Tulsi wood, which is in the Basil family, is the most sacred of all wood in the Hindu tradition. It is worshipped in Indian temples as a living goddess. One Hindu legend relates that Vishnu spawned Tulsi from the turbulent seas in order to help all of mankind. According to popular Indian belief, wherever Tulsi is planted, the place becomes sanctified as a place of pilgrimage and the sepoys (soldiers) of Lord Death dare not enter that place. In India, Tulsi is regarded as the most sacred plant. It is a much-branched, erect bushy plant of about 4 feet in height. Its leaves are aromatic and they have minute glands. The flowers are purple in small clusters and the seeds are yellow or red.
Tulsi mala is prepared from the stems of the Tulsi (Holy Basil) plant. It is also a medicinal plant, which helps to balance vata and kapha. Tulsi helps to improve devotion and love in the heart.
