Nature Cures More Herbs for Swine Flu.
The tradition of Ayurveda offers us yet another natural, herbal approach to stave off flu and "swine" flu.
Next to the Lotus, Basil is perhaps the most sacred plant of India. Basil opens the heart and mind.
Basil gives the protection of the divine by clearing the aura and strengthening the immune system.
"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defense 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 Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar City 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.
