Frequently asked questions

Can I make this herbal infusion tea every day?

Usually no. Keep home use short unless a BAMS doctor designs a longer plan for dried tulsi. Daily megadoses are not traditional kitchen practice.

Is this safe in pregnancy or for children?

Do not self-medicate in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or in children unless a physician and a BAMS doctor both agree. Many herbs that are fine in food amounts are not fine as concentrated preparations.

Does this cure disease?

No. It is a traditional home preparation with traditional benefit language only. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or prescribed treatment.
