Benefits and Uses of Tulsi Leaves (Holy Basil) C/S (Cut & Sifted)

1. Adaptogenic Stress Relief

Tulsi is a powerful adaptogen that helps the body combat physical and emotional stress by regulating cortisol levels, promoting calmness, and reducing anxiety.

2. Immune System Booster

Rich in antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds, Tulsi strengthens immunity, fights infections, and may reduce the severity of colds, flu, and respiratory illnesses.

3. Respiratory Health Support

Tulsi acts as a natural expectorant, helping to relieve coughs, asthma, bronchitis, and sinus congestion. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated airways.

4. Blood Sugar Regulation

Studies suggest Tulsi may help lower blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for managing diabetes or insulin resistance when taken regularly.

5. Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief

Contains eugenol and other compounds that reduce inflammation, easing joint pain, arthritis, and headaches.

Tulsi stimulates digestion, reduces bloating and acidity, and may help relieve stomach ulcers due to its carminative and anti-ulcer properties.

7. Heart Health Protector

Helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving circulation and reducing oxidative stress.

Tulsi supports liver function by flushing out toxins and may protect against chemical-induced liver damage.

Antibacterial and antifungal properties help treat acne, eczema, and scalp infections. Tulsi tea or paste can be applied topically for clearer skin and healthier hair.
