Team with Neem for health

Neem, the bitter health.

Some people like my uncle can have a tiny ball of fresh Neem for great health. Neem is known for its curing powers since time immemorial. Neem is perhaps the only tropical evergreen that withstood the scientific researches and proved its mettle as a panacea. Neem is one of the main ingredients in Eastern medicine. Various parts of the plant (fruits, seeds, oil, leaves, roots and bark) are used to treat various illness in ancient medicines like Ayurveda and Unani. Hence its name the “village pharmacy”, the provider of good health in the rural. Diseases and disorders which succumb to neem include worms, diabetes, piles, dysentery, jaundice, vomiting, wounds, eye disease, blood disorders, paraplegia, female genital diseases and all kinds of fevers.

Skin, Hair and Nails

Neem takes up different roles in various medical formulas due to its antiviral, anti-allergic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties. Hair problems like dandruff, scaling and hair loss can be checked by using neem extracts. Neem oil can get rid of head lice if applied regularly on the scalp. The extracts of Neem can heal skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, leprosy, herpes, (yes!) warts, athlete’s foot, acne and chicken pox. It can also take care of ringworm, scabies and skin rashes. Pale, yellow or brittle nail can get back its natural color and condition with the use of neem. Thus neem and neem oil became a primary ingredient in many herbal bath and beauty products.

Ulcers can be treated with Neem as it can reduce the secretion of acids in th stomach. Neem can prevent viral and bacterial infections without destroying the beneficial intestinal flora. It can further prevent inflammation with its antihistamine and antibacterial compounds. No serious side effects have been reported.

Regularly use of neem toothpaste and mouth rise (with real extracts) can prevent and cure infection, tooth decay, tender and bleeding gums and so on. You can also chew neem leaves for the same purpose. Beware of the bitterness, though!
