Can I make this herbal infusion tea every day?

Usually no. Keep home use short unless a BAMS doctor designs a longer plan for 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.

Light tulsi evening tea not too late: Traditional Home Method

Light tulsi evening tea not too late — a traditional Ayurvedic herbal infusion tea. It is traditionally earlier evening if tulsi feels awakening. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic doctor (BAMS) before preparing or taking this at home. It is not a substitute for medical care. Avoid self-medication in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, in children, or with chronic disease unless a doctor advises.

Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.
