However, since Henri Becquerel and Madame Curie first described radioactivity at the turn of last century, humans have continued to concentrate natural radiation sources and use them for medical diagnosis and therapy, food preservation, power generation and the production of nuclear weapons.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Concentrated sources of ionizing radiation are relatively new on earth, yet all living systems have had to deal with low levels of radiation. Thus, many plants contain a range of protective phytochemicals and this protection may be conferred to animals that eat them. Perhaps the most potent plants in this regard are the 'adaptogens' such as tulsi (Ocimum sanctum or holy basil), which confer protection against a wide range of environmental stressors.'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Read <a href="http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/plant-based-radiation-protection-tulsi">more... </a></span>
