Krishna (Shyama) Tulsi is revered for its potent medicinal properties. Its purplish leaves indicate a high concentration of anthocyanins. In Ayurveda, it is considered slightly more “heating” than Rama Tulsi and is especially effective for respiratory health. It is a powerful expectorant used to relieve coughs and colds, support lung function, and manage fevers. It is a powerful adaptogen that helps the body cope with stress.

  • For a Potent Respiratory Tea: Steep half a teaspoon of Krishna Tulsi powder in hot water with a little honey and ginger. This is an excellent remedy for coughs, colds, and sore throats.
  • As a Daily Adaptogen: Consume a small amount daily in water or a smoothie to help build resilience against stress and illness.
