Preventing Swine Flu with Tulsi
Posted on Sep 04, 2009 by Reena Daruwalla | Comments 0
Now the world is waking up to what Indians have knows literally for ages, that Tulsi (also known as Basil) is virtually a medicinal power house. With the advent of the H1N1 Swine flu pandemic sweeping across the globe and health care agencies scrabbling around in the absence of a vaccine, tulsi is being hailed as a panacea for the Swine flu in India as well as abroad.
According to this article in The Examiner as well as this one on a popular blog, the virtues of Tulsi are being extolled as having remarkable healing properties and particularly being possessed of anti flu properties. The article also speaks about Tulsi being able to improve the body’s overall defense mechanism, including its ability to fight viral diseases and being able to help a patient recover faster.
Ayurvedic practitioners advise chewing Tulsi leaves in the morning as a possible antidote to swine flu. “The tulsi plant and its leaves are very powerful. It has been proved ages ago that tulsi is a resistant force to any virus and taking it will ensure that the body is strong enough to block the virus from entering,” says one expert in Ayurveda. Wearing a Tulsi garland around the neck is another solution, because this way, the virus would not be able to find an entry into the body through the nose or mouth according to experts.
So if you are looking for an effective safeguard to the potentially deadly infection caused by the H1N1 Swine flu virus, which incidentally has been acknowledged now by international medical communities, then perhaps you need look no further than your own garden. Tulsi is a plant that most Indians have at home since it is a hardy and common plant which is known not only for its medicinal value but also for its religious and sacred significance.
