What is Tulsi? - Nirvana Yogasthal
- Tulsi, sometimes referred to as holy basil or Indian basil, is frequently referred to as the "Queen of Herbs" in India. It is planted in practically every Hindu household and is regarded as a holy herb. Tulsi is renowned as both a holy plant and a powerful healer. Its leaves and roots are employed in a variety of medicinal concoctions because they are thought to calm and heal the body and mind.
- This fragrant plant is indigenous to India and is distinct from the basil used in pesto. It is an upright shrub with branching underbrush. The leaves have a strong flavour and scent and are green in colour. Tulsi leaves have an oval form, a slightly pointed tip, and toothed edges. India grows two primary tulsi kinds.
- Despite the numerous marvels of science and technology, modern life is stressful. While industrial agriculture has burdened us with increasing exposure to unhealthy processed and packaged food as well as a plethora of pesticides, food packaging materials, and other toxic industrial chemicals, mobile devices and the web have greatly increased the pace of life, making many people feel as though they are now drowning in an ever-expanding ocean of data.
- Along with rising income inequality, social isolation, excessive noise, air, water, and soil pollution, and a disconnect from nature, urban people must also deal with these issues. Thus, despite the fact that industrialisation has resulted in longer lifespans and enormous population growth, it is now understood that the world's leading chronic diseases are preventable lifestyle-related diseases.
- The lack of physical activity, high intake of sugar, fat, salt, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as exposure to a toxic concoction of industrial chemicals that modern lifestyles are associated with are contributing to the global pandemic of obesity, diabetes, cancer, dementia, depression, and other chronic diseases. Therefore, rather than in hospitals, clinics, or pharmacies, the solutions to the current health issue are more likely to be discovered in people's homes and activities.
