Vana Tulsi
From the heart of India and throughout Southeast Asia, this sacred herb with a rich history is revered not just for its fragrance, but for its profound healing properties. While three different varieties are mainly cultivated Vana, Rama, and Krishna. We Highlight Vana tulsi, the wild one that what Vana actually means wild or forest or jungle. It’s the wild tulsi often grown three to five feet tall.
Know your source. There is a documented history of products labeled as "Vana Tulsi" , actually the lemon basil. This mislabeling undermines the very purpose of seeking out the authentic plant as these plants have different compounds and benefits.
The essence of this remarkable plant lies in its role as an adaptogen. Imagine a natural substance that acts as a wise guide for your body, helping it navigate the tumultuous waters of stress. Holy Basil is just that. It assists the body in adapting to and resisting all forms of stress—be it physical, mental, emotional, environmental, chemical, or infectious. By doing so, it restores a sense of balance and harmony, a state of overall physiological and psychological well-being.
This botanical marvel doesn't just work on a single front. It is a powerful ally for three of our body's most vital systems: the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Its calming influence is so significant that it has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone. It also has a gentle touch on our metabolism, helping to reduce blood sugar levels and promoting a more stable internal environment.
What's Tulsi's favorite type of music? Anything with a good basiline! And It’s favorite band is Vana Halen.
Beyond its adaptogenic qualities, Holy Basil holds a secret weapon against unseen foes. Its extracts have demonstrated potent fungicidal activity, particularly against the pesky fungi Trichophyton rubrum and T. interdigitale, which are common causes of skin infections. Studies have shown its effectiveness to be even greater than that of the well-known antifungal medication, griseofulvin.
Devin our farmer who grows our Tulsi, is an avid musician and connoisseur of funk music. When hosting garden parties he’ll be laying down tracks on vinyl bath not only the workers but the plants in those bodacious base lines. I’ve personally experienced this and there is something uniquely special and healing about spending an afternoon with friends in a garden then eating bunch of delicious food together.
