Indian natural herb Tulsi to fight back swine flu
Wed, Aug 12 11:56 AM
Ayurveda, the traditional 'science of life', has a remedy for diseases when
every other stream of medicine fails. Now, at a time when swine flu is
spreading like wildfire across the world, Ayurveda has the remedy in the form
of the miraculous herb, the basil leaves commonly known as Tulsi.
Tulsi, the purest and most sublime plant, has been known and worshipped in
India for more than five millennia for its remarkable healing properties.
Considered as an 'Elixir of Life', this wonder herb has now been claimed to
keep the deadly swine flu at bay and help fast recovery in afflicted persons.
"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across
the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defence mechanism
including its ability to fight viral diseases. It was successfully used in
combating Japanese Encephalitis and the same theory applies to swine flu," Dr U
K Tiwari, a herbal medicine practitioner says.
Apart from acting as a preventive medicine in case of swine flu, Tulsi can help
the patient recover faster.
"Even when a person has already contracted swine flu, Tulsi can help in
speeding up the recovery process and also help in strengthening the immune
system of the body," he claims.
Dr Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar is also of
the view that Tulsi can play an important role in controlling swine flu.
"Tulsi can control swine flu and it should be taken in fresh form. Juice or
paste of at least 20-25 medium sized leaves should be consumed twice a day on
an empty stomach." This increases the resistance of the body and, thereby,
reduces the chances of inviting swine flu," believes Patel.
As its name suggests, Tulsi has again proved to be the 'the incomparable'
medicine - this time, in the prevention and cure of swine flu.
The symptoms of the H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of
seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body
aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have
been infected with novel H1N1 flu virus also have reported diarrhea and
vomiting. The high risk groups for novel H1N1 flu are not known at this time,
but it's possible that they may be the same as for seasonal influenza. However,
Please consult a practitioner in case of any such symptoms. Doctors have
strictly advised against self medication.
