Tulaspatra(Ocimum sanctum) bharad 500gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Tulaspatra (Ocimum sanctum): 100% pure, dried, and coarsely ground leaves of the Holy Basil plant.

• Active Compounds: Rich in Eugenol, Rosmarinic acid, and Apigenin, which provide its characteristic antimicrobial and adaptogenic properties.

• Form: Bharad (coarse particles), which is superior for boiling as it prevents the loss of delicate volatile oils that can occur during the fine-milling process.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Respiratory Support: Acts as a natural expectorant to clear congestion, soothe the throat, and manage chronic coughs or bronchitis.

• Immune System Booster: Enhances the body’s natural defense mechanisms against viral and bacterial infections.

• Adaptogenic Action: Helps the body cope with physical and mental stress, promoting a sense of calm and mental clarity.

• Fever Management: Traditionally used in Ayurveda to help reduce body temperature and manage mild fevers or “Vishama Jvara.”

• Digestive Aid: Stimulates the digestive fire (Agni), helping to reduce bloating and improve nutrient absorption.

Precautions

• Blood Sugar: Tulsi may lower blood sugar levels; individuals on diabetes medication should monitor their levels closely.

• Blood Thinning: Due to its mild anti-clotting properties, it should be used with caution if you are on blood-thinning medications or scheduled for surgery.

• Pregnancy: While generally safe, excessive consumption should be avoided during pregnancy unless specifically advised by an Ayurvedic physician.

• Acidity: In very high doses, Tulsi’s “Ushna” (hot) potency might cause slight gastric irritation in people with severe Pitta imbalances.
