Tulsi, a sacred healing herb from India, helps reduce stress, strengthen immune systems, promote longevity, increase endurance, fight infections, relieve congestion and headaches, and improve digestion. It’s also a rich source of vitamins and minerals. In a permaculture garden its constant flowering attracts pollinators and other beneficial insects, and it provides protection for small birds that help with pest management. A favourite garden tea of mine is a blend of tulsi leaves, mint, lemon myrtle, lime, turmeric, ginger with a dash of honey.
