Tulsi Wellness Teas

Introducing True Wellness Blends! Our new line of healing herbal teas is specifically formulated for True Wellness. Each function-specific tea masterfully blends Tulsi-Holy Basil with other herbs to offer distinct benefits that support and promote your True Wellness.

For over five millennia, the esteem that Tulsi has earned makes it one of the most cherished and truly legendary of India's healing herbs. From general well-being to acute critical imbalances, Tulsi's magnanimous healing nature is used and honored daily by millions. But how did Tulsi come to be called the Queen of Herbs?   

The most sacred herbs of India are likely Soma, Tulsi and Lotus, and of these Tulsi, no doubt, inspires the most personal devotion. Where most herbs are considered to be forms of the Goddess, Tulsi is a considered to be a Goddess herself. One legend is that a Goddess incarnated as Binda and, after spending a lifetime as a very close devotee of Krishna, serves to this day as the herb Tulsi, which leads to one of Tulsi's many names, Vishnupriya, the beloved one of Vishnu.

There are some followers of Krishna that have such a high regard for Tulsi that they would never dream of actively consuming Tulsi as a medicine, but rather choose to passively receive her healing power from her presence alone, which in India is ubiquitous. Most traditional homes and temples in India will have at least one Tulsi plant, the care of which is a form of bhakti yoga, a beautiful ritual that usually melts the person into a union with nature. This ritual is especially focused on Tulsi Jayanti, the birthday of Tulsi on Karttika Shukla Dwadasi, the 12th day of the bright half of the moon during mid-October to mid-November, as well as every Shukla Dwadasi during the year. How many herbs do you know that have a birthday?   

Wearing a Tulsi mala, a necklace of 108 beads carved from Tulsi's woody stems and worn around the neck or wrist, is a common way to benefit from the power of her presence which includes psychic protection and spiritual nourishment. In the Padmapurana Lord Shiva tells the sage Narada about this power:

"Oh Narada, wherever Tulsi grows there is no misery. She is the holiest of the holy. Wherever the breeze blows her fragrance there is purity. Vishnu showers blessing on those who worship and grow Tulsi. Tulsi is sacred because Brahma resides in the roots, Vishnu resides in the stems and leaves and Rudra resides in the flowering tops."  

Tulsi is a very friendly herb and consistently lends herself well in all sorts of therapies. Tulsi tea, simply a hot infusion of dried leaves, must be one of the more enjoyable forms of medicine we can experience as well as an excellent anupana for other botanicals and treatments. Tulsi is both a 'first-reach' herb in most cases of cough, colds, flu and fever, as well as a 'last-resort' when nothing else seems to work. Tulsi is a warm blessing that can be enjoyed by most people throughout the year for a vast array of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.

Natural Beauty Recipes : Organic India

Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub

 Brown sugar exfoliates the skin, ridding the pores of all dirt, oil and dead skin cells causing blemishes. Honey is naturally antibacterial, so as the brown sugar scrubs away the things clogging pores, the honey cleans out the sources of the buildup to prevent future breakouts.

How to make Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub :

1. Mix 3 table spoon equal parts of warm extra virgin olive oil (hint:WARM, not HOT!! Mix well to avoid hot spots that might burn) and store bought brown sugar.

2. Starting with one table spoon of honey, add into your scrub and mixwell. Add more until your mixture becomes gooey. Depending on the ingredients you use, you can adjust the amount of each ingredient until your scrub becomes the desire texture, a gooey and slightly sticky mix.

3. Now apply it to a clean and damp face and gently scrub for 1-2minutes, concentrating on the rough patches.

4. Wash your scrub off with warm water, and follow with a facial treatment or moisturizer. Enjoy your smooth skin.

This can be repeated once to twice a week for best results.

Coffee Grounds in Conditioner

This one is really simple. Instead of throwing old coffee grounds away, toss them into your conditioner to make your hair extra shiny oryou may opt to Add coffee grounds to olive oil (2 parts coffee ground for 1 part oil). Massage for a few minutes, let it sit for 20 minutes,then rinse.

Replace Conditioner with Vinegar

To get rid of the usual problems with hair: build up, dullness andjust lackluster, replace your conditioner with vinegar 1-4 times a month, depending on your hair type. Just use it as you need it. And,don’t worry about buying the best stuff for the best results, common white vinegar will do the trick as well as any other vinegar.

Olive Oil as Hair Moisturizer

It’s easy to see how oil can moisturize your hair. It’s simple to use as well. Simply cover your hair in olive oil and leave it in for 30-45minutes. You can also wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it from dripping. Some also believe it enhances the effect.

Lemon and Egg Facial

Have red "splotchiness" on your face? Soothe both symptoms away easily by mixing together one egg yolk and the juice of one lemon into a paste. Cover your face with it and leave it on overnight. If this seems like too much work, leave it on your face for an hour. You might not get the optimal results with this amount of time, but you will see a difference

Be Thankful, Be Well : Organic India

Research at the Institute of HeartMath (IHM) has found that sincere appreciation and gratitude, expressed naturally or intentionally, can have a transformative effect on both giver and receiver. Activating a positive feeling like appreciation is a very potent tonic for the body – it literally shifts your physiology, synchronizing your heart and brain rhythms, and creating a body-wide shift to a scientifically measurable state called coherence. In this optimal state, the body’s systems function more efficiently, generating a greater balance of emotions and increased mental clarity and brain function. Gratitude creates a healthier, happier and more fulfilling state of being.

When you’re the receiver of gratitude, your heart rhythm patterns show up in the brain waves in others around you – we literally pick up on each others’ vibes. Each heartbeat is putting out an electromagnetic wave that is 60 times stronger than a brain wave. HeartMath studies show this powerful electromagnetic field (EMF) can be detected and measured several feet away from a person’s body and between two individuals in close proximity. Think of the heart as a radio transmitter and its rhythm pattern the frequency signal: Others pick up thoughts and feelings that you’re broadcasting. 

The more we’re tuned to somebody, the easier it is to pick up on each other’s signals, unconsciously. When we’re feeling gratitude or appreciation, it can have an uplifting effect on others. When you feel it, they feel it. This resonance enhances the immune and endocrine systems and effects biochemistry, mind and spirit. It’s not mystical, it’s science. When you’re the giver and your recipient offers a sincere thank you, you can feel the uplift that is the rush of positive hormones that release as a result. Your heart rhythm has shifted too and then your perspective widens as issues that were bothering you fade to the background.

The recent London King’s College study links Indian herbs to kidney failure. Actually, side effects relating to some varieties of the Aristolochia species under certain conditions have been documented since the early 1990's.

Our Favorite Herbal Allies : Organic india

Our Favorite Herbal Allies :

The warning signs are hard to miss- scratchy throat, that tired and achy feeling…maybe a running nose cold, or a feverish flu is coming on…  

  

With these initial signs, here at ORGANIC INDIA we reach for our usual immunity-boosting regimen: our world famous Immunity formula, Chyawanprash for a huge vitamin C boost, Tulsi (Holy Basil) in capsules and a relaxing rejuvenating Tulsi Tea. (Some of us prefer the original Tulsi Ginger, or the new Tulsi Green Tea Lemon Ginger – we all have our favorites!) In addition to the immunity boosting benefits of Tulsi, ginger is a warming herb, traditionally used as an expectorant.  

If symptoms progress, our second line of defense is:  

Neti Pot  

This is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for congestion, and involves irrigating the sinus cavities with warm water and salt. We use ½ tsp. of sea salt (or Himalayan rock salt) per cup of body-temperature water, and add a tea made from turmeric powder. Turmeric does two things: As an anti-inflammatory, it allows the cavities to drain properly; and it also provides anti-bacterial and anti-viral support. Typically this is done first thing in the morning and again in the evening (takes resolve, but its worth it!)  

Apple Cider Vinegar  

Vinegar naturally, and almost immediately, thins mucus. I mix 2 tbsp. of raw apple cider vinegar (Dr Patkars in India, or the imported BRAGGS) with a cup of water and simply drink it. Often within minutes, chest congestion loosens, and nasal passages open. Coughs become much more productive, and nose blowing actually starts to accomplish something!  

Hot and Spicy  

To further loosen chest and sinus congestion, we make a thick broth of cayenne pepper, turmeric, honey and a little water. The amount of cayenne pepper is an individual call – some of us have strong digestion and can tolerate extremely spicy foods. Cayenne pepper reduces sore throat pain and is also a very effective expectorant.  

Tulsi bath 

We save our used tea bags in a mesh muslin bag, which are often used for herbal bath infusions, or home made. Then toss the muslin bag, with the tea bags inside, into the bath and let it steep. Each of us have our own preferences for adding essential oils to help clear sinus congestion, like tee tree or eucalyptus essential oil.

Turmeric

Many of us take turmeric in capsules and in our meals regularly -  the benefits it offers to a cold sufferer certainly entice one to take it more often!

Breathe Free

Those who have experienced heavy respiratory issues add our Breathe Free Formula which contains Vibhitaki fruit- an excellent expectorant, along with three other herbs that help rejuvenate and restore respiratory function.

Most of us have previously discussed all of these remedies with our doctors, and we recommend anyone else do the same. Our plant allies can provide us with so much healing!

Our lifestyle tips: eating plenty of fresh vegetables and citrus fruits (especially lemons!) avoid sugar and processed food-like substances: regularly wash hands, take the time to rest, and invite love and sunshine in too!

The Balance of Good Health : Organic Food

Many people who have cancer find that their disease or treatment
can affect their appetite and enjoyment of food. This booklet aims to give you some ideas about what foods may be easier to eat and help you enjoy food again. Your diet is important and this advice is aimed to help you eat well when you have cancer. It is advisable to avoid losing too much weight as this may affect any planned treatment.

Organic Food's  benefits for Cancer :

Cancer survivors often look for information and advice from their health care providers about food choices, physical activity, and dietary supplement use to improve their quality of life and long-term survival. But many people also look to news reports and studies for information like this. The best advice about diet and physical activity is that it’s rarely a good idea to change diet or activity levels based on a single study or news report.

No single study is the last word on any subject. News reports may focus on what seem to be conflicting results because they are new or different, or they challenge conventional wisdom. And in brief news stories, reporters can’t always put new research findings in their proper context.

In the questions and answers listed here, we have tried to address some common concerns that cancer survivors have about diet and physical activity. As you read this, keep in mind that a cancer survivor is defined as anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, whether or not the person is in treatment.

Supplements

Would survivors benefit from using vitamin and mineral supplements?

Survivors should try to get the nutrients they need through food, not supplements. Dietary supplements should be used when your doctor tells you to take them because of a deficiency of a certain nutrient. Do not take vitamins or other supplements to get higher than recommended levels of nutrients—this may do more harm than good.

Can nutritional supplements lower cancer risk or the risk of cancer coming back?

There is no evidence at this time that dietary supplements can lower the chance of cancer coming back or improve survival.

There is strong evidence that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and other plant-based foods may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. And some recent studies suggest there may be a helpful effect on recurrence or survival for breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers. But there is no evidence at this time that supplements can provide these benefits. Many healthful compounds are found in vegetables and fruits, and it’s likely that these compounds work together to create these helpful effects. Food is the best source of vitamins and minerals.

Vegetables and fruits

In most studies, eating more vegetables and fruits has been linked with a lower risk of lung, oral (mouth), esophagus (tube connecting the mouth to the stomach), stomach, and colon cancer. But few studies have been done on whether a diet that includes many vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of cancer coming back (recurrence) or improve survival. Some recent studies suggest that a higher intake of vegetables may have a helpful effect on recurrence or survival for breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers, but this is not definite.

Still, cancer survivors should get at least 2 to 3 cups of vegetables and 1½ to 2 cups of fruits each day because of their other health benefits. It’s not known which of the compounds in vegetables and fruits are most protective, so it’s best to eat different kinds of colorful vegetables and fruits each day.

Vegetarian diets :

No direct evidence has shown that vegetarian diets help reduce the risk of cancer coming back when compared to a diet that contains meat and is high in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and low in red meats. But vegetarian diets can be good for you because they tend to be low in saturated fat and high in fiber, vitamins, and biochemicals.

What you need to know about cancer and diet

Not all health problems are avoidable, but you have more control over your health than you may think. Research shows that a large percentage of cancer-related deaths—maybe even the majority—are directly linked to lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, a lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet. Avoiding cigarettes, limiting alcohol, and getting regular exercise are a great start to an anti-cancer lifestyle. But to best support your health, you also need to look at your eating habits.

What you eat—and don’t eat—has a powerful effect on your health, including your risk of cancer. Without knowing it, you may be eating many foods that fuel cancer, while neglecting the powerful foods and nutrients that can protect you. If you change your diet and behaviors, you can minimize your risk of disease and possibly even stop cancer in its tracks.

There are many ways to add plant-based foods to your diet. A nice visual reminder is to aim for a plate of food that is filled at least two-thirds with whole grains, vegetables, beans, or fruit. Dairy products, fish, and meat should take up no more than a third of the plate. Keep in mind that you don’t need to go completely vegetarian. Instead, focus on adding “whole” foods, which are foods close to their original form. Just as important, try to minimize or reduce the amount of processed foods you eat. Eat an apple instead of drinking a glass of apple juice, for example. Or enjoy a bowl of oatmeal with raisins instead of an oatmeal raisin cookie.

• Organic food is often fresher :
• 
  
• Fresh food tastes better. Organic food is usually fresher when eaten because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on smaller farms near where it is sold.
• 
  
• Organic farming is better for the environment :
• 
  
• Organic farming practices reduce pollution (air, water, soil), conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. In addition, organic farming is better for birds and small animals as chemical pesticides can make it harder for creatures to reproduce and can even kill them. Farming without pesticides is also better for the people who harvest our food.
• 
  
• Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal byproducts :
• 
  
• The use of antibiotics in conventional meat production helps create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. This means that when someone gets sick from these strains they will be less responsive to antibiotic treatment. Not feeding animal byproducts to other animals reduces the risk of mad cow disease (BSE). In addition, the animals are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, both of which help to keep the animals healthy. The more crowded the conditions, the more likely an animal is to get sick.
