My Story


A portrait of Vinodha, the founder of House of Tulsi

Hello divine soul! Namaste. It is no coincidence that you have stumbled across this site.

I’m Vinodha, the founder of House of Tulsi. The sprig of an idea emerged during meditation one day that the traditional home remedies for healing that were taught by the elders should be shared with the world lest it be forgotten. I’m a messenger and child of the light. I am delighted to share with you all these healing secrets and hope it works in you and through you.

I grew up in South Africa on a mango orchard and spent many childhood days climbing trees and needling out thorns from under my feet. I was told that tulsi (amongst other adaptogenics) were famous for healing colds and flus. Turmeric and ginger helped with sore throats and coughs. Syringa berry leaves helped with itchy skin (particularly useful when us kids had chicken pox). Apple cider vinegar is good to soothe bee stings.

And meditation is good for the soul. I’ve been practicing Heartfulness meditation for the past 10 years and teaching for the past 5 years.

Take time for yourself. Live blessed and well.

Heartfully yours,

Vinodha
