Tulsi Glycerite

Our TULSI Glycerite is pure magic and is made with the leaves and flowers from a small crop of Tulsi, or Holy Basil,  grown here at Artemis Gardens. A member of the mint family, Tulsi is grown and revered, especially in Southeast Asia, as a potent adaptogen* and as a holy plant. I love this. It’s an invitation for us to pause for a minute and consider that a plant can be held in the same high esteem as the humans and animals among us. 

By itself, Tulsi tastes hot and bitter and is said to penetrate the deep tissues and dry tissue secretions and normalize constitutional

imbalances. Daily consumption of tulsi is said to prevent disease, promote general health, well-being, and longevity, and assist in

dealing with the stresses of daily life. Tulsi is also credited with giving luster to the complexion, sweetness to the voice, and

fostering beauty, intelligence, stamina, and a calm emotional disposition. Ahhh, Tulsi. 

Glycerin is sweet and a perfect avenue for children to take their herbs and adults who relish sweetness, especially

at this time of year. I like putting my daily doses into a cup of water, which flavors it well and adds electrolytes to my hydration.
