9. Treats swollen throat glands

Tulsi’s anti-inflammatory properties come in useful for treating swollen throat. If your throat glands get swollen, boil a glass of water containing ten tulsi leaves, five peppercorns, and 10gm crushed ginger. Bring it to boil until the liquid has halved. Strain and sip this mixture regularly over a few days until the swelling goes down. Another method for a swollen throat is to combine powdered tulsi seeds with rock salt. Grind them together in equal quantities. Swallow two pinches of this powder in lukewarm water twice a day for 5 to 7 days.
