Tulasi information

Tulasi Indications

Ocimum sanctum has proven itself to be a hairy, herbaceous, erect, much-branched, soft annual plant that has crimson or purple flowers. Ocimum sanctum's leaves have become extremely important in medicine nowadays because they are known to yield a precious volatile oil that contains eugenol. This substance is commonly indicated in today's treatments because it possesses insecticidal and antibacterial properties. Moreover, this plant has much more to offer in the case of patients suffering from diabetes. It has been reported that an aqueous decoction of the entirely dried plant (Ocimum sanctum) has the ability to lower the patient's blood sugar levels. The juice that is found in the plant's leaves is known to possess anti periodic, diaphoretic, expectorant and stimulating properties. This is why the juice that is extracted from the leaves of Ocimum sanctum is also widely indicated to patients who are suffering from bronchitis and / or catarrh. Tulasi is also successfully applied to the desired (affected) skin area in diseases such as ringworm or any other cutaneous disorders.
This plant is also known to increase the body's mental and physical endurance; it also increases some animals' tolerance to stressful situations (either physical, biological, chemical, or emotional stress). It has been determined that Tulasi, a medicine based on Ocimum sanctum, possesses both anti-rheumatic but also anti-asthmatic effects. However, Tulasi (Tulasi, also known under the name of Holy Basil Caps) has proven itself to be an extremely potent and effective anti-stress agent, one that is superior to other plants' (such as Panax ginseng and Eleuthero coccus) effects. Tulasi (Holy Basil Caps) has also exhibited highly potent anti-asthmatic results in various experimental models.
The juice obtained of the Ocimum sanctum plant has also other uses, being frequently indicated to patients suffering from viral infections (due to its highly potent and effective anti-viral results). The juice's actions are quite simple: this remarkable leaf extract completely inhibits the growth of three Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains that have been tested so far.
Tulasi is a drug based on a plant that is known to promote the very optimum respiratory support. Tulasi (Holy Basil Caps) is also popular for its proven anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and expectorant properties, which have made it more than extremely useful in disorders such as respiratory tract infections. Tulasi has a great effect in the relief of bothersome respiratory stress.
Tulasi is normally indicated in the treatment of respiratory disorders, viral infections, etc. It is also a very good anti-rheumatic, anti-asthmatic and an anti-stress medicine. However, Tulasin can also be indicated for other purposes that have not been mentioned here. Consult your personal physician for further information regarding this.
