Variety of Tulsi: Ayurvedacharya says that it is considered better to apply Rama Tulsi in homes. Although most people also apply Shyam Tulsi, so you can plant these two species of plants in your house.
As much religious significance of Tulsi is, it is equally important from a scientific point of view. Tulsi leaf was also prominent among the drugs used to boost immunity during the Kovid period. Almost every person is aware of the medicinal properties of Tulsi, but very few people know about their types.
Bhuvanesh Pandey, Ayurveda of Bettiah, working as Ayurvedacharya for nearly 40 years, says that there are four types of Tulsi. He is known as Ram Tulsi, Shyam Tulsi, Van Tulsi and Kapoor Tulsi. Today we are giving you some special information on them.
Shyam Tulsi is also known as Krishna Tulsi. Its leaves are purple in color, which tastes bitter than other basil. Their consumption is considered appropriate in breathing and skin related disorders.
Kapoor basil is rich in medical lips. Its smell is so strong that mosquitoes and insects are forced to stay away from it. Kapoor basil is rich in more medicinal properties than any other basil. This is the reason that this variety has been used for centuries to treat deadly diseases.
Bhuvanesh says that it is very challenging to find the forest basil. It is mainly found in forests. It is full of Valmiki Tiger Reserve located in Western Champaran district of Bihar. Mainly it grows in the foothills of the Himalayas and is considered to be the best among all varieties of holy basil. The upper leaves of the plant are bright green, while the leaves released are dark green.
Ram Tulsi is also known as Bright Tulsi. It is mainly found in countries like India, Nepal, South America and China. Its taste is lighter than other basil. However, when the leaves are crushed, it smells strong.
