Origins
Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) is undoubtedly one of the most popular and sought-after herbs of the Orient.
Originally believed to be from Ancient India, it is an annual to perennial plant growing to about 1m highly regarded in the teachings of Ayurveda. It has light green ovate leaves containing valuable essential oil and covered with fine hairs. It thrives in sunny and warm places, but needs to be protected from strong sunlight and wind.
Tulsi plants are best harvested during the flowering season when they contain the most beneficial nutrients. The ideal time is between 11am and 2pm. It is advisable to bundle several plants and dry them in the shade somewhere with good airflow. However, sometimes it is preferred to cut the individual leaves, spread them in thin layers on a sieve and dry them with air.
Well dried Tulsi has a dark green color. It is recommended to store it in a sealed container without access to moisture, as it tends to blacken and mold.
In the Orient, Tulsi is considered sacred. According to Eastern folk medicine, it is dedicated to the gods Krishna and Vishnu. It is said to be the reincarnation of the goddess Lakshmi, patron of prosperity, happiness and longevity. The history of the use of Tulsi dates back to 3,000BC.
