The benefits of tulsi (holy basil) leaves are almost too many to list. According to experts, chewing one tulsi leaf every day helps keep you healthy. A tulsi plant can be grown on a balcony where light and air move freely, and starting each day by eating four tulsi leaves can benefit the body in several ways.
What daily tulsi leaves can do
- Weight control: many people may not know that tulsi leaves can help with weight loss. The leaves have properties that speed up digestion, and as a result weight may come down faster.
- Removes bad breath: tulsi leaves help drive out germs from the teeth. Chewing a few leaves every morning destroys the bacteria in the mouth, and that reduces bad breath.
- Improves lung function: tulsi leaves are often recommended when colds and coughs set in. The leaves contain compounds that help protect lung health, and tulsi helps keep illnesses such as bronchitis at bay.
