There is definite reason why holy basil is highly revered in India and Europe. This tiny plant that belongs to the mint family is said to ward off any kind of misfortune-and more.

Holy Basil is fondly called tulsi or the great "Incomparable One" by the Hindus. It is the most cherished of all as it's gifted with healing powers both for the spiritual and physical element of a person. For them, a tulsi plant in every household represents each family member's serenity, peacefulness, and purity. It invites luck right at their own doorstep. When tulsi traveled to Europe by taking the west route, it was heralded by Christians as a holy plant, the King of all Herbs. It became a staple in every worship and offering ritual and considered as the best gift for Jesus Christ.

But the ultimate strength of the tulsi isn't limited to legends and folklore of great religions. It is from the plant's uncanny ability to improve the lives of its users, especially to those who are sick both in the body and in the mind.

The holy basil plant can improve your endurance and stamina. It can also increase your immunity. It's one of the best fighters against common illnesses like flu, cough, and colds. It reduces inflammation, kills bacteria, and scares away insects. Beauty-conscious individuals can take delight in knowing that tulsi can actually slow down the aging process and free the body with toxins.

It promotes a healthy balance among your organs, especially of your digestive system, the heart, liver, and the lungs. It promotes healthy sets of teeth and encourages you to use oxygen efficiently. Diabetics can manage their glucose with the help of holy basil. Most of all, it protects yourself from radioactive damage.

With the way we live, it's not seldom that we feel the burdens of the world. There's the need to compete, to always fight for the top, and to keep up with everyday changes, especially in the areas of lifestyle and technology. In the end, we get slumped in our chairs feeling tired, burned out, and stressed. We get too sick easily.

A little tulsi, however, can change all that. We can share with the benefits and the kind of homage India and Europe give to it-for a good reason. It has, in every way, solved little troubles. It has helped us stop misfortunes from eating us alive.
