Ocimum tenuiflorum // temperate tulsi, grown from seed here
An adaptogen, this plant ally has a broad spectrum supportive role in your body, helping you adapt to stressors of all kinds: physiological, mental, emotional, biological. Helps smooth out the bumps and thumps, aiding a more sustainable response to stress. We LOVE tulsi! Help MF grow more plants with your support so in 2024 I can increase the growing areas and offer Tulsi dried for herbal blends. So delicious.
Tincture is highly recommended for anyone working on 'nervous system health and regulation'. She's a dream.
If you have ever smelled or tasted fresh or dried tulsi, you can immediately infer her medicinal offering - all basils have those strong smells and tastes, and with Tulsi, it's really impossible not to feel enlivened joy and a remembering of how beautiful Life is. Beautiful flowers feeding bees, kind of unassuming, prolific grower once established, a tenacity, but doesn't take over a growing space, generous with seed - you see! These characetisitcs tell us a lot about how the Plant helps us on the inside, especially when we are in the rough.
