TULSI 300mg

TULSI 300mg

Called the queen of all herbs, Tulsi is widely used in Ayurvedic and naturopathic medicine, which aids in healing naturally. 

Stress / Anxiety

Tulsi benefits many types of stress, including physical, mental and metabolic. For physical stress, Tulsi is a powerful antioxidant, supporting the body in its detoxification efforts. It increases the activity of endogenous antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase. If we are mentally and emotionally stressed, the level of free radicals in the body increases. Holy basil has been shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), due to its rich phytochemical content. Three specific compounds are responsible for this action: ocimumosides A and B, and 4-allyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-hydroxybenzene - the latter has shown anti-anxiety properties in the laboratory. As an herbal adaptogen, Tulsi helps restore balance to the endocrine system and hormones. Hormonal imbalances can cause a host of problems, including insomnia, fatigue, digestive problems, depression, weight gain and more. The Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine reports that Tulsi has anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties that are comparable to diazepam and other antidepressants. One study found that people who took 500 mg of Tulsi extract daily experienced significantly less anxiety and depression and felt more sociable.

Oral health

Chewing Tulsi leaves to support dental health has been part of Indian culture for thousands of years. Modern science has discovered that the herb contains many phytochemicals that fight oral bacteria, relieve toothache pain and combat Candida. Containing antimicrobial agents such as caracrol and tetpene, Holy Basil may be an effective remedy for common oral infections. A study published in The Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry found that a mouthwash containing Tulsi "was comparable to chlorhexidine in terms of antiplatelet effect, with no statistically significant difference between the two." In addition, the same study found that the herb does indeed have strong antibacterial properties. It was shown to be effective against two proven periodontopathogens, P. intermedia and F. nucleatum.

Respiratory health

Tulsi leaves are rich in the compounds camphene, eugenol and cineole, which help relieve congestion and provide relief from symptoms of many other respiratory disorders. In the case of asthma, a study of asthma patients showed that 500 mg of dried Tulsi leaves taken three times a day improved vital capacity and provided relief of asthma symptoms within 3 days. Holy basil is also "anti-cough," meaning it helps relieve persistent coughs and has immunomodulatory properties. Thanks to its anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties, Tulsi is also effective in treating allergic respiratory disorders such as hay fever.

One of the most interesting facts about the chemical composition of the Tulsi plant is that it is extremely complex, resulting in different levels of chemicals in each sample. The different chemical composition of each plant depends on environmental factors such as soil, altitude and Tulsi variety. It has even been found that individual Tulsi plants grown in the same field can vary greatly in chemical composition. In trace elements, Tulsi contains vitamin A and C, as well as zinc, iron, chlorophyll and phytonutrients. The following are typical phytochemicals that can be found in varying amounts in each plant:

• Oleanolic acid, 
• Ursolic acid, 
• Rosmarinic acid,
• Eugenol, 
• Carvacrol, 
• Linalool, 
• β-caryophyllene, β-elemen and germacrene D. 

Tulsi can reduce the effectiveness of blood clot formation. It is recommended to stop taking Tulsi two weeks before a planned surgical procedure.
