Tulsi is easy to integrate into your daily life through tea, tincture, capsules, fresh leaves, and topical applications.
1. Tulsi Tea
The most common and beloved way to enjoy Tulsi is as an herbal infusion.
To make:
- Add 1 teaspoon dried Tulsi (or a handful of fresh leaves) to 1 cup boiling water.
- Steep covered for 10–15 minutes.
- Drink 1–3 times daily for stress relief and immune support.
Best time: Morning for clarity, or evening to unwind.
You can blend Tulsi with herbs like lemon balm, rose, chamomile, or ginger for enhanced benefits.
2. Tulsi Tincture
Tulsi tinctures offer a concentrated, alcohol-based extract.
Dosage: 30–60 drops in water, 2–3 times daily.
Use for adrenal fatigue, mood support, or travel immunity.
3. Tulsi Capsules or Powder
Tulsi capsules offer convenience for those who prefer no-fuss dosing.
- Standard dosage: 300–500 mg, 1–2 times daily.
- Tulsi powder can also be mixed into smoothies, lattes, or warm milk.
Choose organic products to avoid pesticide residues.
4. Fresh Tulsi Leaves
If you grow Tulsi, you can harvest the fresh leaves:
- Chew 1–2 leaves in the morning for immune and digestive benefits.
- Crush and apply to minor cuts, insect bites, or skin irritations.
- Add to cooking for a fragrant, peppery flavor.
5. Tulsi in Ritual and Energetic Healing
Use Tulsi for cleansing spaces, blessing altars, or as a daily offering. Burn dried Tulsi in a fire-safe bowl to clear stagnant energy or create a sacred mist using Tulsi hydrosol.
Tulsi aligns with heart, crown, and third eye chakras, helping to unify body and spirit in meditation, prayer, or breathwork.
