Neem (Azadirachta indica) is an evergreen tree with a well-earned reputation for being the most potent medicinal flora in the world. The neem tree is known in Ayurveda as nature’s pharmacy.
Neem leaf is used for leprosy, eye disorders, bloody nose, intestinal worms, stomach upset, loss of appetite, skin ulcers, diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease), fever, diabetes, gum disease (gingivitis), and liver problems. The leaf is also used for birth control and to cause abortions.
Blood purification
Along with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, Neem also has blood purifying properties. It detoxifies the blood removing the harmful toxins that disrupts functioning of vital parts like liver and kidney. Too much toxins in blood leads to under-performance of various organs and develops symptoms of allergies, fatigue, headaches, etc. So pop one or two Neem capsule a day and detoxify your blood from various impurities!
Dental plaque
Early research suggests that applying neem leaf extract gel to the teeth and gums twice daily for 6 weeks might reduce plaque formation. It also might reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth that can cause plaque. However, using a mouth rinse containing neem extract for 2 weeks does not appear to reduce plaque or gingivitis.
Boosts Immunity
Thanks to the wealth of antioxidants and bioactive components, Neem confers several folk remedies for improving the immune system, fighting microbes and shielding the body against various infections. It also portrays the presence of strong anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antifungal properties, which is extremely effective in preventing infections like fever, common cold, sore throat, and other respiratory anomalies.
Skin and hair
Neem is known to be excellent for skin and hair. Neem prevents and cures acne and it also treats dry skin. It is an excellent remedy for skin problems like blackheads, large pores and whiteheads. Neem is also good for your hair as its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties can help treat dandruff. It also helps fight hair fall and promotes hair growth.
Insect repellant.
