Glory of Tulsi and Tulsi Mala
December 25th is celebrated as Tulsi Worship Day.

Tulsi leaves are an excellent natural medicine. They are warm in nature and balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). They help cure blood disorders, fever, respiratory issues, cough, worms, and are beneficial for the heart.

Consuming white Tulsi helps cure diseases of the skin, flesh, and bones.

Consuming black Tulsi helps remove white patches (leucoderma).

Tulsi roots and leaves are useful in treating fever.

Tulsi seeds are beneficial in cases of reproductive weakness. Drinking Tulsi tea helps cure fever, laziness, sluggishness, and imbalances of Vata and Pitta. It also increases appetite.

In places where Tulsi grows abundantly, offerings made to ancestors (pind daan) become everlasting. If one wears garlands made of Tulsi wood while performing worship of gods and ancestors, the results are multiplied many times.

Consuming Tulsi keeps the body healthy and well-shaped. It is a proven remedy for indigestion, constipation, gas, acidity, and related ailments.

Wearing a Tulsi mala (rosary) around the neck increases life energy. It applies pressure on important acupressure points, reducing mental stress, protecting against infectious diseases, improving health, and granting longevity. The body becomes pure, disease-free, and sattvic (spiritually balanced). Wearing it enhances the flow of bio-electric energy in the body and strengthens cellular capacity. The mala prevents blockages in blood circulation, creates a magnetic field around the wearer, and makes the voice melodious. It prevents throat diseases, keeps the face glowing and rosy, and protects the lungs and heart. It also instills sattvic qualities in the wearer. If one offers a Tulsi mala to Lord Vishnu and then wears it back as prasada with devotion, their sins are destroyed.

Wearing a Tulsi bracelet (gajra) on the wrist keeps the pulse steady, prevents numbness in the hand, and increases arm strength.

Tying Tulsi roots around the waist benefits women, especially pregnant women. It reduces labor pain and makes childbirth easier.

Wearing a Tulsi belt (kardhani) around the waist prevents paralysis and protects against disorders of the waist, liver, spleen, stomach, and reproductive organs.

Chanting with a Tulsi mala applies pressure on acupressure points of the fingers, reducing mental stress.
Regular consumption of Tulsi helps broken bones heal faster.

Regular intake of Tulsi leaves helps control anger and excessive sexual desire.

Sitting near Tulsi, meditating, lighting a lamp, and circumambulating the plant removes defects of all five senses.
