Thank u lokhi maa for such a vast knowledge about tulsi plant...maura or pabri also serves same purpose as tulsi in addition to act as a liver tonic ...From last 7 days I gave pabri about 10ml (aftr mixing water)daily to Hardik ...and had seen great improvement results in his diet as early he didn't like to eat anything.I had to rushed after him everytime I gave him anything to eat .....but now I m satisfied..... I don't know about its nutritional facts ...but its showing me great result...in his energy level also.so I m thinking to stop it for 4-5 days and then to give it again .Only Andy can guide us on tulsi and pabri...as far as nutrition facts of tulsi are concerned....iron is in mg....and all others vit and min are there...so I think it can also help us in one way or other...but wait for Andy's response... :rolleyes
