A Herb With Proven Benefits

Marc Cohen noted in the Journal of Ayurveda Integrative Medicine that the primary cause of illnesses are lifestyles that predispose people to health problems. Because of its unique focus on healthy lifestyle habits and regular ingestion of adaptogenic herbs, Ayurveda can help with many of these issues. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum Linn) is the most important of all the herbs utilised in Ayurveda, and scientific study is now verifying its positive effects.

Tulsi for Immune System Support

Tulsi, one of the oldest herbs, now bears one of the most modern names: immunomodulator. Scientists invented the term to describe a substance's ability to strengthen and enhance the immune system. Tulsi, like several other herbs and plants in the Ayurvedic medicine cabinet, has been known to have this property for thousands of years.

Tulsi as an Immunomodulator

Tulsi is a well-known immunomodulator in the field of Ayurvedic medicine because of its numerous health-promoting effects on the mind, body, and soul. Immunity, according to naturopathic physician Marisa Marciano, ND, in The Naturopathic Herbalist, is a critical component of the contact between people and their surroundings. It's a metaphor for homoeostasis and the interplay between physical health, emotional well-being, mental vision and perspective.

How to Consume Tulsi for Immune System Support

Tulsi can be consumed in a variety of ways to help with immunity, relaxation, and overall health. One of the most enjoyable ways to drink Tulsi is as a tea, which allows you to be uplifted by its mild, floral aroma and immediately feel the relaxing effects. It works behind the scenes to help your immune system as you relax. As a tea, it's available as a single ingredient or blended with additional flavours for a variety of tastes. Herbal capsules, which can be taken daily, are another option for a concentrated dose. You can also make a paste out of loose Tulsi by infusing it with butter, ghee, or honey.
