00:00dear viewers welcome to truth and trends sonia yesterday i went to my cousin's house and his
00:14mom was saying just keep tulsi at home no disease will ever touch you haha very typical tulsi is
00:22called sacred basil for a reason but deepak does it really protect from all diseases that's what
00:29we need to explore today see sonia in every indian house you'll find tulsi worship daily people even
00:36say if you drink tulsi water you'll never get fever or cough isn't that proof it's a miracle plant
00:42respectfully tradition plays a role tulsi has spiritual value in hinduism symbol of purity
00:49but medically yes it has some proven benefits tulsi has compounds like eugenol and antioxidants
00:56that help boost immunity and reduce inflammation but calling it a miracle cure for everything is an
01:03exaggeration but i heard even modern doctors say tulsi tea is good for immunity isn't that scientific

01:47believe that's human psychology we link recovery with whatever ritual or herb we used but science needs
01:55control testing not stories okay but sonia isn't worshiping tulsi at least harmless why debunk something
02:04so sacred worship is fine faith gives peace the problem is when faith replaces medicine if a child has
02:12pneumonia and parents only give tulsi water that's dangerous respect tradition but don't confuse it with guaranteed
