Organic India, BIO Tulsi Tea, Sleep, Caffeine Free, 25 Infusion Bags

Originating in India, the 5,000 year-old Ayurvedic medical system is one of the world’s oldest health modalities. “Ayurveda” comes from two Sanskrit words — “ayuh” meaning “life” and “veda” meaning “science” or “wisdom.” Ayurveda is the sister science to Yoga and is based upon the same ancient Vedic texts. The system teaches us to live in balance with nature by following natural rhythms.

Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs: They help balance, restore and protect the body from physical, environmental, and psychological stress. An adaptogen doesn’t have a specific action; they are multidirectional herbs that supports stress responses to normalize physiological functions, leading to stress resilience.

There aren’t equivalent doses between Tulsi tea and Tulsi capsules. Tulsi tea is an infusion — hot water allows for fast delivery to the bloodstream, while Tulsi capsules are processed by the digestive system until the phytochemical compounds are absorbed. We suggest Tulsi tea for quick absorption, and Tulsi capsules for those who don’t enjoy tea or who prefer the convenience of capsules.

Pullulan is a natural biopolymer obtained from the mushroom species A. pullulans. Pullulan is created by extracting water from the mushroom that is grown organically on a tapioca starch substrate. Organic India’s pullulan is vegan, free of major allergens (soy, wheat, corn, dairy, and nuts), non-gmo, and certified USDA organic. Pullulan creates an oxygen barrier to ensure the shelf life of Organic India supplements. Pullulan capsules also protect encapsulated herbs from oxidation.

The tea bag paper is made of unbleached, organic manila hemp (also known as abaca). The string is made from unbleached cotton fiber. This style was chosen because the stringless tea bags that are currently on the market employ filter paper that is coated with a polyamide plastic.

Organic India does not utilize plastic of any kind in our tea bags. Tea bags are made from organic manila hemp (also known as abaca) and the string is made from unbleached cotton fiber. Organic India chose this style because most stringless bags on the market employ filter paper that is coated with a polyamide plastic. This type of plastic coating melts under high temperatures, and as a result, some amount of plastic is leached into the tea as it brews.

While it is unlikely that there would be any safety issue, Organic India do not recommend using its products past the expiration date on the packaging, as the effectiveness of herbs can no longer be guaranteed.
