Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna

Know About the Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes

The diabetic disease has plagued people for eons. Our old Ayurvedic books refer to this persistent illness, so we know this to be true. While Diabetes mellitus is the accepted medical term, the Ayurvedic term Madhumeha is more commonly used. Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Sangraha, Madhava Nidana, Yoga Ratnakara, etc., explain the illness at length in their respective ancient treatises. They also help the Ayurvedic doctor know how to treat them most successfully.

Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna When treating a patient, Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna looks for and treats the underlying causes of their symptoms. Diabetes treatment in Ayurveda is based on similar principles.

Ayurvedic Medicines That Work Best for Diabetes

The top Ayurvedic remedies for diabetes are as follows.

Giloy

It is common practice to use giloy as a Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna due to the herb's capacity to both reduce blood sugar and stimulate insulin production. The powdered form of giloy, as well as the leaves and bark of the herb, can be infused in water and consumed first thing in the morning.

Triphala

Haritaki, Alma, and Bibhitaki are all part of this powdered mix. This powder was first used around 1500 B.C. Constipation is relieved, digestive health is enhanced, and blood sugar levels are normalized. It has a high concentration of antioxidants. People with diabetes and those predisposed to the disease may benefit from Triphala because it inhibits glycation enzymes. High blood glucose levels harm the body because of glycation, in which sugar molecules destroy protein molecules, potentially leading to vision loss and nerve damage. You should also know about Herpes Simplex Virus in Patna.

Turmeric

Turmeric is effective against allergies, cancer, inflammation, and even diabetes. It cleans the blood and boosts insulin sensitivity by making it easier for glucose to enter the cells. Turmeric and aloe vera are a great combination. Curcumin, a component of turmeric, shows promise as a potential aid in controlling diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated its efficacy in preventing weight gain, reducing blood sugar levels, and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Tulsi

Tulsi, a plant native to India, has been used as an effective Medicine of Diabetes in Patna due to its exceptional healing powers. It helps with a wide range of malignancies and bacterial infections, too. Tulsi can also be helpful if you suffer from a cold, cough, or sore throat. In Ayurvedic medicine, it plays a crucial role. You can eat it or take it as a supplement, and it's now widely cultivated over the globe. Every part of this plant, from the leaves and stems to the seeds and oil, has medicinal use. Blood sugar levels in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics have been proven to improve with its use. Consistently high cholesterol levels increase the risk of diabetes-related complications like vascular disease and stroke in people with diabetes. Holy basil has been shown to mitigate this danger. Tulsi enhances pancreatic beta-cell activity, improving muscle cell glucose uptake.

Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Diabetes

Patients undergoing Ayurvedic treatment for sugar dependency are closely monitored and guided through the process. In the early stages of diabetes and certain chronic instances, Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna has been reported.

You said something about preparing. If you mind, what for ? And how would you recommend doing so ?

Preparing for the very obvious shifts that are happening in our world.

I recommend becoming sovereign as much as you can : through investing in land if you can (Sol has a lot of resources on that, her blog is @eloquentlinguist ), invest in gold and silver, buy heirloom seeds, stock up on : Magnesium (liquid), Activated charcoal (helps with drawing out toxins and heavy metals, in case you are forced to ingest something against your will, and for general detoxes), powdered ginger, Healing herbs/powders (such as moringa, tulsi, haritaki, peppermint, chaga, corn silk, nettle), water, generators, solar batteries, and basic hygiene necessities. Print out the documents/books that are important to you, keep a physical copy always.

Prepare spiritually by resting in your power, cultivating peace and calmness, keeping your body clean (I recommend liquid fasts), praying/meditating, and whatever practice you do, be consistent with it.

I will reiterate this though : there is absolutely no need to panic, stay grounded and confident in the universe’s/God’s ability to sustain you.

Vol 1.

In dedication to Marie Harrison, Hunters Point environmental activist, and all indigenous peoples lost, stolen, detained, migrating, creating, thriving, resisting, loving, and protecting Earth.

II.

Our intention is to share the wisdom we have gained in this lifetime through popular education, decolonization, direct action, and our inherent willpower to heal ourselves, loved ones, relatives, and pachamama (Mother Earth) from all that we have been through and all that is to come.

III.

We are living in the Anthropocene, a geological time period marked by the altering of Earth by human activity. In recent years we have seen record-setting storms, droughts, and fires around the world. The destruction of the environment and the exploitation of resources is directly linked to the rise of global fascism. It is reaching its peak and manifesting in exploitation, oppression, and the poisoning of people and the earth. Communities of color are most affected by climate change and environmental destruction from industry. Both biodiversity and cultural diversity are rapidly being homogenized. Climate change and resource wars are displacing people around the world and fueling massive waves of immigration. Our Black and Indigenous relatives are already living in this post-apocalyptic world after having been dispossessed by colonialism in the past and at this very moment. Our ancestors knew then and we know now that the end of one world means the beginning of a new one. How can we create a world worth living in? How can we ensure that it is one that the next seven generations can survive and thrive in?

This guide was made to help navigate the modern ecological crisis. When we speak of ecology, we include people, communities, and cultures along with plants, animals and the land. Human beings are animals that are part of nature; therefore, a part of ecosystems. This zine was created on stolen Ohlone land that has been colonized three times. We recognize colonialism as an on-going act of destruction of communities and the land. It is important that we let Black, Indigenous, and Queer, Trans and Two-Spirit people (BI-QTPOC) lead us in our work towards liberation. Indigenous people around the world have been at the frontlines of the war against colonialism and continue to be as we see with our relatives in the Amazonia, Africa, West Papua, Turtle Island, and First Nations tierras. Although science and technology offer some solutions to climate change, we must take the initiative to make changes in our own lives so that our children and grandchildren will inherit a livable planet. Technological fixes only perpetuate the capitalist system that has wreaked havoc on our planet. The only true solution to climate change is revolution.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” - Assata Shakur

IV.

Indigenous Existence as Anti-Colonial, Anti-Fascist Resistance:

We’d like to acknowledge that global Indigenous communities have and continue to be the agents of cultivating and preserving “theory” and “analysis” when it comes to protecting the earth and do not see their existence as mutually exclusive from it.

“We are not defending nature. We are nature defending itself!”

Image from solidarity action for Amazonia, via @mundano_sp on Instagram

Theories to help us understand our current situation and how to strategize:

Ecology is the study of the relationship between different organisms in an ecosystem. A fundamental aspect of ecology is the interconnectedness of all life.

Ecofeminism recognizes the connection between the domination of nature and the domination of humans.

Ecowomanism builds upon black feminism, ecofeminism, and environmentalism. Ecowomanism is based upon the intersectionality of oppression, including social injustices and ecological injustices. It challenges the whitewashing of environmentalism and acknowledges the contributions of women of African descent and women of color to the environmental movement.

“Ecowomanism is discourse, dialogue, a conversation that centers the voices, experiences, and sociological perspectives of women of African descent and women of color on the environment.” – Rev. Dr. Melanie L. Harris

Indigenous Anarchism is malleable, embraces change, and explores what survivance looks like as remnants of genocide. Because it identifies colonialism as the root cause of the daunting state of things it does not seek to include coerced and collaborative worldviews. How do we manifest our ungovernable force of nature? This definition was crowdsourced at the Indigenous Anarchist Convergence in August 2019 occupied Dine territory.

Ecosocialism blends ecological and marxist theory. Ecosocialists believe that capitalism is the root of war, poverty and environmental destruction and that dismantling capitalism will help solve these issues.

Geocommunism is a theory that has been developed by political geographer Arun Saldanha that argues that capitalism is the root of climate change and societal inequality. Geocommunism proposes a communist revolution rooted in intersectionality and ecological consciousness.

Excerpt from the geocommunist manifesto:

The Anthropocene has to be posited as the material and theoretical ground of any concept of social justice. The combat for justice starts with four facts: 1)resources are per definition finite, 2) the earth system has been irrevocably altered by human production, 3) positive feedback loops under capital are accelerating severe perturbations to ecosystems, 4) humans are in the last instance evolutionary entities at risk of starvation, disease and brutality. Scientists predicting half of humanity will perish by 2100 are already proposing fascist responses to these four facts.

https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/arunsaldanha/geocommunism

Social Ecology is the exploration of connections between people and the environment. Anarchist theorist Murray Bookchin analyzes the interdependence of social formations, institutions, and has radically inspired the emergence and sustenance of the Kurdish liberation movement.

VI.

Solidarity looks like Anti-Colonial Direct Action:

Image description: Tuira Kayapó, has been fighting to protect the amazon in Brazil for decades from western multinational companies. She ran the blade of her machete three times over the President of Light holding Company Petrobras cheeks and in her native tongue warned, “You are a liar. We do not need electricity. Electricity is not going to give us our food. We need our rivers to flow freely: our future depends on it. We need our jungles for hunting and gathering. We do not need your dam.”

VII.

Disaster Preparedness:

As climate change worsens, natural disasters will increase in severity and frequency. The Bay Area is long over do for a big Earthquake. The East Bay is particularly vulnerable to quakes because of Hayward fault. Although we cannot prevent natural disasters, we can prepare for them. Consider organizing with your neighborhood to create a disaster plan.

IIX.

Environmental Trauma and Grief:

There is so much pain on Earth. Emotional responses like grief, sadness, anger, depression, anxiety, and dissociation are all normal responses to all the trauma on Earth. Give yourself space to mourn the state of Earth. Honor these feelings, but also try to transmute pain into action. These feelings may very well fuel our revolution.

We must fight and care for the living.

The biggest Polluter on the planet is the United States Military.

The United States Military has caused many environmental and health catastrophes. All the nuclear testing and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam and Cuba, have poisoned the people and land all over the world. This state sponsored violence begins here at home from native reservations to sacrifice zones in low income, black and brown neighborhoods. Our indigenous relatives here on Turtle Island throw down against pipelines, tar sands, uranium and coal mining on their land for water, the right to exist, survival. Here in the bay area there are several neighborhoods that are contaminated from naval bases like Treasure Island and Hunters Point that are still toxic. It is people of color and poor people that are most likely to live in these areas, be exposed to the toxins, and develop deadly diseases as a result of this ongoing violation and genocide.

XI.

Common Toxins

Many products contain toxic substances that can cause you harm. These toxins eventually leak into the environment which then causes ecological damage. Unfortunately, many chemicals are already in our waterways and soil. You can test your water and soil to see what toxins are in there. Look out for these common toxins and try to switch to alternatives.

Search Engine for Body Safety Database: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

DIY cleaning products

All-purpose cleaner:

Put a mixture of one part water with one part vinegar into a spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of essential oils like lemon, rosemary, lavender, or place a sprig of lavender or rosemary in the bottle.

Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water then pour mixture onto sponge or rag.

Glass Cleaner:

Add 2 cups of water, ½ cup of white or apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol, and 1 or 2 drops of an essential oil for scent. Pour into a spray bottle and wet a paper towel or cloth before wiping mirror or window.

Houseplants that purify the air:

Snake Plant / Lengua de Suegra

Bamboo Palm

Aloe Vera

Boston Fern

Peace Lily (toxic to cats)

Ficus / Weeping Fig

Dracaena

Spider Plant

Plants that purify soil (phytoremediation)

XII.

Things you can do (Sustainability Guide):

Reparations.

Support indigenous resistance movements and projects

Support environmental organizations led by BI-QTPOC

Study and undermine colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy.

Eat seasonal and local vegetables and fruits

Limit use of toxic products

Limit use of single-use plastic products(carry reusable containers and utensils)

From our radical, dreamy, anti-colonial imaginaire of a mother, Octavia Butler we leave you with an Earthseed verse from the Book of the Living…

“Kindness eases change, love quiets fear

And a sweet and powerful obsession blunts pain

Diverts rage and engages us in the greatest

The most intense of our chosen struggles”

We have a duty to ourselves, our relatives, and the earth. To abandon any of this is to abandon all those and that which makes us possible here now. Heal up, rise up, find your crew and act up..the time is up.

Rajasthan- Ajmer, Pushkar, Udaipur

Day 3, 4 and 5

We started from Jaipur around 7 AM to Udaipur in a cab which local hotel people helped arrange. (Note: online rental of cabs turns out much cheaper)

We planned to visit Ajmer and Pushkar on the way.

Ajmer and Pushkar Kahani

We reached Pushkar first after a beautiful drive on NA 48. We could smell the presence of a shrine from a distance with the fragrance of incense sticks filling the air. Once we reached the temple, we got pulled into a ritual by the Pushkar Sarovar. What I noticed is that the pooja style is so different from South India. Having used to see the priests in Dhotis, I was flabbergasted to see priests wearing casual jeans. Pushkar has a Brahma temple which is one of the very few Brahma temples in the world. It dates back to 14th century. The temple resides by the side of a serene Pushkar lake which was decorated by the beautiful petals of roses offered by the devotees. Pushkar lake is divided into multiple ghats where people were seen taking a dip in the holy lake. Mandakki/beaten rice and sugar bits given as prasada.

The best part of Pushkar was having lunch at a local Dhaba where the rotis and dal bhaati choorna were made fresh using firewood.

Ajmer was an experience. Ajmer is known for the shrine of the Muslim Sufi saint Garib Nawaz, Ajmer Sharif Dargah built by Akbar in the 16th century.

We walked for nearly a mile to reach the Dargah. The road was decorated with green and white flags. The streets were crowded with shops of colourful dhoopas on both the sides. As we reached near, I spotted a lot of shops with baskets of fragrant rose petals. When we entered the place, one one side we found people chanting prayers seated in rows. On the other side, there were people offering their prayers leaning against the prayer wall.

It was night when we reached Udaipur.

Udaipur Memories

Udaipur, aka City of Lakes welcomed us with cold weather and lit up lakes around the city.

We had an entire day to explore the city of lakes. After a yummy South Indian breakfast at our homestay, our first stop of the day was at City Palace.

Before we visited palace, we spotted a beautiful temple rich in architecture just outside the palace. Jagadish temple, built around 16th century is a work of Māru-Gurjara architecture.

City palace which at the time our visit was famously known as the place where Ambani’s daughter had her Sangeeth, is a magnificent structure with view of the lakes from all corners of the palace. The palace was built over a period of 400 years by the Mewar Dynasty.

The interiors of the palace is something to lookout for with intricate mirror-work, marble-work, murals, wall paintings, silver-work and leftover of colored glass on the walls and ceilings.

Ghats; series of steps leading to the lake, were constructed to fetch water from the lake. The ghat near City palace by Lake Pichola is called Gangaur Ghat. The ghats areas are calm with Ravenhatah players doing their magic.

One of the place totally worth visiting is Bagore Ki Haweli. Its a mansion converted to a museum now housing world’s largest pagdi, puppets and various artifacts. Blush pink Bougenvilla flowers filled the front yard of the haweli.

Haweli’s have a concept of courtyard for activities like socialising, trading markets, cultural performances. The courtyard also had a plant of Tulsi in the center. Watching the occasional showers fall into the courtyard while eating a hot plate of mawa kachori must have been a view to watch!

The haweli had kitchen, prayer room in the ground floor and rest of the rooms in first floor with terrace opening up to the view of the peaceful Lake Pichola. Sheesh Mahal was also part of the Haweli. There was a room built for a widow which was all white and a photograph of her husband.

A part of Bagore Ke Haweli is converted to a theater where folk dances of Rajasthan will be performed every evening. The ticket counters open up just 30 minutes before the show and there will be limited number of seats. Some of the folk dances performed were Ghoomar, pot dance, dance with lamps.

After getting a dose of the royal history of Udaipur, I wanted to experience the markets and streets of modern Udaipur. It was so structured starting with shops for silver, followed by wood, steel, processed foods, dals and tea powders, ending with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Sahelion Ki Bari is a garden with fountains which was built for the queen and the royal ladies. You might like this place if you are into botany as varieties of flowering, medicinal plants are cultivated here.

How can we not go on a lake ride in a city of lakes? What better time than sunset to go on a boat ride? Boat ride in Fateh Sagar lake at the perfect time of sunset was one of the best experiences we had at Udaipur. The water was gleaming golden orange reflecting the rays of sunset. To add more hue to the frame, we had a smiling and talented Ravenhatah instrumentalist playing the tunes of Sandeshi Ati Hai, Pardesi pardesi meri jana nahi. Perfect memories were made and moments were captured by the selfie freaks on board. 🙂

We ended the day by walking on the side of Ganguar Ghat where the entire place was lit up and reflection of the lit up structures in the lake was a view to watch!

Places Visited: City Palace Udaipur Market Saheliyon ke Baari Lake Pichola

Days Spent: 2 days

Happy Exploring!

Stay tuned to read the last leg of my trip to Rajasthan!

13 Amazing Benefits of Using High-Quality Incense Sticks

Incense sticks or Agarbattis have been an integral part of prayers in many religions for several centuries now. They fill the air with a pleasant fragrance and provide many spiritual and therapeutical benefits.

When one buys incense sticks online with high-quality and natural ingredients, they can get all the following benefits these aromatic sticks offer-

1. Help connect with your Spiritual Side

Major religions worldwide believe burning incense sticks can help activate the heart chakra. This chakra is responsible for the better connection between the soul to the body, helping you connect with your spiritual self. One can use dhoop cones or dhoop powders to make the poojas and prayers joyous and spiritual.

2. Boosts Serotonin

Burning incense sticks is said to trigger the serotonin level, the chemical in the brain that is responsible for happiness, thereby enhancing your mood. It can also provide relief from headaches

3. Cultivates Mindfulness and Generosity:

Ancient cultures believe that burning incense means giving to the atmosphere without keeping any expectations in return. This act is considered akin to generosity directly related to ‘good karma’. It is said to guide you in the journey towards mindfulness.

4. A Natural Air Freshener

Burning incense sticks can act as a natural air freshener by filling the air with an uplifting scent. Commercial air fresheners may contain harmful chemicals. Hence burning a neem or tulsi agarbatti can be healthy and soothing.

5. Enhances Libido

The aroma from burning incense sticks or wax candles can behave like an aphrodisiac and enhance sexual desire. It makes the act enjoyable by improving energy and confidence.

6. Helps Fight Anxiety And Depression

Research has proven that the relaxing scent from essential oils can help deal with various symptoms of depression such as loss of appetite, restlessness, fatigue, lack of sleep, irritable moods, headaches, and pains. Burning incense while meditating can help keep intrusive thoughts at bay thereby, reducing anxiety.

7. Triggers Creativity

Certain fragrances such as lemon, vetiver, and more, work well on boosting cognitive functions, thereby improving mental alertness and triggering new ideas.

8. Improves Concentration

Try burning incense sticks while meditating if you want to meditate but cannot obtain the focus to do so. It helps increase awareness and clarity of the mind while meditating, studying, or working. A fresh sandal agarbatti can work wonders for meditation.

9. They Act as Insect and Mosquito Repellent

Bugs and mosquitoes can be sensitive to certain ingredients used in the incense sticks and hence stay away from a room with incense sticks burning.

10. Helps You Sleep Better

The soothing aroma from incense sticks can have a natural sedating effect that can help you unwind after a tiring day and sleep well. Ensure you purchase hand-rolled and all-natural incense sticks from manufacturers like Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa agarbatti. Low-quality incense sticks may cause respiratory issues, eye irritations, and skin problems in some people.

11. Alleviates Stress

Inhaling the aroma from incense sticks can help calm the mind and enhance mood. Essential oils are known for their ability to invigorate senses, bring down anxiety, and have a soothing effect on the nerves.

Scents like eucalyptus can reduce palpitations and make you feel at peace. Also, incense sticks with Lavender or Frankincense essential oils are great for reducing stress. So next time you feel agitated or stressed, try burning an agarbatti.

12. Gets Rid of Germs And Bacteria In The Environment

Agarbattis are a formulation of natural herbal ingredients known for their antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Lighting incense sticks can kill germs and cleanse the environment. Try Tulsi Agarbattis to protect the surroundings you live in.

13. Acts as Aromatherapy

Incense sticks are one of the best aromatherapy tools. Studies have shown that the aroma emanating from burning incense sticks is therapeutical. The essential oils in the agarbattis help replicate the effects of aromatherapy to enhance spiritual and mental well-being.

Check out Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa agarbatti for a unique therapeutical experience.

Stress-Fighting Foods: What are Adaptogens?

New Post has been published on https://depression-md.com/stress-fighting-foods-what-are-adaptogens/

Stress-Fighting Foods: What are Adaptogens?

Stress is commonplace in our society. Whether it’s financial troubles or health concerns, Americans deal with stress every day. This normal physical response has been amplified more so during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 80 percent of people say the pandemic has caused significant stress in their life and an additional 67 percent say they have experienced more stress during COVID, according to the American Psychological Association.

With more stress comes an increased sense of urgency to find stress-relieving remedies, ranging from calming activities to breathing routines. Many people also turn to foods and herbal supplements, such as adaptogens, to help fight stress for them. But do these plants really work and should you try them? We will answer these common questions and provide you with information about side effects and risks to consider.

What are adaptogens?

Adaptogens are plants or herbs that are designed to increase your body’s ability to deal with stress. In other words, adaptogens help your body “adapt” to external stressors that can impact your health.

While adaptogens have increased in popularity with a movement toward organic, whole foods and natural medicinal practices, the term dates to 1947. In fact, the concept of using adaptogens for health purposes existed thousands of years ago in India. Ayurveda, a natural type of medicine, used plants, oils and spices for various treatment methods.

All adaptogens have three commonalities: they must be nontoxic at normal doses, they should help your ability to cope with stress and they should help the body return to a state of homeostasis.

Research on adaptogens is limited, although its proponents view adaptogens as a way to train your body for the stress endured daily. More specifically, one theory revolves around how adaptogens affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the stress response, metabolism and immune system responses. By influencing the HPA axis, the belief is these adaptogens keep your stress levels in a more neutral state.

Despite its claims of stress-reducing properties, the FDA has not approved the use of adaptogens — and therefore doesn’t regulate them — as a therapeutic treatment or as a substance that meets the criteria for medical use. This is a way of the FDA saying it’s unclear if adaptogens can cure or prevent any illnesses or ailments. Instead, adaptogens are considered dietary supplements, which don’t require as much oversight as prescription medications.

List of adaptogens and their benefits

Adaptogens come in many forms. Some can be eaten with meals, while others are too bitter to be consumed whole. As a result, many companies have marketed adaptogens as teas or tinctures (concentrated extracts of herbs soaked in water). Others come in powders that you can add to smoothies.

There are dozens and dozens of plants and herbs that are considered adaptogens. Here are some of the more common adaptogens and their potential benefits:

Ginseng

A popular herb among tea drinkers, ginseng comes in two forms as an adaptogen: Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). In animal studies, ginseng improves stamina and may also boost the immune system. Side effects include high blood pressure and tachycardia (rapid or irregular heartbeat).

Eleuthero

What used to be known as Siberian ginseng is now known as eleuthero to avoid confusion. Herbalists claim eleuthero can give you energy while also helping you sleep. Side effects can include mild drowsiness, anxiety and irritability. The use of eleuthero can impact people who have pre-existing cardiovascular health issues.

Schisandra

In various smaller studies, this fruit extract from a berry found in Asia was said to have some positive effect on liver conditions, stomach disorders, fatigue and sleep. Schisandra is also known as a five-flavor berry as an ode to the five flavors of traditional Chinese medicine: sour, bitter, sweet, salty and pungent. The fruit can cause digestive issues such as heartburn, upset stomach, decreased appetite and stomach pain.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha comes from the root of an evergreen shrub found in parts of Africa and Asia. It has calming properties instead of a stimulating effect. Some proponents claim ashwagandha can help regulate cortisol levels, thus controlling stress. Chronically high levels of cortisol can lead to a litany of health problems, ranging from cardiovascular problems and weight gain to anxiety and depression. The most common side effects of ashwagandha impact the digestive system, including diarrhea, upset stomach and nausea. People with hyperthyroidism should avoid taking this adaptogen.

Rhodiola

In traditional Eastern medicine, this plant root is a stimulant used to reduce mild anxiety, depression and fatigue due to stress. You shouldn’t take rhodiola if you’re already prescribed high blood pressure medications, antidepressants or other central nervous system drugs. Side effects include dizziness and dry mouth.

Tulsi (Holy basil)

Similar to the basil you use for culinary dishes, tulsi is a fragrant herb from Asia that produces purple flowers. The chemicals in holy basil, which is spicier and more bitter than traditional sweet basil, are thought to lower stress levels. Holy basil could worsen symptoms for people with hypothyroidism and may also interfere with diabetes medications. It may also cause your blood to clot more slowly, especially when combined with other drugs that slow blood clotting.

Astragalus

The root of this plant may boost your immune system, while increasing stamina and strength. Side effects may include fatigue, headache and low blood pressure. Astragalus can interfere with drugs that suppress the immune system.

Cordyceps

This is a fungus that grows on caterpillar larvae in China. The fungus is hard to cultivate, so the cordyceps found in dietary supplements can be grown in a laboratory. In lab tests, cordyceps has been known to help stimulate immune system cells and is known for its calming effects. Because it can cause bleeding issues, you should avoid taking cordyceps if you’re on blood-thinning medications.

Reishi mushroom

This Asian mushroom has plant sterols, which block cholesterol from being absorbed. It can also help stimulate the immune system and may also assist in improving adrenal gland function to reduce stress. Avoid taking reishi mushrooms if you are on blood thinners or are immunocompromised. Side effects include nausea and insomnia.

Foods that cause stress

Aside from adaptogens and other foods that may be beneficial in fighting against stress, there are also other foods to avoid that can cause stress.

There is a direct connection between foods and your emotional state — 90% of neurotransmitter serotonin receptors are in the gut. Gut bacteria play an important role in your microbiome, and any disruptions can lead to increased stress.

In addition, processed foods full of sugar and sweeteners create an inflammatory response. Those same foods also cause constant blood sugar spikes that can affect your emotions and mood. This explains why the symptoms of a sugar rush — the high followed by a sudden crash — can mimic a panic attack.

The simple answer is to cut back on sweets, sugary drinks and other processed meats that contain sugar and sodium. Swap out these foods for fruit, vegetables, plant-based proteins and more fish. A study from 2018 found a healthy diet, more specifically the Mediterranean diet, or avoiding a diet high in foods that cause inflammation, can help protect against depression.

Consult your doctor before trying adaptogens

The broad nature of adaptogens make it difficult to know which herbs, plants or supplemental mixes are right for you. It requires an extensive knowledge of how each plant works and how it may interact with a particular individual based on their medical history.

With that in mind, consult your primary care physician before trying any adaptogens. Certain supplements can negatively interact with prescriptions you take. They may also cause various side effects, especially if taken in higher doses. Some adaptogens affect your hormones, so avoid using any of these substances if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Here is a list of additional foods to avoid if you’re breastfeeding.

Since dietary supplements aren’t subjected to strict regulation, drug manufacturers can market their products without oversight. Be wary of any adaptogens marketed as supplements that can cure your anxiety or depression. There are limited studies of the effects of adaptogens and more research is needed.

For example, several drug manufacturers found themselves in hot water with the FDA for claiming certain adaptogens could help treat or prevent COVID-19. One company falsely marketed ashwagandha and echinacea as two herbal supplements that could help treat COVID. Another company incorrectly claimed that adaptogens, such as ginseng and ashwagandha, could mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure COVID-19.

In addition to discussing dietary supplements with your doctor, check the labels of products you intend to buy for United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) seals.

Ocimum Sanctum, as Growth Promoter in Poultry-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES

Abstract

The present mini review is based on the study of effect of Ocimum sanctum leaves powder/extract on body weight when supplemented to broiler chicken in feed/water. O. sanctum belongs to family lamiaceace and contains compounds such as carnosol, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, eugenol, cirsilineol and cirsimaritin which are known to possess antioxidant properties. The reduced oxidative stress due to supplementation of this plant to broilers is found to enhance the growth rate and thus result in higher body weight.

Keywords: Ocimum sanctum; Tulsi; Body weight; Growth; Broilers; Chicken

Introduction

Poultry farming is done at large scale throughout the world. They are raised for food both meat and eggs and are a source of income for a large part of our community. Growth and health are major concern in poultry farming. The motive of raising poultry is achieved only when they attain good growth in terms of muscles, and body weight. Now a days, use of herbal plants as growth promoters and as alternative medicine is increasing at a fast rate.

Ocimum sanctum belonging to family lamiaceace is widely known for its medicinal potentials. It is also known as Holy basil and Tulsi. It grows easily in the tropics and warm regions. It is distributed and cultivated widely throughout India. It is an erect, branched, fragrant plant which usually attains a height of about 30-60cm when mature. Different parts of this plant like leaves, seeds and stem are used in Ayurveda and Siddha Systems of Medicine for prevention and cure of many illnesses. Recent studies have revealed that feeding of O. sanctum leaves either in the form of powder or extract to broiler chicken enhances the growth rate and increases the body weight. The major growth promoters in the past were antibiotics but currently use of alternative herbal medicines is increasing as these are ecologically safe.

Discussion

O. sanctum leaves can be fed in the form of dry powder mixed with feed or as extract mixed in water. Hasan et al. [1] evaluated that supplementation of O. sanctum leaf extract in water significantly increases the body weight of cobb broilers by 16.97% as compared to control group. Biswas et al. [2] also determined that broilers supplemented with O. sanctum leaves extract @1ml/liter in drinking water showed significantly higher body weight in comparison to control group. Alom et al. [3] concluded that supplementation of Tulsi leaves extract @2ml/ liter drinking water of broiler results in significantly higher live body weight.

Similarly studies have shown that feeding of O. sanctum leaves dry powder have also resulted in significant increase in body weight of broilers. Singh et al. [4] reported that on feeding of O. sanctum leaf powder to broiler chicks @1 %level in feed, there is significant increase in muscle weight of breast, thigh, and legs resulting in higher body weight compared to control chicks. Mode et al. [5] demonstrated that feeding of O. sanctum dry leaves @3g/Kg feed for two weeks from 5th to 6th week to immune suppressed broiler birds protected the birds from immune suppression and they also achieved the required target by significant increase in their body weight gain. Gupta & Charan [6] observed that maximum weight gain was observed in-group of chickens treated with 200mg of dried leaves powder per bird daily for 15 days as compared to control group and at this dose level chicken had not shown any hematological, biochemical, histopathological, gross as well as clinical harmful effects. Kumari [7] reported the effect of Tulsi leaf powder fed @5g/kg feed on body weight gain in broilers experimentally infected with colibacillosis. It was noticed that body weight gain in O. sanctum leaf supplemented groups (infected as well as non-infected) was significantly higher as compared to their respective non- O. sanctum leaf supplemented control groups.

The increase in body weight of chicken fed O. sanctum could be due to antioxidant properties of the compounds found in Tulsi. When the oxidative stress is reduced than proper growth of body occurs resulting in more body weight. This is supported by Kelm et al. [8] who reported that O. sanctum contains a number of compounds (carnosol, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, eugenol, cirsilineol and cirsimaritin), all of which have shown to have potent redox/anti-oxidant properties as well as antiinflammatory activity. Siraji et al. [9] also reported that body weight in restrain stressed albino rats group was lower than in Tulsi treated group which might be due to hypophagia, altered secretion of various metabolic hormones and neuro transmitters, changes in membrane permeability & hypovolaemia resulting from stress induced secretion of corticosterone and epinephrine through hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis activation in stressed group.

There are studies which report that increase in body weight could be due to antioxidant effect of Tulsi. Reddy et al. [10] reported that dietary supplementation of Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) leaf powder (0.5%) in broiler chickens enhanced the growth rate and there was significant (P<0.01) increase in super oxidedismutase and catalase levels in these broilers so as to combat the oxidative stress which was produced more during the rapid growth period. They further added that its combination with selenium (0.3ppm) enhanced the levels of these enzymes more effectively.

The antioxidant effect of O. sanctum is supported by many workers. Bharavi et al. [11] investigated that administration of herbal adaptive, Ocimum sanctum @0.1% through feed reversed the antioxidant enzymes of RBC such as superoxide dismutase and catalase, non enzymatic antioxidants glutathione and lipid per oxidation marker (TBARS) produced due to cadmium- induced oxidative toxicity in broiler chicken.

Sujatha et al. [12] conducted a comparative study on anti stressor and anti oxidative effects of synthetic vitamin C and polyherbal feed premix (containing Phyllanthusemblica, O. sanctum (leaves), Terminalia chebula (fruit), Withania somenifera (root) and Shilajit) supplementation in broilers during the summer months of June to July After the 3rd week, mean plasma glucose, cholesterol and antioxidant enzyme glutathione reeducates (GSSG) were significantly (P<0.01) lower in treated groups than control. Stress hormones namely cortisol and thyroxine (T4) were observed to be significantly (P>0.05] higher in the untreated controls than the treated groups. Thus, they concluded that oxidative stress in broilers during summer could be ameliorated using antioxidant synthetic vitamin C and the poly herbal anti stressor, immune modulator and adaptogenic feed premix containing O. sanctum.

These studies clearly indicate that feeding of Tulsi leaf in broiler chickens accelerates growth response of the birds. The mechanism, by which growth is stimulated, is yet to be established from different aspects such as growth hormones, enzymes or other factors responsible for cell division. More research is required in this area to elucidate the mechanism behind this. Though it is clear from research conducted till date that O. sanctum enhances growth rate in broilers.

HSV 1 and 2 Treatment in Patna

How Ayurveda Can Help with Herpes Symptoms Naturally

Two forms of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be traced back to the Herpes Simplex Virus in Patna (HSV). Antiviral drugs are available to treat the symptoms of these diseases, however many patients would rather try the Ayurvedic remedies. This system of medicine is based on the belief that everyone has a different constitution (their "dosha") that affects their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Using herbs, nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and other natural therapies, Ayurvedic medicine seeks to restore balance to the body and mind.

HSV 1 and 2 Treatment in Patna When treating a patient, Ayurvedic Medicine for Diabetes in Patna looks for and treats the underlying causes of their symptoms. Diabetes treatment in Ayurveda is based on similar principles.

Ayurvedic Medicines That Work Best for Diabetes

The top Ayurvedic remedies for diabetes are as follows.

A Joyful Cup!

by Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

With our non-stop, busy lives, it’s hard to find a quiet moment to relax and recharge. But even the practice of pouring a cup of tea can bring peace of mind – especially with the right herbs. Whether you take your tea at high noon or prefer a bedtime brew, these garden herbs provide the perfect mood-boosting cuppa.

Making and sipping a cup of tea is one of the easiest and most enjoyable self-care rituals. In fact, studies show that simply holding a warm cup {regardless of its contents} makes people friendlier and perceive the world in a more optimistic light. Add to that cup some relaxing and restorative teas, and the effects become even more powerful. As many gardeners will attest, stepping out into one’s very own backyard to harvest herbs for that cup of tea furthers a connection with nature, and you discover how deeply enjoyable plant empowerment can be. Looking for a tasty tea featuring herbs you can grow easily in your yard to soothe frayed nerves, help you sleep, or improve your energy? Here are some of my absolute favourites.

Holy Basil {Ocimmum tennuiflorum, syn. O. sanctum}

Also called tulsi, holy basil fits almost any niche you might need for your nervous-adrenal system. Aromatic and delicious with heady notes of clove, mint, and bubblegum, holy basil lends itself fresh or dry to hot and cold water. It quickly calms but gently energises, with effects that improve if you sip it regularly. As a stress-busting adaptogen, tulsi helps modulate the stress hormone cortisol, which also helps lower and balance blood sugar. The aromatics improve focus, lift the spirits, and ease anxiety. It blends well with other herbs too: peppermint for a perk, lemon balm for relaxation after dinner, rose to nourish the heart and spirit, and green tea for energy and stable blood sugar with a meal. Grow it as you would culinary basil: primarily as an annual in good soil with regular moisture, good drainage, and full sun. An Indian herb, it thrives in hot weather and tolerates containers. Harvest regularly, pinching back and using those prolific flowering stalks. Various species and varieties can be used interchangeably. The Kapoor/temperate {and often unnamed} variety grows most vigorously; new evidence suggests that it’s actually a variety of O. africanum, but most seed sellers still label it as O. sanctum. Homegrown or direct-from-the-farm dried tulsi is vastly superior to what is commonly sold in stores.

Lemon Balm {Melissa officinalis}

This is one of the most popular medicinal herbs cultivated in the garden – and for good reason: the perennial grows prolifically and has many uses, and it’s one of the most-revered nervine herbs to nourish and support the nervous system. It quickly eases anxiety and calms frayed nerves, agitation, hyperactivity, anger, and hypervigilance, yet it doesn’t over-sedate during the daytime and also uplifts the spirits, gladdens the heart, and improves focus. Studies have found it useful for memory, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder {ADHD}, and cognitive decline in children to seniors. Fresh or dry, hot or cold, lemon balm’s nice on its own, but tastes better and is more effective in combination with other herbs: holy basil for a calm-alert sate, mint for a pick-me-up, lemongrass or lemon verbena for lemony flavor, skullcap, and passionflower for sleep.

For tea: Dry lemon balm carefully – in a single layer or hanging with good airflow and not too much heat. It loses its lemon flavor pretty quickly once dried. Commercial dried lemon balm pales in comparison to home-grown or direct-from-the-farm.

Ashwagandha {Withania somnifera}

Compared to the other herbs mentioned in this article, ashwagandha takes a bit more time to grow and yields a smaller harvest because we use the roots. Taken daily, the adaptogen promotes deep energy and the strength, vitality {and yes, libido} of a stallion. It gently boosts thyroid function and also acts as a nervine. Some find it helps sleep. Simmer it with chai spices for tea or add the powder to hot milk with honey and nutmeg.

This Ayurvedic Indian herb prefers hot, sunny, somewhat dry spots with minimal competition from other plants. The size it reaches is a good indicator of how big the root harvest will be. Dig the roots in fall of the first year in cooler climates {it won’t survive winter} or wait until the second autumn in warmer zones 8 and up.

For tea: Scrub the roots clean in cold water, chop with clippers, and dry them in a single layer in a warmish spot with good ventilation or a dehydrator. It stinks as it’s drying, but the odour mellows with time. Once it’s dry, you can powder it by grinding it in a bullet blender and sifting through a fine-mesh strainer. Use caution if you have a hyperthyroid disease or are sensitive to nightshade family plants like potatoes and tomatoes.

Gotu Kola {Centella asiatica}

This plant hails from India and Sri Lanka, where it thrives in hot, soggy, rich soil in dappled sun. You can plant it as an annual or keep it in a pot to winter indoors, being mindful to water regularly. Gotu kola offers subtle yet profound benefits that accumulate when taken routinely for months at a time, particularly in high doses {up to an ounce per day}. It has gentle stress-relieving adaptogen properties, eases anxiety and jumpy nerves, but is most popular for its cognition-boosting and nerve-restoring effects. Rumour has it that the elephant’s diet of Gotu kola is why the animal has such a great memory! You can cook it as a leafy green, eat it fresh, or juice it. which is popular in its native lands.

For tea: While the flavor isn’t amazing, it’s bland enough to add to more palatable herbs like mint, holy basil, and lemon balm or broths cooked with garlic and onions. Use the leaves and all aerial parts.

Rose {Rosa spp.}

The petals add a splash of colour to tea blends to lift the spirits and encourage us to be kinder to ourselves. The aromatics of these petals extract well in cold water or seltzer {let a full fresh blossom or two steep for several hours}. I infuse them in a glass bottle so I can “stop and see and sip the roses” when I’m busy, stressed, and overworked. Any rose that smells and tastes good and isn’t sprayed with chemicals will do – typically these include wild and heirloom species such as the moderately invasive seaside {R. rugosa} as well as Damask {R. damascena}, apothecary {R. gallica var. officinalis}, and cabbage {R. centifolia} rose. You can forage invasive multiflora rose {R. muliflora}, but do not plant it.

For tea: Harvest buds, full blossoms, and fresh petals, preferably early in the day before the heat has cooked out the aroma. Dry buds and petals for tea in a single layer with minimal heat.

Skullcap {Scutellaria lateriflora}

This wild plant of the woodland water’s edge {growing among wild mint and bugleweed} prefers slightly damp, rich-to-sandy soil in partial to full sun. It can be a bit persnickety in the garden with good and bad years. When it thrives, harvest in abundance because it’s so useful, and good-quality skullcap is rare on the market. Skullcap has relaxing nervine properties well-suited for people who feel edgy, anxious, or hyperactive, as if their nervous system is in overdrive – when scents, sounds, and even touch make everything worse. When the sound of your bed partner’s breathing keeps you from sleeping and oncoming headlights make your migraine feel like someone’s stabbing you through the eyes – there’s skullcap. Combined with more sedative herbs like passionflower, it helps lull you to sleep. Paired with the gentle energising and focus effects of holy basil or lemon balm, it makes a lovely tea in daytime blends for anxiety. Occasionally {but rarely}, regular use can aggravate depression or prove too sedating for daytime use.

For tea: Harvest once aerial parts are in bloom and dry carefully to avoid blackening, placing them in a thin layer or hanging in a place with good airflow and not too much moisture or heat {ideally in the dehydrator at 95-100 degrees F or so}.

Passionflower {Passiflora incarnata}

Coming from the Southeast, where the sprawling vine can be a bit of a pest, passionflower produces stunning, otherworldly flowers, inspiring missionaries to name it after the Passion of Christ. Passionflower’s aerial parts cool, calm, and sedate, and it’s one of our safest and most effective sleep ease {much more pleasant tasting than valerian and hops!}, easily enhanced with some spearmint, lemongrass, holy basil, or other flavorful herbs.

Also, consider a little passionflower solo or in blends for anxiety, anger, frustration, agitation, and stress-induced hypertension – just be aware that some people find it too sedating for daytime use. You can cultivate passionflower in a warm full- to part-sun spot with decent moisture and good soil, allowing it to amble along a fence, arbour, or trellis. It does well in pots and greenhouses too and can overwinter indoors in cooler climates. As a perennial, zone 6 is the edge of its winter-hardy range.

For tea: Simply prune back vines with happy-looking, vibrant growth, ideally in flower. Use the entire vine – stem, leaves, and flowers. Dry on low heat in a dehydrator to ensure thorough drying of the flower middles or use fresh in other recipes like tinctures.

Flavor With Purpose

Alongside your “relax and revive” teas, consider planting tried-and-true flavorful herbs. Though they’re not as specific for the nervous system, they do impact your mood and the medicinal activity of your blends, and they’ll also make them more delicious.

Mint {Mentha spp.} has probably already tucked itself into some corner of your garden – or threatened to take it over with its ambitious root runners. Perhaps no other herb is as useful for delicious tea blends, hot or cold. Peppermint {M. x piperita} and chocolate mint {a peppermint variety} provide perky and alert properties backed by science. Spearmint {M. spicata} more gently supports cognition and focus and makes a nice flavouring agent for sleep blends as well. Use apple mint {M. suaveolens} much like spearmint, and feel free to play around with other mints, such as pineapple mint {which is quite tasty but may not survive cold winter climates} and banana mint. Bear in mind it spreads and can also interbreed into bland minty hybrids. Consider slowing it down by planting it in big pots or out-of-the-way spots, keeping different species a bit spaced apart.

Rosemary {Rosmarinus officinalis}, like peppermint, offers perky-alert properties but also has a bit of a bitter, piney, resinous edge that adds complexity to tea blends. It’s fine dried but tastes better fresh.

Lemon verbena {Aloysia citrodora} and Lemongrass {Cymbopogon citratus} taste vastly better than lemon balm, adding a pleasant lemon flavor to tea blends that lift and calms the spirits. Lemon verbena resembles lemon cake {especially if combined with vanilla bean or extract and steeped in not-quite-boiling water}, whereas you may recognise lemongrass’s tropical flavor from Thai soups and curry. Of all the lemony herbs, lemongrass holds its flavor the longest but will still lose quite a bit after a year. For tea, dry the grassy tops and then cut them into small pieces with sharp scissors. Freeze the tightly rolled bottom stalks for cooking, cordials, seltzer, and broth. I prefer to keep dried lemon verbena leaves whole to hold their flavor longer, adding a few to my teapot, water bottle, or mug. Both are nice with lemon balm, sleep blends, green tea, or vanilla. Grow these tropical herbs in a pampered garden bed or large pot with full sun, warmth, good soil, and regular water. They don’t like to be crowded by other plants. Be aware that lemongrass can give you a nasty paper cut.

Korean liquorice mint {Agastache rugosa} and Anise hyssop {A. foeniculum} grow into beautiful purple flower spikes that self-seed all over the garden, and they’re so yummy, pretty, and easy enough to pull up or move around that you won’t mind. The two are nearly indistinguishable, with a flower profile ranging from honey-fennel to fennel-mint. Medicinally, this mint-family herb soothes the throat and tummy and has gentle nervine, calming activity. It tastes delicious with almost any other green, leafy herb. It will grow in part shade to full sun, good soil and moderate moisture are most important for big, happy plants. The short-lived perennial will die off after a few years, but by then the babies will be ready to take off.

Harvesting, Drying and Storing Herbs

Harvest leaves {with or without flowers} when the plant looks, smells, and tastes its best, usually just before or after it begins flowering. Cut the top one-third to two-thirds of the plant, making sure to leave at least a few sets of leaves behind. They’re best trimmed right above a leaf node, but you can also grab a bunch of plant material together and give it a “bad haircut.” Keep them on the stem for drying. You can cut lemongrass’s grassy tops for tea this way or if you want to also harvest the thick stalks for other recipes, cut up to one-third of the plant right at the base.

Dry your herbs in a thin or single layer with good airflow until they’re crispy dry. You can use a dehydrator {set to 95-110 degree F for best results}, but good dehydrators are expensive and fill up quickly. Alternately, air-dry in bundles or on hanging screens {I love mt iPomelo hanging herb-drying rack}, but humidity may prevent your herbs from getting totally dry. You can also loosely pack a brown paper bag with herbs, cinch shut with a clothespin, and leave it inside the car windshield on a warm, sunny day {if it’s really hot, place it in a shady spot, a clean trunk, and/or crack the windows}. Sensitive herbs like basil, lemon balm, and skullcap may blacken and degrade via the brown bag method due to the heat and reduced airflow; use a dehydrator instead or air-dry and then crisp in the car if needed when the herb is mostly dry.

Once your herbs are totally crisp-dry {no bendy stems}, you can move the leaves from the stems by stripping with your hands or rubbing over a screen. Store in a clean, air-tight glass jar in a cool, dark, dry spot like a cabinet or pantry.

Tea Blends To Try

Sleep Tea: 1/2 teaspoon each passionflower, skullcap, lemon balm, and spearmint steeped in hot water for 15 minutes in a 4- to a 6-ounce teacup and sweetened with honey.

Perky Alert Blend: 1/2 teaspoon each peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and Gotu kola plus a sprig of fresh rosemary steeped in 16 ounces of hot water for 15 minutes.

Happy Day Infused Water: A few sprigs of fresh holy basil and one or two rose blossoms in a glass bottle of cold water, steeped for 2 or more hours {holy basil and rose also blend well hot and/or dry}.

Ashwagandha Golden Milk: Simmer 1 teaspoon ashwagandha roots in 16 ounces of hot whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder and a pinch each of nutmeg and cardamom for 15 minutes. Strain and add honey or maple syrup to taste.

Ashwagandha Chai: Simmer 1 teaspoon ashwagandha with 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 cardamom pods, 1-star anise, and 5 cloves for 20 minutes. Strain and add milk/cream and sweetener if desired.

Happy Holy Lemon Tea: Combine equal parts lemon balm and holy basil fresh or dry in hot or cold water and let steep for 15 minutes. Exact quantities do not matter; it comes out nicely no matter what.

Good Morning, Tulsi: 1/2 teaspoon each holy basil and green tea {preferably jasmine green}, with a few optional lemon verbena leaves, steeped in 12 ounces of near-boiling water for 4 minutes.

Spill the Tea: Are Millennials Killing the Coffee Industry?

Worldwide, tea is the second most consumed beverage, behind water (Macfarlane and Macfarlane 2004). In 2016 there were about 6 million tons of tea produced, with 40% produced in China and 22% in India (FAOSTAT 2017). However, these countries are not the leading consumers per capita. Turkey consumed 6.96 pounds of tea per capita in 2016. Ireland and the UK were in the second and third places, China was 20th, India 28th and the United States 35th, consuming only 0.5 pounds per capita (Quartz 2016).

In 2015, YouGov reported that while the average American drank 46 gallons of coffee in 1946 and only 23 gallons in 2013, tea consumption rose 20% in between 2000-2014. YouGov also reported that younger generations are starting to prefer tea over coffee. While I don’t think that drinking less coffee or preferring tea to coffee means that millennials are shunning coffee, there is clearly a huge demand for tea worldwide, so I wanted to find out what kind of variety stores have available in the US, and D.C. specifically. I have always preferred tea to coffee, and while I am usually disappointed at the variety available in cafes, I have never really paid attention to how many options available in grocery stores.

This class assignment required visiting five D.C. grocery stores and conducting optical research- basically just looking around without asking people questions- focusing on one product in those stores. I chose to look at the tea selection, specifically boxed or tinned dry tea whether it was bagged, loose leaf, or powder. All of these visits took place during the Spring 2019 semester.

For my first field visit, I went to the Whole Foods that is located on the campus of the George Washington University in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of D.C., at 2201 I St NW. Next, I stayed on campus and visited the CVS in the Shops at 2000 Penn, on Pennsylvania Ave NW. Moving north through Foggy Bottom, I went to Trader Joe’s, at 1101 25th St NW. I then went to Harris Teeter in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, at the intersection of 17th St NW and Kalorama Rd NW. Finally, I went to the Georgetown neighborhood and stopped in Dean & DeLuca, at 3276 M St NW.

The common thread through these locations is that they are all located in the Northwest section of the city. So, this should not be seen as an overview of the tea being sold in D.C. as a whole, but the tea being sold in this particular area. Northwest D.C. is an area that is popular with college students and tourists as it is home to many universities, the White House, Embassy Row, and many museums.

I discovered a wide variety of tea available in Northwest D.C. In every store I visited you will find a range of black, green, and herbal tea. Every store had caffeinated and non-caffeinated options. Brands like Lipton, Bigelow, and Twinings are stocked in multiple stores, except Dean & DeLuca. Every store except for CVS had at least one loose-leaf variety. Finally, except for in Dean & DeLuca, there was always at least one box or tin that marked the tea as organic and/or fair trade.

The pricing of the tea was fairly consistent across all five stores ranging from $3-$8 depending on the variety, brand, and quantity of the tea being sold. Of course, Dean & DeLuca is the outlier with prices from $10.50 to $45, because how can you prove you’re bougie if your average-sized box of tea didn’t cost more than a meal.

Across the stores, the target customer seems to vary. Due to their locations, Whole Foods, CVS, and Trader Joe’s are marketed more towards college students and young adults. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s also seem to attract individual young professionals who may live in the area. Harris Teeter is located in more of a residential area, where cars are more popular than they are in other parts of the city. For this reason, Harris Teeter may be more popular for families doing weekly grocery shopping rather than individuals. Dean & DeLuca is in Georgetown, a high end neighborhood, and its clientele is likely more wealthy and more middle-aged or older rather than college students.

The target market of each store is reflected in the store’s layout and ambience. Whole Foods has a public image centered on organic products and the store shows that with natural colors, huge displays of fresh produce, and labels of ‘organic’ and ‘fair trade’ on almost all of the products, including the tea. CVS markets itself as a convenient stop to buy basic groceries or household items. The store has simple carpeting and shelving, and they don’t stock a wide variety of tea. Bright yellow tags help customers locate the items that are on sale and may be cheaper than other options. Trader Joe’s decorates each store tailored to the location. The one I visited had D.C. and GW specific decorations. Most products get a little blurb about what they are and what they can be used for, helping give a direct producer to consumer vibe to the company. Harris Teeter is the closest to what would be considered a supermarket. They have long aisles, full-sized shopping carts, and a wide variety of options for tea, perfect for anybody to find what they want. Dean & DeLuca’s upscale identity is definitely bolstered by the white walls, stone floors, and employees dressed as chefs.

In every store tea is located in the same area as coffee, either across the aisle from or directly next to each other. This makes sense, as both tea and coffee are popular breakfast drinks. I was usually able to find sweeteners right next to the tea or coffee, except for in Harris Teeter, where sugar was separated from the coffee by a selection of cooking oils. I still haven’t figured out the tea/beef jerky combination. Work on your upselling, Harris Teeter. The relative location of this aisle in each store varied. In Whole Foods, CVS, and Harris Teeter the aisle was vaguely in the center of the store. In Trader Joe’s and Dean & DeLuca it was towards the entrance of the store.

A store’s layout directs the customer to what they are looking to buy, while the product labels entice the customer by showing why that product is the best choice. For tea, this usually involves promoting taste, health benefits, and potential socioeconomic benefits. While some boxes of tea in most of the stores promoted being fair trade, the cultivation and production of tea present some serious concerns. Sarah Besky, in her research on tea plantations in India, explains the problem with fair trade labels and what she calls the ‘agrarian imaginary’. Fair trade labels promote the idea that some of the consumer’s money is going towards improving the livelihoods of plantation workers. The money, however, is usually just given to the plantation owners, who can use it as they wish. An agrarian imaginary refers to the idealization of the plantations as farms being worked by individuals who care about the land, rather than a colonial labor system that exploits the workers (Besky 2013). These concepts were especially apparent on the boxes of Tulsi tea in Whole Foods. This packaging featured an idyllic landscape and a picture of a person, who the customer is meant to view as the person who cultivated the tea that they are going to buy.

If you still care deeply about buying organic, fair trade tea, you can find plenty of options at Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom. For convenient, basic tea, go to CVS. If you are a Trader Joe’s loyalist, they have plenty of options. When you want a wide variety of brands and flavors, Harris Teeter has got you covered. None of these stores are significantly more expensive than the others. If you want to feel fancy, but also be broke, go to Dean & DeLuca. Maybe tea will always take second place to coffee in the minds of Americans, but that does not seem to have stopped companies from supplying a wide variety of options for shoppers. It’s probably safe to say that neither hot beverage is going away any time soon.

The word “Tulsi” in Sanskrit literally means “the incomparable one”. The Charaka Samhita – a nodal Ayurvedic script and The Rig-Veda, both mention tulsi as a lifesaving herb, often referred to as ‘elixir of life’. Basil comes packed with a range of health benefits that include oral care, relief from respiratory disorders, treatment of fever, cold, cough, asthma, lung disorders, heart diseases and stress.

Basil, scientifically known as Ocimumbasilicum is a leafy herb belonging to the mint family. It has been widely cultivated for over 5000 years and holds a special place in Ayurvedic medicine. Basil comes in different varieties known as western sweet basil, Thai sweet basil, holy basil, lemon basil, cinnamon basil and purple basil.

What makes tulsi a potent weapon against human ailments is the presence of bioactive constituents like camphene, cineole and eugenol which helps the human body fight against a plethora of serious ailments like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. These compounds have well-established properties against bacterial, fungal and viral infections. It is also quite well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Did You Know? – Basil is regarded as an incomparable herb when it comes to benefits it has for humans – From sacred Indian texts to Bollywood movies, basil finds reverence everywhere – Helps in many ailments from a cough and cold to cancer – All parts are useful – leaves, stems and seeds

Further, basil is rich in vitamins like folates, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K as well as minerals such as sodium, potassium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium and zinc. There are different phytochemicals present in basil, which has the potential to prevent various types of cancer.

Now we know why tulsi has rightly held a sacred high ground since ancient times in Indian Vedic culture. It also works as a repellent to mosquitoes, flies and other harmful insects.

Some of the health benefits of basil are as follows:

Cures Respiratory Disorders

Basil comprises of essential oils like camphene, eugenol and cineole which help in providing relief from congestion. It is most prominent in curing almost all respiratory disorders including both chronic and acute bronchitis including viral, fungal and bacterial infections of the respiratory system.

Prevents Lung Disorders

The compounds like vitamin C and essential oils not only cure lung infections but also heal the damage caused to the lungs due to smoking and tuberculosis. The active ingredients present in tulsi oils can also help treat lung damage as a result of smoking, cancer and tuberculosis.

Improves Heart Health

Basil contains flavonoids which help in preventing coronary heart disease and heart attacks. Eugenol present in basil helps in lowering the level of bad cholesterol.

Protects Against Cancer

The phytochemicals in basil have the potential to prevent various types of cancer. They can reduce tumourigenicity (a tumour causing tendency) and metastasis (transfer of cancerous cells to other parts of the body by way of the blood or lymphatic vessels or membranous surfaces) of human cancer cells. Researchers have found that basil leaves also inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion, and induce apoptosis (death) of cancerous cells.

Fights Inflammation

One of the main ingredients of basil, eucalyptol helps fight inflammation and reduces associated pain by enhancing blood circulation around the wounded area. It also helps to relieve joint pains caused by inflammation. Furthermore, basil has antioxidant properties that help remove plaque from blood vessels.

Relieves Stress

Vitamin C and other antioxidants present in basil soothe the nerves and lower the blood pressure, thereby reducing stress. Basil can also regulate cortisol levels in the body. Lower levels of cortisol results in reduced anxiety and stress. Hence, basil acts as a potent adaptogen (anti-stress agent).

Increases Diuretic Activity

Basil acts as a mild diuretic and detoxifier and helps reduce the uric acid level in the body. Acetic acid and certain essential oils of basil facilitate dissolution of the stones and help to clean out the kidneys through increased frequency of urination. Thus, basil can also cure the cause of kidney stones.

Boosts Immunity

Numerous reports have proved that basil possesses immunomodulatory effects. Basil liquefies the phlegm and is effective for the treatment of allergic bronchitis, asthma and eosinophilic lung disease. As a part of an ancient Ayurvedic tradition, basil is also used for the treatment of fever and associated common cold. Basil leaf extracts can also heal wounds, cuts and burns quickly and can even protect from any potential infection.

How Can You Use Basil?

Want relief from fever and flu or want to shed off those extra calories? Chew a few basil leaves to get relief from the symptoms of cold and flu. Additionally, you can boil some leaves in water and drink it for losing weight. If you are suffering from severe fever, a mixture of basil leaves and a pinch of powdered cardamom can provide you relief.
