Interesting fact about Basil

Basil known as Tulsi( Holy Basil)  in India is considered most auspicious plant in all over world.

 Basil derives its name from Greek word βασιλικόν φυτόν (basilikón phutón), "royal/kingly plant", . Basil is even today considered as king of all herbs. In ancient time Basil was used in purification during the crowning ceremonies of the King.   In Sanskrit," Tulanaa naasti athaiva Tulsi" - that which is incomparable (in its qualities) is the Tulsi. This is because of its physical and spiritually healing properties, as author Stephen P. Huyler summarizes, "Aside from its religious merits, Tulsi has been praised in Indian scriptures and lore since the time of the early Vedas as an herb that cures blood and skin diseases. Ancient treatises extol it as an antidote for poisons, a curative for kidney disease and arthritis, a preventative for mosquito and insect bites, and a purifier of polluted air. Generally prepared in medicinal teas and poultices, Tulsi's widespread contemporary use in India as an aid to internal and external organs suggests these traditions are based upon practical efficacy."


This annual herb/shrub belongs to the mint family.  . The plant has numerous small leaves and purple flowers which grow on hairy stems. There is a red variety( Shyam tulsi) and a green ( Ram tulsi). The red has a much stronger aroma.

Religious Fact about Basil

“Those who worship auspicious Tulsi daily by nine processes – namely seeing, touching, meditating, glorifying, offering obeisance , praising, planting, serving and worshiping her -  live in the Lord’s house for ten billion yugas.” – Bhakti Rasamrta-sindhu, quoting from Skanda Purana

For Hindus, it is one of the most sacred plants. In fact it is known to be the only thing used in worship which, once used, can be washed and reused in pooja - as it is considered as self-purifying...

The presence of Tulsi plant symbolizes the religious bent of a Hindu family. A Hindu household is considered incomplete without Tulsi plant . Many families have   built a structure to plant Tulsi, which depicts images of deities  on all four sides, and an alcove for a small earthen oil lamp known as  Tulsi ka Chowra. Some people even plant up to a dozen tulsi plants in the flower bed or in the garden forming a "tulsi-van" or "Tulsi vrindavan" - a miniature basil forest.  In the present day apartments , many maintain a potted Tulsi plant. It is considered very auspicious to light a lamp, watering ,to worship and circumambulate(pradakśina )the Tulsi plant. The stem, leaves, seeds, and even the soil, which provides it a base are considered holy. A Tulsi leaf is always placed in the food offered to the Lord. It is also offered to the Lord during poojas especially to Lord Vishnu and his incarnations.

As one story goes, Tulsi was the devoted wife of a demon. She believed that Lord Vishnu tricked her into sinning. So she cursed him to become a stone known as Shaaligraama.

 Kartik month  is called the month of devi Tulsi. Plantation of it is considered very auspicious in this month.
In the month of Kartik ,On the 11th day of the waxing moon ,it is said that lord Vishnu rises after his four-month sleep , he fulfill his promise to protect the earth by  marrying the earth-goddes Tulsi. Lord Vishnu is represented either by an idol or a Shaligrama stone or a cane of sugar.

Importance of Peepal Tree

In my daily life and astrological study, I’ve came across some Beneficial and Auspicious TREES AND PLANTS that had a lot of significance for human. Even, I have planted some of these sacred trees and worship them.  Peepal (Ficus religiosa )also known as Bodhi tree is one of them.

The Peepal tree is considered sacred by the followers of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says, "I am the Peepal tree among the trees, Narada among the sages, Chitraaratha among the Gandharvas, And sage Kapila among the Siddhas." Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment (bodhi) while meditating underneath a Bodhi tree.

Medicinal  Use:

With the increasing awareness about the dangers of chemical based medicine and their side effects , people are inclined towards  natural treatment options due to the fact that  risks are usually minimal.

The useful parts of the plant include the bark and the leaves  which contain most of the essential oils . These oils are highly useful in the treatment of a several ailments . It has anti aging property.

Dysentery : Prepare the paste of  peepal leaves,coriander and sugar ,it  should be taken slowly over the whole day until  you feel comfort . We could prepare the tea of peepal leaves and have it .this remedy is very beneficiary in jaundice too.

Skin ailments( boils, bumps and inflammations ):  Smearing the leaf with clarified butter and heat slowly over a low flame then this leaf should  be wrapped around the affected area with the help of bandage. This remedy is also helpful when we have to deal with mumps .

Ear infections: Hold the leaves near a flame to collect the juice as it drips and  once the extract is cool down then put  it into the ear.

Snake bite:  When I was small my grand mother used to tell that in her village , a person used to treat snake bite through Peepal branch along with leaf.  He used to put these in both ears and hold the branches  tightly . Patient started cry as it pull the venom.when all poison was sucked by the branches it stop working.  few people say giving the 2 -3 spoon sap of Peepal leaf  is the effective first aid of snake bite and could be the life savoir.
Tulsi or holi Basil could also be used as first aid of snake bite. Interesting fact about Basil article contain detail about it.

Reproductive system ailment : Deceases like likoria , low sperm count could also be treated just by having the extract of Peepal leaves.The powder of its fruit is also very useful to make the organ healthy.

Plantation of that tree ward off the evil effect planets in the  birth chart  and helps the person to improve his prosperity..

 The Peepal tree is believed to be Lord Vishnu  abode too.The greatness of the worship of this tree lies in the fact that whosoever worships the Peepal tree gets the reward of worshipping Lord Vishnu.

Peepal tree worship alone is so much powerful to overcome all planetary afflictions. So, plantation of  Peepal tree is one of the greatest and most simple remedy,

Scientific Fact

 *Few people are skeptic if  Peepal  emits oxygen at night time too. In scientific term It is possible through  CAM process..CAM occurs primarily in desert plants and epiphytes (plants that live on other plants, generally on  large trees). CAM plants do not open their stomata during the day in order to minimize water loss. During the night, they open their stomata and fix CO{-2} in the form of malate .  So, Peepal tree would either release or not release CO{-2} in the night depending on if they are epiphytic or not. For other CAM plants, it would depend on if they have enough water or not, or other climatic factors..

*    Its leaves absorb moisture from the atmosphere and regulates the hydrological cycle. 
*   It releases large quantity of Isoprene (volatile organic compound) which protect the ozone layer.

* The sap of the tree contains an enzyme that can increase child bearing capacity.

* Since It  releases more oxygen than that other trees we could find Peepal tree  in most of the temples and in olden days the tree used to be in the center of the village so the atmosphere will be clean.

 Our body detoxify itself ,  70% through breathing, 20% through perspiration, 8% through urination and 2% through the bowels. It give us the clear idea about the importance of having clean air in our society!  The ratio of oxygen to other elements in the Earth's atmosphere has been dropping over several decades. Maximum health issues are due to  polluted air and the reduction of  greenery  .  Highest polluted areas , such as cities, have a lower percentage of oxygen along with highest level of toxic gases  in the air. Hoping  this bitter truth will  help  to illustrate the value of bringing both oxygen producing plants along with  air cleaning foliage in our society for healthy life.

 So encourage all to initiate this practice and  thus helping our society to return to the positive  healthy era :)
