Tulsi Bush
Tulsi tea is made with one of the key plants used in Ayurvedic practices. Its used primarily as an adaptogen – which means it helps your body adapt to stresses and balances the body’s natural flow.
Tulsi tea has quite a reputation in Ayurvedic practices as being the cure-all for many problems as well as being a general ‘elixir of health’.
Some of its claims include:
- Painkilling properties due to its concentrations of eugenol.
- Diabetes treatment due to its lowering of blood glucose levels.
- Cholesterol busting properties.
- High in antioxidants.
- Good for cataracts.
- Some studies have even shown it to treat radiation poisoning!
It has a taste and aroma that takes some getting used to. If you’ve ever drunk a very strong black tea without anything added then you’re getting close to the dry astringency of a tulsi tea.
