Quantum Plant Tulsi

 TULSI BEADS

Here is an explanation in greater detail about natural negative ion generator (water fall) and ozone generator (mini tulsi grotto). When positive ions permeate into your skin, your sweat pores contract. Negative ions cause the pores to expand and increase metabolism.[www.ajitvadaykil.blogspot.com]

85% negative ions are absorbed by the skin and the balance via the lungs. Negative ions in the blood stream activates delivery of oxygen to cells and tissues. Negative charged environment stimulates the body’s self-healing mechanism. Overproduction of Serotonin in the brain , causing blood vessels leading to the brain to dilate , stretching pain receptors -- causes migraines. Any form of combustion increases positive ions. Inhaling negative ions regulates the production of Serotonin in your brain. It controls depression and is a better way that the use of medicines likes Prozac which have side effects. Serotonin causes mental fatigue. Negative ion is an oxygen atom with an extra electron. Negative ions cannot pass through walls. Ionizers use electrostatically charges plates to produce negative ions, on which positively charges dust and bacteria gets stuck. Negative ions promote alpha waves in your brain.  Do NOT use vapourisers or moisturisers with negative ion generators-as that will create positive ions.

Enough of science—now must get back to quantum plant Tulsi.  The chemistry of Tulsi is highly complex as it contains hundreds of beneficial compounds known as phyto-chemicals. Tulsi gives off Ozone at night with a suitable lamp providing light for photosynthesis. All other plants on this planet give off carbon di oxide at night. Tulsi is a sacred plant , known as the Mother of Ayurveda. The remarkable thing about Tulsi is that, unlike other medicinal plants, she is effective even if she is not consumed. Just her close proximity is enough. Tulsi plant was the result of Samudra Manthan or churning of the oceans. Most of the traditional Hindu homes , away from concrete jungle cities, have Tulsi plant, right in front of the door. In cities they keep it  indoors in a little pot. No self respecting Hindu household is considered complete without the Tulsi plant, this is because the presence of a Tulsi plant in a home signifies the presence of Goddess Lakshmi herself . Tulsi is one of the eight indispensable things in Vedic worship.

Yanmadhye sarva vedaascha Tulasi taam namaamyaham.

I bow down to the Tulasi, at whose base (the roots) are all the holy places, at whose top reside all the deities (divinity), and in whose middle are all the Vedas.
