'Tulsi can cure SARS'

By R. Sampath

VISAKHAPATNAM APRIL 26. Tulsi (oscimum sanctum) can serve as a cure and a prophylactic as well for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is currently stalking the globe as a killer epidemic, according to the Kakinada-based social worker and journalist, S.S. Krishnaji.

In a communication, he says: ``The root of the tulsi plant should be crushed and boiled with turmeric powder for a few minutes, after which it should be filtered. Consuming two spoonfuls of this potion twice daily will cure SARS and prevent contracting of the disease.''

Alternatively, chewing two tulsi leaves with pepper for some time and swallowing it every morning can be helpful in combating the disease, he says.

Mr. Krishnaji has served as the convener of the Bharat Sevak Samaj.
