Health Benefits of Tulsi

Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, is considered a tonic for the body, mind, and spirit. It helps your body adapt to stress and promotes mental balance.

Holy basil is also high in antioxidants and helps your body detox. Studies show that holy basil can protect your body against toxic chemicals. It may also prevent cancer by reducing the growth of cancerous cells.

Tulsi is also antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic (a painkiller).
 
If you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, all parts of the Tulsi plant can help reduce your blood sugar. Animal and human studies have shown that holy basil can help prevent symptoms of diabetes such as weight gain, hyperinsulinemia, or excess insulin in the blood, high cholesterol, insulin resistance and hypertension.
