Tulsi Elixir
Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Holy Basil, is an aromatic medicinal plant native to the Indian subcontinent and is a widespread and cultivated plant all over the Southeast Asian tropics, including where I live, in the Australian sub-tropics on Gumbaynggirr country. She holds a sacred place in Indian culture and is worshipped as an avatar of Goddess Lakshmi. Tulsi is considered a tonic for the mind, body, and spirit.
Tulsi is potent medicine for these times. At her most basic level, she embodies the idea that conscious raising and healing requires a basic level of balance in the body. As articulated beautifully by Naturopath Claire Murray, Tulsi “helps to bring together what has been seperate.”
Tulsi’s power really shines through her impact on the control centre for the body - the nervous system. As an adaptogen Tulsi can help you adapt to stress stemming from physical, environmental and emotional stimuli. Tulsi can lower cortisol levels, soothing frayed nerves and can also support those experiencing chronic conditions like long-term PTSD, depression and anxiety.
Tulsi also has nootropic action, meaning it has cognitive enhancing effects such as improving memory and focus. This is a result of this herb being a circulatory stimulant and a nervine which both contribute to optimal brain function.
By supporting the body’s immune modulation and detox systems, Tulsi can help protect against radiation and environmental toxins, moderate histamine levels, and assist during respiratory events such as colds, cough, asthma, bronchitis and congestion. In Ayurvedic medicine Tulsi is also utilised for skin, gastrointestinal and arthritic/joint conditions.
Tulsi supports the cardiovascular system physiologically and emotionally. Considered a shen tonic, Tulsi is a powerful ally for uplifting and opening the heart and mind in challenging times and has an affinity for helping people move through “stuck” conditions.
It’s easy to see why Tulsi is sacred in India. She is truely abundant in her gifts and lives up to her title as “Queen of Herbs.” Tulsi is here for anyone who’s in need of some immune, emotional and nervous system support.
