Agastya Tulsi

Agastya Tulsi, also known as Krishna Tulsi or Shyama Tulsi, is a variety of the Tulsi plant that is commonly found in India and other parts of Southeast Asia. It is named after the sage Agastya, who is revered in Hindu mythology for his knowledge and wisdom.

Agastya Tulsi has dark green, slightly purple-tinged leaves that are slightly larger than other types of Tulsi. It has a strong, spicy aroma and a slightly bitter taste. Like other types of Tulsi, Agastya Tulsi is high in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immune-boosting properties.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Agastya Tulsi is used to treat a variety of health conditions, including respiratory infections, digestive disorders, and skin conditions. It is also believed to have a calming effect on the mind and body and is often used in meditation and spiritual practices.

Agastya Tulsi is easy to grow and care for, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It prefers warm, tropical climates and thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering. In Hindu mythology, it is believed that growing Agastya Tulsi in one’s home can bring good luck and prosperity.
