There is hardly any Indian house which does not have a Tulsi plant in its courtyard. We worship it morning and evening, but do we give equal importance to its miraculous properties? Tulsi is not just a sacred plant, but it is also a lifesaving herb of Ayurveda which has been used for centuries to ward off diseases.
It is believed that if you make it a habit to eat a few basil leaves every morning, then even minor diseases will not occur around you. It not only cleans the air but also acts as a protective shield for our body. So let us know what magic drinking basil water or chewing its leaves does on our health every morning.
Tulsi is considered to be the best ‘immunity booster’ given by nature. It has properties that prepare the body to fight viruses, bacteria and fungal infections. Eating 4-5 basil leaves daily keeps problems like cold, cough and cough that occur due to change in weather away. It keeps the body’s defense system awake.
Tulsi water works as a ‘cleaning service’ for our body. It purifies the blood by removing dirt (toxins), which has a direct impact on the health of our kidneys and liver. When the body is clean from inside, the face also naturally glows. Drinking it on an empty stomach in the morning also improves the metabolism of the body.
In today’s spoiled lifestyle, the problem of blood sugar and blood pressure has become common. Basil leaves are helpful in controlling both of these. It helps insulin to work better in the body and normalizes blood flow by relaxing the veins, which helps in controlling blood pressure.
If you often complain of gas, constipation or indigestion, then Tulsi is a panacea for you. It reduces stomach swelling and improves digestion. Consuming Tulsi every morning on an empty stomach gradually eliminates almost every stomach problem.
Tulsi is very effective in respiratory problems like cold, cough, asthma or bronchitis. Its properties clear the mucus accumulated in the throat and lungs, which makes breathing easier. It also helps in protecting the lungs from the ill effects of infection and pollution.
Its method is very easy. Fill a glass bottle or jug with water at night and put 10-12 fresh basil leaves in it. Leave it like this overnight and drink this water first thing in the morning. This water will not only provide freshness but will also balance the pH level of your body.
So include this simple habit in your life from today itself and give a natural gift to your health.
