is a flavourful herbal
tonic with a delightful aroma. The pleasant taste and aroma of Tulsi is attributed, at least in
part, to its eugenol content, which also confers medicinal anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties.

When considering that the benefits of Tulsi come in a form that is extremely pleasant and
easy to take, it seems a little wonder that Tulsi is worshipped as the most valued herb in
India!
