We are living in a fragile world. Over the last few decades, we have seen a massive upsurge in pollution, food with traces of pesticide, processed foods with chemicals, which are leading to health-related complications, mental and psychological challenges, which are affecting our life up to great extent. Last year’s COVID outbreak only enhanced this fragility of our environment and health, where the entire world was shut down to prevent an infection, which led to the death of millions of Human beings.
There is no doubt that good health is central to our happiness and well-being, which contributes significantly to the overall wealth and prosperity of our society and even the economic progress of our nation, as healthy populations are more productive, spend more, save more and live longer. For a healthy life cycle, you need a balanced diet and a hygienic environment.
People are looking for some sort of alternatives, which can help them mitigate the ill-effects of this newfound pollution-induced lifestyle. They are consulting Medical professionals and spending moolah to adopt alternative therapies and practices, but effects are far from seen.
However, for every complex problem, we do have a very simple solution. In this article, we would like to suggest you a solution, which may mitigate all these problems, without putting in herculean efforts or spending moolah.
How do you feel If we say that you can mitigate or control all these problems by just a single step? Well, you may not believe it, but by having a Tulsi plant alone, you can counter most of the problems we are facing these days.
Why Tulsi is so important?
India is the only country where the power of Tulsi has recognized thousands of years ago. Tulsi has attained a sacred place in our culture and it offers a tremendous religious and medicinal value.
Tulsi enhances immunity and it is our best defense against infections. It is a low-cost, widely available, easy to grow herb that offers a solution for a range of conditions – from strengthening the respiratory system to moderating blood sugar to improving eye health, dental health, and many more benefits.
Fortunately, we have an organization named India Positive Citizen, which is running a noble initiative ‘TulsiShakti’, with the sole objective of Tulsi enabled wellness in every Indian home by inspiring and empowering a people-driven movement.
What is Tulsi Shakti initiative?
This initiative is a part of the vision of India Positive Citizen organization founded by Savitha Rao. She visited IIT-Mumbai for an environment project, and that was the watershed moment for this initiative, as she got inspired to explore the health benefits of Tulsi.
Initially, she started to use it in her life and experienced the shakti of Tulsi, she started sharing it with people around her – family, friends, security staff. They too started using the Tulsi in their daily life and observe huge improvement in their health. That was the moment when Savitha Rao conceived an idea to launch an initiative to offer a practical, accessible and affordable way to enable enhanced immunity and wellness for millions of Indians, by adding Tulsi to their life.
