What is Tulsi?

“The Queen of Herbs” – is the most sacred herb of India. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), although also known as Holy Basil, is a different plant from the pesto variety of Basil (Ocimum basilicum). Tulsi has been revered in India for over five thousand years, as a healing balm for body, mind and spirit, and is known to bestow an amazing number of health benefits.

Tulsi is rich in antioxidant and renowned for its restorative powers, Tulsi has several benefits:
relieves stress, bolsters immunity, enhances stamina, provides support during cold season, promotes healthy metabolism, and is a natural immuno-modulator

I love “Trigger Switch” tea from Steeped Tea which contains Tulsi, organic rooibos, organic gunpowder, lemon grass, ginger and orange peel.
