Tulsi DIY home remedies to unlock its ANCIENT secrets for hair growth and dandruff free scalp
Get your healthy hair fix with nature’s ultimate holy care.
Tulsi also referred to as the Ocimum tenuiflorum and Holy basil is massively appreciated in the field of Ayurveda for its impeccable ability to tackle eye pain, immunity concerns, cold, insect bites, joint pain, and many more ailments.
