Adiyen uses our home-grown Tulasi plant leaves only for Tiruvaradhanam and not for medicinal purposes much to the dissatisfaction of my family members. Is this correct or shall I use a small amount of leaves for making medicinal decoction? Should one wipe off the Tiruman while visiting a relative’s house to convey condolences during a death?

Tulasi leaves have to be plucked only during the ordained times and days. It is not wrong to use the leaves used for Aradhanam to make a medicinal decoction. Otherwise, you can use one plant exclusively for Tiruvaradhanam and another plant for medicinal purposes.
There is no need to remove Tiruman while conveying condolences.
