From a holistic perspective, any type of pain is a message directly from our wisest self. Head pain tells a story of a life out of balance. It says a great deal about our society as a whole when almost everyone owns pain pills. Knowing various solutions to our ailments empowers us to step away from the madness and back toward the balance point.
Also called “Holy Basil”, the Latin botanical name is Ocimum sanctum, a name which echoes its holiness. In Hindu legend, the god Krishna once measured his power on a set of scales. Although no amount of gold piled on the scale could outweigh his power, one single leaf of Tulsi tea, placed on the scale with loving devotion, tipped the scale.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these energy channels must remain in balance. If the yin-yang connection, is thrown out of balance by anger or grief, it can set off a chain reaction that stimulates health problems.
