Dear Readers,

Radhekrishna to all!

We looked at some of the medicinal uses of the tulasi plant. Let us continue with this same in this post:

6. Kidney Stone: Tulasi has strengthening effect on the kidney. In case of renal stone the juice of tulasi leaves and honey, if taken regularly for 6 months it will expel them via the urinary tract.

7. Heart Disorder: Tulasi has a beneficial effect in cardiac disease and the weakness resulting from them. It reduces the level of blood cholesterol.

8. Children's Ailments: Common pediatric problems like cough cold, fever, diarrhea and vomiting respond favorably to the juice of basil leaves. If pustules of chicken pox delay their appearance, basil leaves taken with saffron will hasten them.

9. Stress: Tulasi leaves are regarded as an 'adaptogen' or anti-stress agent. Recent studies have shown that the leaves afford significant protection against stress. Even healthy persons can chew 12 leaves of basil, twice a day, to prevent stress. It purifies blood and helps prevent several common elements.

10. Mouth Infections: The leaves are quite effective for the ulcer and infections in the mouth. A few leaves chewed will cure these conditions.

We will continue with some more uses in the next post.

Section II: Information about Indian herbs

In this post let us know about Heeng, called as Asafoetida in English and Feaula Asafoetida in Latin.

1. It is a resinous gum of a tree

2. It is dirty yellow in colour and has a pungent smell

3. It is used as a cure to several stomach related diseases

4. It is one of the best remedies for flatulence

5. It is an inevitable ingredient of most digestive powders

6. It is an antidote of opium – given in the same quantity as the opium ingested by the patient, it will counteract the effect of the drug

That concludes our post for the fortnight. Till the next post on 22nd April, Radhekrishna!

Sarvam Guruvaarpanam.
