Tulsi has environmental benefits too

Nagpur: Ayurvedic medicinal values ​​of Tulsi is a well-known. Our ancient scriptures have enumerated the medicinal benefits of Tulsi. Its extracts are used extensively for curing common diseases such as common cold, headache, stomach disorder, etc.

But the environmental benefits were relatively unknown. Around two decades back Dada Dham, a socio-spiritual organization gathered a team of botanists, ayurvedic scholars and environmental enthusiasts to study the environmental benefits of Tulsi.

"Tulsi gives out oxygen for 20 hours and ozone for four hours a day along with the formation of nascent oxygen that absorbs harmful gases such as CO, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide from the atmosphere," said Shyamkant Padoley, an eminent botanist.

Padoley, a member of technical committee, ministry of environment and forest, NewDelhi and forest tech committee, also read an article in the International Conference on Occupational Respiratory Diseases in Kyoto in 1997 where cyclo oxygenate, an enzyme only found in Tulsi has been marked for the first time. This enzyme regulates the whole mechanism of oxygen evolution.

Dada Dham initiated a campaign 'Tulsi Lagao Pradushan Hatao' in 1987 under the leadership of Narendra Dada, the institution head. It was under this campaign that the above-mentioned panel of experts was formed. After finding out the environmental benefits of the plant, Dada Dham organized several programs such as street plays, nukkad sabhas and lectures to spread the use of the plant.

Dr. Dattatraya Saraf, one ayurvedic doctor and an expert said, "The plant enriches the atmosphere with oxygen almost 24X7, and also absorb other pollutants." He further added that if the size of the plant can be increased, the environmental benefits can be increased.

"That's why we urge scientists and concerned authorities to do research on the subject of increasing the height of the Tulsi plant. If large trees can be converted to Bonsai plants then a large Tulsi trees can be possible!" Said Kishor Verma, PRO of Dada Dham.

He also citied the research and work of other organization in support of Tulsi the environmental benefits.

"The forest department of Uttar Pradesh, with the help of an organization called Organic India Limited, Lucknow planted lakhs of Tulsi saplings around Taj Mahal to protect its surface from industrial emissions. This step was yielded positive results," Verma said.

"We only ask the administration to take notice of these extra ordinary benefits of Tulsi and try to exercise them. Even simple steps such as planting Tulsi plants on the road dividers, parks, etc. can bring a difference," said Verma.
