Tulsi or Holy basil is a widely known herb. Tulsi has proved to be highly effective in protecting our body from various infections and diseases of heart, liver, skin, kidney etc. So, Tulsi is rightly called the ‘Queen of Herbs’.

Tulsi has a special place in Ayurveda as well as the home of Hindus in India. It is considered sacred by Hindus and worshipped by them. Three main types of Tulsi are seen growing in India:

1. Bright green leaves called Ram Tulsi
2. Purplish green leaves called Krishna Tulsi
3. Common wild Vana Tulsi.
