About Tulsi (Krishna)
Krishna Tulsi (purple holy basil) is considered the most potent of the three Tulsi varieties — Rama, Vana and Krishna. The purple colour indicates a higher concentration of anthocyanins (antioxidants) and the aroma is more intense and clove-like than green varieties. Particularly valued in Ayurveda for respiratory health, immunity and spiritual practice.
