Tulasi also known as basil leaves, is a fairly common plant in Indian households.
Tulasi has immuno modulatory (helps to modulate the immune system), antitussive (suppresses the cough centre, reducing the amount of cough) and expectorant properties (helps expel phlegm from the chest), that make it a great relief for coughs, cold, and other respiratory disorders including chronic and acute bronchitis.
Another great property of this leaf is that it has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that help to beat the infection causing the respiratory problem.
It also relieves congestion since it contains potent components like camphene, eugenol and cineole in its essential oils.
Its anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties also help to treat allergic respiratory disorders.
How to take: Take two leaves of Tulasi in 50ml of water, boil it for 5 min. Add 1tsp Honey to that and drink.
You can replace your regular coffee / tea with this.
