 When should we not wear Tulsi Mala?

Tulsi mala 

Generally, a Tulsi mala is considered auspicious and can be worn by anyone. 

However, some traditions advise against wearing it while consuming tamasik food (like onion, garlic, and non-vegetarian items), alcohol, or engaging in activities considered impure like bathing, sleeping without prayers, or being in unclean environments. 

Additionally, some individuals may choose not to wear it during menstruation or if they have a Tulsi allergy. 

Tulsi wood or seeds are also used to make tulsi malas, which are strings of beads used to help the mind focus during meditation, chanting and devotional practices and therefore ceremonially connect mind, body and spirit.
