Side-effects of Tulsi Tea:
Several side-effects may appear when drinking tulsi tea :
- Tulsi is an anticoagulant, also called a blood thinner. While this effect can be desirable in some cases, it can be considered an undesirable side-effect in others. Tulsi should be avoided or used with caution by anyone taking other blood-thinning medications, in order to prevent interactions or cumulative effects.
- Chromium contamination - tulsi has a high tolerance for chromium, at levels which would kill most plants; the chromium, which is toxic to humans, can be taken up by the plant, reaching dangerous concentration. Consumption of contaminated tulsi tea can result in poisoning. .
- Unknown safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding - There is conflicting information about the safety of tulsi during pregnancy. While a number of sources claim that it is safe, others recommend more caution. Tulsi's anticoagulant properties need to be considered late in pregnancy.

I hear it has fat melting qualities-can you clarify?
Thx!
that's because it supposedly balances your metabolism - if a person with an unbalanced or abnormal metabolism begins drinking tulsi tea regularly, then they experience an initial weight loss when they first start drinking the tea.
