WORSHIPPED herb helps SHORE UP immune defenses [Beyond compare!]
Ever notice how life seems to kick you when you’re already down?
Take, for instance, any stressful time in your life…
And chances are, THAT’S when you’ve caught a cold (or worse).
It could be when you’ve taken a trip… are mourning a loved one… or even dealing with debt and other money matters.
That’s when something opportunistic could STRIKE.
But fortunately, there’s a way to help keep immune defenses strong… even in the face of adversity.
And it’s revealed in the pages of an ancient Sanskrit text… written 3,000 years ago!
In the Sanskrit language, tulsi is known as “the incomparable one”…
And its Latin name, Ocimum sanctum, translates to mean “holy basil.”
But while it DOES belong to the basil family (Lamiaceae)… tulsi ISN’T your garden-variety culinary herb!
The most ancient religious texts of Hinduism call it the most sacred plant on earth… and Hindus LITERALLY worship the plant for its purifying powers.
But its significance isn’t just spiritual.
This antioxidant-rich herb also helps support healthy immune function.
Not only does it help directly FIGHT OFF infection-causing bacteria and viruses…
But according to research, it also helps “rally the troops” in your immune system…
Helping to UNLEASH beneficial inflammation…
And DEPLOY certain immune cells, like T cells… natural killer (NK) cells… and more.
But that’s not all…
Tulsi is classified as a type of stress-busting herb, called an adaptogen.
Adaptogens are known to promote overall wellbeing and resilience to stressors…
And if there’s one thing that could COMPROMISE your immune defenses… it’s STRESS!
So theoretically, that could play a role in how tulsi could help ENHANCE immunity.
Even better, a 2017 meta-analysis found that people who’ve participated in clinical trials have experienced ZERO adverse events.
There are two types of tulsi, Shyama (or Krishna) and Rama… though some evidence shows that Shyama (“the dark one”) is the more medicinal of the two.
In India, it’s most commonly consumed as a hot tea – and you should be able to find tea bags of tulsi at your local health food store or Indian specialty store.
Here in this country, you’ll probably find it in powdered form or as a liquid extract labeled as simply “tulsi”… though translations vary and may call it “tulasi” or “thulasi.”
A clinically studied dosage is 300 mg daily.
According to Ayurveda, you should take it on an empty stomach.
Look also for tulsi as an ingredient in an immunity support formula by a quality maker.
