The Healing Properties of Tulsi Beads

Tulsi, or holy basil, is revered in Hindu culture as a sacred plant that holds immense significance in the Hindu culture due to its spiritual, medicinal, and cultural value. This plant is often grown in homes and temples as it serves as a reminder of its sacredness, and its leaves are used in various rituals and Ayurvedic practices. In recent years, Tulsi beads have become a powerful tool for spiritual and physical well-being.

Types of Tulsi Plants

There are primarily three main types of Tulsi plants, each with its unique characteristics and medicinal properties:

Rama Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum):   

Rama Tusi is the most common type of Tulsi, characterized by its bright green leaves and a subtle, sweet fragrance. Rama Tulsi is renowned for its stress-relieving and adaptogenic properties. It's believed to help manage anxiety and depression and promote overall mental well-being. It's also used to boost immunity and alleviate respiratory issues.  

Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum): 

Krishna Tulsi is easily distinguishable by its dark purple leaves and stems. It has a stronger aroma compared to Rama Tulsi. This variety is known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It's often used to treat skin conditions, digestive disorders, and respiratory infections.  

Vana Tulsi (Ocimum gratissimum): 

Vana Tulsi, also known as Wild Tulsi, is a more robust and woody plant with larger leaves. It has a spicy, clove-like aroma. It is valued for its analgesic and antimicrobial properties. It's used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and combat bacterial infections.

How are Tulsi Beads made?

Tulsi beads are made from the dried stems and roots of the Tulsi plant. The process involves harvesting, drying, cutting, shaping, polishing, and stringing the beads. The finished malas are often blessed by spiritual leaders to enhance their spiritual potency.
