As the monsoon season sets in, our immune systems are put to the test. The humid weather creates an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and viruses, making us more susceptible to illnesses. This is where Tulsi, the sacred Ayurvedic medicinal plant comes into play. Revered for its healing properties, Tulsi leaves are packed with antioxidants and nutrients that boost immunity and shield us against infections. Whether consumed as a kadha, tea or simply by chewing on the leaves, Tulsi has been a trusted remedy for centuries.
Its immunity-boosting properties make it an essential addition to our daily routine, especially during the monsoon season. Here is a simple tulsikadha recipe that is perfect to boost your immunity naturally during the rainy weather.
How To Make Tulsi Kadha To Boost Immunity?
To make a soothing Tulsi tea, start by boiling a sufficient amount of water in a pan. Add a handful of fresh Tulsi leaves along with sliced ginger, a few black peppes, cloves and a cinnamon stick. Simmer the mixture on medium flame for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld. Then, turn off the flame and let it steep for 10-15 minutes with a lid on.
