Emotional dissonance is something we all experience at one time or another. It's a normal part of life, but it's uncomfortable. The options for dealing with it aren't always helpful. Today we invite you to consider an unlikely remedy- tulsi.
History
Tulsi (also known as holy basil) is a plant that has been revered among different cultures for centuries.
Ancient Indians and Egyptians used tulsi in sacred burial rituals to bathe the dead. The Egyptians used it as part of their embalming ingredients.
In Mexican and European cultures, tulsi is a protective herb and a good luck charm. In Italy, a woman will leave a pot of the plant on her balcony when she desires to see her lover.
Apart from protection and transformations, tulsi is an excellent herb for physical healing.
Internal benefits
Here are a few of tulsi's numerous internal uses and benefits.
ADAPTOGENIC AND CALMING
Tulsi helps with stress and adrenal fatigue over time by affecting the adrenals. It boosts your body's ability to resist the damaging effects of stress, as well as combating spasms.
MINERALS
Tulsi is rich in iron, vitamin C, antioxidants, magnesium, and other healthy phyto-nutrients.
IT'S A MOVER
Tulsi moves things, both emotionally and physically. For the latter, it's a circulatory stimulant (moves the blood), diaphoretic (makes you sweat), bitter (stimulates digestive system), emmenagogue (helps to start menstrual flow), and an expectorant (removes mucus from the lungs).
ANTI-MICROBIAL
Tulsi is excellent for alleviating chest colds or other bacterial illnesses involving the lungs. It removes congestion and relieves aches.
FLOWER ESSENCE
Flower essence uses only the flower of plants to help connect the subtle energies between the emotional and physical aspects of life.
Tulsi flower essence helps you understand your nature more. It enables you to harmonize your sexual, emotional, and spiritual life into one.
