topic for discussion:Use of Tulsi or Basil according to Ayurveda
Dr. Vasupradha R: Tulasi or holy
basil as we all know is given as prasadham in all Vishnu temples.
Lord Shiva is a
ugra Murthy, so to in order yo please him vilvam is offered, Likewise Lord
Vishnu is shantha Murthy, so Tulasi is offered to him. Tulasi as we all know is
holy. But still it grows amidst waste. As per our history (not mythology)
Tulasi devi was cursed by Maatha Seetha as she lied to Lord Raman that she
didn't see Seethadevi doing shraddham ( rituals done for the ones who had
passed away ). But still only Tulasi can be offered again and again after
washing it to Lord Vishnu even if it was offered earlier. if something is
offered to somebody, it can’t be offered again except Tulasi .

Ayulink: I have a doubt.
Several products are available in the market claiming containing 5 kinds of
Tulsi. Is it really possible?
Dr. Vivek D.
Shah: one species of tulasi. It is names Tilak Tulasi in gujarati.
Dr.
Shantanandkumar: Yes sir how it is possible gets five kinds of Tulasi.
They are cheating.
Ayulink: Is Basil available in India and Europe , USA are same in property?
Dr. Vasupradha R: Tulasi patra kalkam can be used for dandruff
Dr. Daisy Kanabar: In kaphaj kas krishna tulasi given with honey. Tulasi is having vatakapha
hara nd pittkara property
Dr. Vivek D. Shah: Krishna tulsi can b used as a great anti viral herb... i hv seen
significant results on viral infections using krishna tulsi...
Dr. Shantanandkumar: Tulasi Guti used treat cough &fever in babies
Vd. Sureshbhai Chavda: Tulsi has linoleic acid which is extremely beneficial for skin,” neem,
giloy and turmeric, tulsi paste when applied on acne and pimples can ensure
relief with lesser chances of repeat breakouts.
Dr. Vasupradha R: Any insect bite - vilwadhi gutika with Tulasi swarasam gives good result
Dr. Ravibhusan S Sonawale: Tulasi..vishnghn mostly use insect bite. Tulasi bij- sabja
very good pittashamk use during summer
15382: Is it true that Tulsi leaves should not be chewed under teeth it should be
swallow whole.? Is it a myth
Mona Patel: I don't think that Bcs tulsi is best
Gary Yuen: Maybe it is
possible. I've heard some say varieties of basil have similar properties. From
the book The Way of Ayurvedic Herbs (Karta Purkh Singh Khaisa). In India, three
main varieties of tulsi are available.
Rama tulsi
("Svet", or "Shukla"- white) is actually deep green, and
used more for digestion. It is 3 feet high, with stems about 1/2 inch thick.
Krishna tulsi
("Shyama" - black) is deep magenta, close to purple, is used more for
its detoxifying action and is hotter. It can be over 6 feet tall and 5 feet
across with stems over 2 inches thick- essentially a small tree. For the most
part, though, these two varieties can be used interchangeably. The chemotypes
of the two types can vary substantially, depending on where they grow. Vana
("grove") tulsi is Ocimum gratissimum. It has many of the same
properties as Rama and Krishna tulsi. For regular use, de Jager recommends a blend
of Rama, Krishna and Vana, 2:2:1 (Prashanti, Sri Tulsiji: Queen of Herbs).
In Ayurvedic
herbalism, sattvic tulsi is used as an expectorant and anti-mucus herb, for
respiratory diseases like cold and flu. It is quite warming to the body, so it
will make you sweat (a diaphoretic), a characteristic that also lends itself to
fever 526 and flu treatment. Diaphoretics are commonly taken internally for
skin disease and itch in all systems of herbal medicine, and tulsi is no
exception. A hot infusion of dried leaves is an excellent anupan for other
treatments. For kaphaja kasa (kapha coughs), use fresh Krishna tulsi (or
substitute regular basil) juice with honey. (Juice tulsi in a wheat grass
juicer.)
Dr. Pritam Veer: But in India we find
only two types of Tulsi , Shwet and Krishna
Gary Yuen: It seems more
types are available in India though they may not be native. Is it correct that
purple tulsi is also ocimum sanctum?
862: I heard from one
pt that seeds of tulsi given from 4th day of menses upto 10 days, is useful in
infertility. Does anyone have knowledge about it?
Vd. Hardik
Bhatta: The synonym of Tulsi is Vishnupriya.
According to Hindu shashtra the thing which we offer to Lord Vishnu is good for our health, because Lord
Vishnu is our 'Palanhar'. , So Tulsi is a great herb.
The other ref.
From sharagdhar samhita that during breath the pran vata comes from nabhi to
take Vishnu padamrut .. means oxygen . Tulsi is very good source of Oxygen .
862: Rt. I also have
same question. Panch tulsi ras is available in market. What is it?
618: We can find
sabja even
Dr.Ramesh Natu: I am writing based
on informative knowledge. Scientific evidence supports that Tulsi helps in
balancing body, mind and spirit.Optimize function of the body during periods of
high and chronic stress. Tulsi can reverse some of the devastating effects of
diabetes. It can improve brain function and cardiovascular health.
Tulsi has
anticancer properties. What is the dose/quantity recommended in prevention of
all these disorders? Single herb treatment is generally not recommended by
Ayurveda fraternity.Then which other herbs you recommend along with Tulsi for
heathy population? Generally Krishna Tulsi is considered as having medicinal
properties.
355: Tulsi +Ginger
Juice is beneficial for cough cold. Tulsi ,Brahmi , Bilva powder combination is
very useful for hyperactive mind and also provides calmness. Note:Some people
use Tulsi in milk or tea but Tulsi and milk are Viruddh. I also don't recommend
Tulsi drops which are available in market because I also doubted.
355: Hair fall or in
dandruff make Decoction of Tulsi,Amla,
Nimb patra is useful for hair wash
542: Anyone making
hair oil??
047: Yes, With
tulsi, neem ,curry leaves Combination nd
also single.
Dr. Gurumahantesh: You mean orally
or in hair oil?
355: Yes I m making
Hair oil and use Tulsi leaves
047: Locally But
orally also can b given along with.
542: Can you
elaborate on procedure
304: The paste of
leaves are useful in chronic ulcers,oedema and pain
Scrubbing of
juice improves intra-dermal circulation. Tulsi leaves given with honey act as
expectorant.
Tulsi is seen
very effective in skin disorders like ring worm. In ring worm tulsi paste is
used with black pepper (marich).
862: In ring worm, for
local application?
304: No, in internal
use
424: Internal use
Dose❓
862: Ok, how to use?
Ayulink: Can someone make
list of uses of Basil? Is Basil available in India and Europe , USA are same in
property?
Dr. Ramesh Natu: Logically must
have same properties. Insectides, pesticides are generally not used for the
growth at the domestic level. Is it commercially grown? If yes then we will have
check with these growers.
424: Tulasi is having
vatakapha hara property. It is being an appetizer used in anorexia, abdominal
pain also. Tulasi seeds are used in dysentry. Tulasi leaves are chewed in
pyorrhoea
Dr. Jignesh
Thakkara: There is a very different use of tulsi. In over sexual
stimulation tulsi is given for suppressing over sexual desire as it is having
satva guna so it vanishes tamo and rajo guna. Same way tulsi is useful in
depression as depression happens because of tamo guna and tulsi fights tamo
guna by satva guna.
424: How it can b
used sir❓
Dr. Jignesh
Thakkara: As a leaves it is used in bhoga for God because of same reason. You can
either prescribe 5 fresh leaves / bd
after lunch for over stimulation. For depression may be heavy dose needed and
evaluation of patient is needed for prakriti
348: Soaked Tulsi
leaves are used to postpone menses. Tulsi swaras Nasya is done when has nasal
bleeding. In haemoptysis not haematemesis, Tulsi swaras is used with honey. ,we
used to apply Tulsi paste on Dushta Vrana. In Ringworm, I ask patient to put
Tulsi paste with back pepper(optional) locally.Tulsi leaves are Krimihar.
In allergic
rhinitis or in Peenus.Steam of hot water with Tulsi leaves , Ginger, Black
paper, onion ,flaxseeds ,lemon grass is used.
This remedy is
prescribed by my Guru Vd Vyasaji. Useful in chronic sinusitis also Or DNS ie
deviated nasal septum. Tulsi Ras is given as Anupan in many diseases. In
Tribhuvan kirti Ras, it has Tulsi swaras Bhavana. Surasardrak hembhihi......
597: Decoction made

and jiggery. I used this famous formulation in any vatakaphaj jvar or
viral fever with URTI. syn of tulsi is also Bhutghni.
713: Tulsi is
Antiviral And Antibacterial. Medicine in Ayurved

Dr. Bhavesh R
Modha: When peroxide is swallowed, it generates oxygen bubbles in
the stomach.There can be a lot of stomach irritation and even burns that
require a trip to the emergency room and possible hospital admission. Drinking
higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can be very dangerous
because it can cause tissue burns.
Mixing 35% food
grade hydrogen peroxide to get 3% hydrogen peroxide
To make a gallon
of 3% peroxide: In a clean gallon container, combine 1 and ¼ cups of 35% food
grade hydrogen peroxide with 14 and ¾ cups of water.
To make 3%
hydrogen peroxide from 35% hydrogen peroxide, the general mixing guideline
is: 1 part 35% hydrogen peroxide plus 11 parts water = 3% hydrogen
peroxide. You can use this guideline with any quantity you need to mix.
7983:
neem, giloy and turmeric, tulsi paste when applied
on acne and pimples can ensure relief with lesser chances of repeat
breakouts.
Tulsi has
linoleic acid which is extremely beneficial for skin,”
Dr. Bhavesh R
Modha: Human body naturally makes Hydrogen peroxide to fight infection. which
must be present for our immune system to function correctly.White blood cells
are known as Leukocytes. A sub-class of Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce
hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defense against toxins, parasites,
bacteria, viruses and yeast. For this reason, the internal use
of Hydrogen peroxide is administered by some medical professional known as
‘Oxygen Therapy’ although there is currently no consensus in the medical
community on the benefits and risks. Medical literature that supports
its use typically recommends that if Hydrogen peroxide is taken
internally, a low concentration of around 3% – 5% is used. However only
35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide (Grade F)
is recommended for internal use, therefore it MUST BE DILUTED before
it is consumed. At a concentration of 35%, hydrogen peroxide is a very
strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even
fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can potentially cause
neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract.
There have been
two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and 40% concentrations of
H2O2. Another reports tells of a 26 month old female who swallowed one mouthful
of 35% H2O2. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and
respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although
she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived
the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had
healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).
In India we
mainly have 4 types of Tulsi:
1. राम तुलसी
2. कृष्णा तुलसी
3.वन तुलसी
4. कपूर तुलसी
1. Rama
Tulsi
Scientific name:
Ocimum Sanctum
Common name:
Light Holy Basil
Rama Tulsi is
used to cure Fever, Cough, Leucoderma, Heart and Liver Tonic, Paralysis etc.
Light Holy Basil
Tulsi has green leaves with white-purplish flowers and green or purplish stem.
Rama Tulsi is lighter in shade due to its cooling properties.
2. Krishna Tulsi
Scientific name:
Ocimum Tenuiflorum
Krishna Tulsi is
used to bronchitis, Malaria Fever, Asthma, Urino-genital disorder, Vomiting,
Ear ache, Diabetes, Anti-bacterial, Anti Tuberculosis, Leucoderma etc.
Dark Holy Tulsi has dark purple leaves
with a strong aroma, peppery crisp taste , dark stems and Leaves Smaller
than Rama Tulsi.
3.Vana Tulsi
Scientific name:
Ocimum Gratissimum
its Wild basil
Vana Tulsi is
used to cure Malaria Fever, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Asthma, Urino-genital
Disease etc.
Wild leaf Tulsi has appearance similar to Rama
Tulsi but has white flower, stronger aroma and is taller than other forms of
Tulsi.
4.Kapoor Tulsi is
used to cure Dysentery, Chronic Diarrhoea, Anti-fungal, Cough, Indigestion,
Eczema, Snake bite etc. Kapoor Tulsi is commonly found in USA as it can be
grown in temperate gardens. It also attracts many bees due to strong aroma.
P. A. Deshpande: Hydrogen
peroxide releases oxygen molecules when it comes in contact with infected
portion of body. Through nebulizer the
sprinklers comes in contact with
infected resoeratory track and disinfects instantly releasing obstruction. .
H2O2 do not reach stomoch but works as
topical treatment. There is no other
process which can give such instant relief.
Hence I chose H2O2 with tulsi juice both well filtered to suit procedure- it gave excellant results in terminal conditions.
Fully agreed with
explaination. 35 % concentrated much H2O2 cannot be ramen even um small quantities. It
will burn tongue as welp as ca
cities. In my protocol I have mentioned 5 %
potency and 5 ml quantity which is very safe for small quantity. H2LO2
is produced by WBCs . as a first line of defence is absolutely correct.
However in critical conditions or specific situation body
mechanism do not work effectively and the problem aggrevates. In such situation
instant alternative measures are to be
immediately applied to save
irrevocable damages. Unfortunately
medical practioners very rarely opt this
and do raise a question that it is not in their scope since not found in books
of studies and guidelines. I am sorry if
I have crossed borders.
Dr. Bhavesh R
Modha: Many medicinal uses of Tulsi are also shown in folk medicine and in modern
science today. Tulsi in Ayurveda charak is said to be शिरोविरेचनीय = sneezewort & श्वासहर = anti dyspneics.
It is said that both charak & sushrut Tulsi destroy the odor.
Whatever Tulsi's
medicinal value it is due to the
fragmentary aromatic substance contained in it. In chemical composition found
out
Tulsi essential
oil consists mostly of eugenol(~70%)
246: Tulsi has also
been shown to be active against many animal pathogens, and this has led to
tulsi being used in animal rearing to reduce infections in cows,poultry, goats
fishand silkworms.
168: I have heard a
story somewhere that the goddess devi becomes angry at the scent of tulsi. Is
there a reason such as possible negative effects or is it just some other
religious association?
864: No doubt it's a
myth. They associate this just to deliver something different to the society.If
u put a religious belief in any matter, people stop doing that things. So in
ancient time, they used to tell there stories.
