Ayushalya Organic Sabja Seeds: Nature’s Coolant and Digestive Powerhouse

Ayushalya Organic Sabja Seeds, also known as Sweet Basil Seeds or Tukmaria, are tiny black seeds derived from the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum). These certified organic seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition and a cherished ingredient in traditional remedies, particularly known for their natural cooling effect on the body. When soaked in water, they swell rapidly and form a gelatinous coating, making them a versatile addition to beverages, desserts, and various dishes. Ayushalya ensures these seeds are cultivated organically, free from pesticides and chemicals, providing you with a pure, wholesome superfood that supports digestion, aids in weight management, and offers a wealth of antioxidants and essential nutrients for holistic well-being.

• Detailed Ingredient List (with botanical names):

  • 100% Organic Sabja Seeds (Ocimum basilicum)

• Benefits:

  • Natural Body Coolant: Traditionally used to reduce body heat, making it ideal for refreshing summer drinks and alleviating conditions caused by excess Pitta (heat).
  • Digestive Aid: High soluble fibre content promotes smooth digestion, prevents constipation, and can soothe the digestive tract, offering relief from acidity and heartburn.
  • Weight Management Support: The fibre expands in the stomach, promoting satiety and reducing hunger pangs, thereby helping to control appetite and calorie intake. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content may also boost metabolism.
  • Blood Sugar Control: May help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption, beneficial for individuals managing diabetes.
  • Rich in Nutrients: A good source of essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, crucial for bone health, muscle function, and haemoglobin levels. Also contains protein, carbohydrates, and Vitamin E.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Contains Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), an important Omega-3 fatty acid, which supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and may benefit cognitive function.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Rich in flavonoids and polyphenols, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that protect cells from damage.
  • Detoxification: Aids in flushing out toxins from the kidneys due to its diuretic properties.
  • Skin and Hair Health: Antioxidants and Vitamin E contribute to healthy skin (reducing signs of ageing, soothing conditions like eczema/psoriasis) and promote hair growth, reducing hair fall.

• Dosage and Usage Instructions:

  • Soaking is essential: Always soak Sabja seeds in water before consumption. Add 1-2 teaspoons of Sabja seeds to about 1 cup (200- 250ml) of water.
  • Allow them to soak for 15-20 minutes until they swell and develop a gel-like coating. They will expand significantly (up to 30 times their original size).
  • Consumption:
    • Add to cold beverages like lemonade, sherbets, smoothies, milkshakes, coconut water, or plain water for a refreshing and hydrating drink.
    • Mix into desserts like falooda, puddings, yoghurt, or kheer.
    • Sprinkle over salads or oatmeal.
    • It can be used as a natural thickener in soups or gravies.
  • Recommended daily intake is typically 1-2 teaspoons, but consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice, especially if you have a medical condition.

• Ayurvedic Properties (Dosha Balancing):

  • Cooling (Sheetal Virya): Primarily known for its cooling potency, making it highly effective in pacifying aggravated Pitta Dosha and reducing excess body heat.
  • Madhura Rasa (Sweet Taste): Provides nourishment and strength.
  • Snigdha Guna (Unctuous Quality): Contributes to its soothing effect on the digestive tract.
  • Balancing for all Doshas: While particularly good for Pitta, its fibre content and ability to support digestion make it beneficial for balancing Vata and Kapha when consumed appropriately.
