What is Tulsi?

An image of Purple Tulsi from The Tao of Tea.
During my travels in India, I recently had the chance to spend a few hours volunteering at a tulsi farm. I had drunk tulsi herbal infusions before, and had enjoyed the flavor and the health benefits, but had never seen an actual tulsi plant before. Needless to say, it was a fascinating experience!

After learning a little more about tulsi and its relation to Ayurvedic practice, I put together a new article on the topic of tulsi, including types of tulsi, tulsi's health benefits and how to make tulsi "tea" at home.

Have you tried tulsi? What did you think of it? Share your thoughts with other readers in the comments below!
