Description

Tulsi Organic Planet Ayurveda® is a dietary supplement with a standardized extract of Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum / Ocimum tenuiflorum). In Ayurveda, Tulsi is one of the most respected plants and is traditionally associated with prana, respiratory comfort, inner clarity, a calmer daily rhythm and Vata-Kapha balance.

Tulsi is not simply “basil” in the culinary sense. It is Holy Basil with a strong aroma, a bitter-pungent taste and a warming character. In Indian tradition, Tulsi has a special place as a plant connected with the home, breath, mind and inner purity. In the modern food supplement market, Tulsi is most often chosen by people looking for herbal support for seasonal well-being, a calmer response to daily load and respiratory comfort.

In this product, Tulsi is not ordinary plant powder, but a standardized extract of Holy Basil. One capsule contains 500 mg of extract, while the daily dose contains 2000 mg of standardized extract, providing 25 mg of tannins. This is a convenient concentrated form of Tulsi in capsules, without the need to prepare tea, powder or blends.

The dosha formula for this product is: Vata – Pitta + Kapha –. This means that Tulsi is traditionally viewed in Ayurveda as a plant that balances Vata and Kapha, but may increase Pitta, especially in people with pronounced heat, burning sensations, irritation or sensitive digestion.

Tulsi in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, Tulsi is described as a plant with katu and tikta taste — pungent and bitter. Its qualities are light, drying and penetrating, while its energy is warming. This is why Tulsi traditionally fits well into the logic of Kapha balance, where lightness, warmth, movement and a freer breathing space are important.

Tulsi is also closely connected with prana — the life breath and inner vitality. In Ayurveda, it is not only a seasonal herb, but a plant that helps maintain a clearer feeling of breath, an active inner rhythm and a calmer daily state.

Respiratory comfort and Kapha balance

Kapha in Ayurveda is connected with heaviness, dampness, mucus-like qualities and slower movement. Tulsi, with its aromatic, pungent and warming character, traditionally fits well during periods when the body needs more lightness, warmth and a freer breathing feeling.

This product can be chosen by adults who want to support respiratory comfort and seasonal well-being with a classical Ayurvedic plant. Tulsi fits best together with warm drinks, enough rest, fresh air, room ventilation and a diet appropriate for the season.

A calmer daily rhythm

Tulsi is often chosen by people who feel tension, overload or the need for a calmer daily rhythm. In Ayurvedic understanding, it is not a heavy “sedative” herb. Tulsi rather helps maintain inner clarity, warmth and a steadier response to everyday load.

Therefore, Tulsi Organic is well suited for people who want to combine respiratory comfort, seasonal well-being, inner balance and the classical Ayurvedic logic of Vata-Kapha balance in one product.

Pitta: when moderation is needed

The dosha formula Vata – Pitta + Kapha – means that Tulsi may increase Pitta qualities. In practice, this means that people with pronounced heat, burning sensations, excess acidity, quick irritability or very sensitive digestion should use the product moderately.

Tulsi fits best into a routine where there is no excess of very spicy, heating and irritating foods. If Pitta is already pronounced, Tulsi may be combined with softer and more cooling dietary principles.

Standardized extract, not ordinary powder

Tulsi Organic Planet Ayurveda® contains a standardized extract. One capsule contains 500 mg of Holy Basil extract.

In the daily dose — 4 capsules — the product contains 2000 mg of standardized Holy Basil extract, providing 25 mg of tannins.

This is important because a standardized extract provides clearer composition control than ordinary plant powder. In this product, Planet Ayurveda® uses an extract form so that the daily dose contains a concentrated and consistent amount of plant components.
