If you are curious about the various applications of Tulsi in our day-to-day life, here is a post for you. Read on!

• Tulsi herbal green tea

A popular tea variant in India, Tulsi loose leaf tea works like a charm in the changing seasons. This herbal tea helps balance Vata & Kapha doshas and acts as an expectorant to prevent cold and flu efficiently. It also ensures overall wellness by improving immunity and metabolism. 

• Chew it raw

It is a common practice in Indian households for the family members to pluck and chew Tulsi leaves on their way out of the house to school, work, or anywhere else. Eating Tulsi in its raw state ensures the consumption of all the benefits of the herb. If it tastes too minty or bitter, you can always drink it as an ayurvedic tea with a dash of lemon and honey. 

• Tulsi infused ghee or honey

Did you know that you could infuse Tulsi leaves in honey or ghee? Such a mixture upon consumption eases the herb’s passage to the digestive system. And since the Tulsi leaves are being consumed with ghee or honey, they improve the digestive working by helping balance Vata & Kapha doshas. 

• Tulsi fresh juice

For this blend, all you have to do is mix fresh tulsi leaves with water and give it a good mix in the smoothie maker. Once blended, use a mesh strainer to collect the juice separately and enjoy at least once a day.
