• Tulsi leaves can be boiled in a regular milk tea with other herbs like ginger and cardamom (also known as Masala Tea).
• Brew a simple Tulsi decoction by boiling fresh holy basil leaves in water and letting it simmer.

Last but not least, turmeric is also a common yet best Ayurvedic herb for immunity, which is found in every Indian kitchen. This herb has been used since ancient times in preventing minor health-related problems. It is because it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which support the well-being of immune systems.

Unknowingly, or we can say without extra effort, we daily consume an adequate amount of turmeric in our meals in India. Apart from this, you can also have warm milk infused with turmeric (Golden Milk) post dinner to see positive changes in your body, like improved digestion, lower blood sugar levels, and reduced inflammation.
