Tulsi, or holy basil, holds profound importance in Indian culture and holistic medicine for its multifaceted spiritual, medicinal, and environmental benefits. Revered as the “Queen of Herbs” and the “Elixir of Life,” Tulsi nurtures the mind, body, and spirit with its protective grace.
Every leaf carries the essence of devotion, purity, and healing energy, making Tulsi an integral part of daily worship, Ayurvedic rituals, and sacred offerings to the divine.
