Tulsi Tea (Holy Basil Tea), What Are The Benefits?
Tulsi tea offers a wide variety of suggested health benefits as do all teas and herbal teas do.
Tulsi tea which is also known as holy basil tea, is an herb native to India but also grows wild in the tropics and other warm regions.
Folks have been using the leaves of the tulsi plant dating as far back as 5000 BC.!
Although Tulsi having the word "tea" at the end of its name, is not a real tea, but instead is an herbal tea. That is, it does not come from the same Camellia sinensis bush as traditional white, green, oolong, and black teas do.
Some health benefits offered by drinking Tulsi herbal tea are...
Helps fight infections and increases the immune system due to its high antibacterial and antiviral properties.
May help folks who suffer with arthritis and headaches by abating inflammation.
Helps with digestive issues and gastrointestinal problems and may help cure certain ulcers.
Lowers cholesterol and promotes a healthier heart.
Tulsi tea when blended with honey and ginger, makes an all natural herbal remedy for asthma, influenza, and bronchitis.
The brew of this herbal tea also helps relive sore throats and is useful against cough and cold symptoms.
Like Essaic tea, it is good for the circulatory system and helps purify the blood.
Can help prevent and reduce feverish conditions.
Is good for the nerves and has evidence in sharpening memory as well as acting as an anti-stress agent.
Tulsi herbal tea is another herbal tea on my list that I haven't tried yet...so at this time I cannot give an opinion on how it tastes.
I will update this page soon after I experience tulsi herbal tea, as well as recommend a good online merchant where you can pick some up.
