Tested: Tulsi tea from Lebensbaum - stress fighter, detox and health booster

Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is an aromatic plant that is mainly cultivated for religious and medicinal purposes. Tulsi is used in the form of tea or as an essential oil in Hinduism and especially in Ayurveda as a medicinal plant.

Adaptogen Tulsi is an adaptogen, which means that the effect of the tea on the body adapts to its current needs: The physical complaints caused by external stress are balanced out, or the stressors in the body itself are reduced. This makes the body generally more resistant to stressful situations, regardless of whether they come from outside or inside.

In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, tulsi is known as the "elixir of life", as the herb with its intense aroma and astringent, bitter flavour is said to prolong life, among other things.

During particularly stressful times, some people instinctively reach for tulsi tea, and that is a good decision, because tulsi strengthens the body in dealing with stress and noticeably alleviates its effects. 1-2 cups of tulsi tea a day have a noticeably relaxing and invigorating effect.

As tulsi has a strong flavour of its own and Lebensbaum uses pure tulsi leaves, one bag is enough for a very large cup or a pot of tea. You can sweeten the tea with honey without affecting its flavour and enjoy it warm or cold during the day.

In addition to its invigorating and stress-reducing effect, tulsi contains a high number of antioxidants and also has detoxifying properties. Just how effective the bio-absorbent Tulsi herb can be as a detox agent is proven by the fact that in some parts of the world Tulsi is used to purify water from various toxic substances! As a bitter herb, tulsi stimulates the liver to cleanse itself and flush toxins out of the body.

The tea from Lebensbaum has a refreshing flavour with bitter and slightly lemony notes and therefore tastes warm and cold, is not too bitter and has a noticeable effect on the stressed, burdened body.

Tip Enjoy the tea with a small candle and a calming natural scented candle, or drink it after yoga - this allows the powerful herb to unfold its full effect!
