Excellent for the Lungs and Heart
Tulsi is otherwise known as Holy Basil. As this name implies, it is regarded a sacred plant in many parts of the world. In fact, Tulsi's Sanskrit name, Tulasi, translates to "the incomparable one." Tulsi is considered a heating herb with especially beneficial properties for the lungs, upper respiratory tract, and the heart, also supporting healthy circulation. This particular quality may also contribute to its strengthening effect on the immune system. Its pungent quality further acts to stimulate the appetite and digestion. Likewise, it may be used as a mild nervine to heighten awareness and promote mental clarity.*
