Description

The Tulsi Plant, also called Holy Basil, is revered for its spiritual, medicinal, and environmental benefits. Native to the Indian subcontinent, it is considered sacred in Hindu culture and is often grown in courtyards and temples. The Tulsi plant is rich in antioxidants and has powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used in herbal remedies, teas, and Ayurvedic medicine. When grown indoors or outdoors, Tulsi purifies the air, repels insects naturally, and infuses its surroundings with a calming fragrance. With minimal care and regular sunlight, this plant can flourish year-round.
