Upset stomach? Also known as dyspepsia, the term ‘indigestion’ covers a range of unpleasant symptoms, usually as a result of food not passing through your digestive tract properly. Indigestion can cause nausea or heartburn as food flows back up the oesophagus; it also causes abdominal bloating and pains. The tulsi solution Tulsi or holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) , also known as ‘the queen of herbs’, is an aromatic perennial plant that is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is a common medicine in Ayurveda, which is the traditional Indian system of healing. Tulsi is an antioxidant rich herb with antispasmodic, calmative and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a helpful remedy for all manner of digestive problems. It is also indicated for regulating blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, because it supports pancreatic function which further releases insulin and assists in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, ensuring that the blood sugar is utilised for energy.
