What Is It?

Have you ever heard of tulsi?  Well, if you haven't, you're about to regret you didn't for so long.  Tulsi is truly a miracle herb.  I say that loosely, because tulsi is no miracle.  It has been around for millennia.  And for just as long, has been prominently recognized as an excellent treatment for a vast range of ailments.

The Most Powerful Adaptogen

Most notably, tulsi is known as a potent adaptogen or antistressor.  That means it is the premier herb for treating the full range of stressors and returning your body to a normal state.  Serving as an adaptogen is the most broad, overall benefit of tulsi.

The range of stressors includes physical, mental, biological, emotional, and circumstantial stressors.  Examples of these are temperature, depression, infection, anger, and divorce respectively.

These days it seems stress is everywhere.  Our current world society, with all its advancement and modern civilization, has brought with it a host of overwhelming stressors; pollution, poor nutrition, competitive lifestyle, noise, fears, and synthetic drugs, to name a few.

Tulsi serves to treat all stressors on your body and restore normal functioning.  That's really amazing!  That is one reason tulsi is referred to as the Queen of Herbs.  The remarkable benefits of tulsi have been documented for thousands of years.  And, there is no shortage of scientific evidence to support claims either.

Even though tulsi has only recently started to gain recognition in the West, there has already been a ton of scientific researchers eager and racing to experiment with the astounding features of tulsi; as if it were a new discovery.   With an herb as beneficial as this, it's just fascinating how long it took to get research time in western culture.

Types Of Tulsi

Tulsi is administered in three main forms depending on the problem and availability of the herb.  It can be delivered in fresh, raw form where leaves are picked from the branches.  It can also be given in dried leaf form, which is typically capsules, or as an herbal tea.

For most of us, it may be unrealistic to grow our own tulsi gardens.  In that case, capsule and herbal tea forms certainly sound the best.  And did I mention, tulsi has no negative side effects.

There are still very few companies that provide tulsi capsules or herbal tulsi tea.  I suspect that number will rise dramatically very soon as more and more physicians, scientists, herbalists, and tea manufacturers get wise to the Queen of Herbs and her abundant healing powers.

When taking tulsi as part of general health and prevention, the suggested dosage is 600 mg daily.  For treating a specific condition, it is recommended the dosage should be increased to 600-1800 mg daily, depending on severity of the condition.  One capsule typically contains 300 mg, and one herbal tea bag typically contains 1800 mg.

Regardless the root of your dis-ease, whether it be anxiety, a physical discomfort, allergens, family problems, or environment such as work, home, or school, implementing tulsi into your life is the place to start.

It seems only a wise decision to begin at the beginning.  Start by decreasing your overall general level of physical and emotional stress so that you can focus on each area of more acute stress with more clarity and energy.

With tulsi being the best known natural remedy for overall stressors, it is essential as a part of your hectic daily life.  Take control of your energy and reclaim your stability naturally.
