Medicinal Uses of Neem Flower
Dishes made of neem flower are well known for their taste as well as medicinal use. The neem tree flowers bloom during the months of April and May. During this period you can find a thin layer of neem flower bed formed below most of the neem trees. To collect flowers, paper or cloth is spread below the tree and the branches are shaken. Once collected, it is cleaned in running water and then dried in shade. The dried leaves can last for years without losing their medicinal value. These flowers are a storehouse of anti-oxidants. It is strange to note that neem flowers have certain medicinal properties that are not found in neem leaves.
Now for some dishes. Neem rasam is the easiest and tastiest of them all. Next is the veppam poo sadam or neem flower rice. Both these dishes are tasty as well as full of nutritive value.
Some simple remedies using neem flowers. Neem flower can be stored in honey. Flowers soaked in honey taken every night is found to boost your immunity.
Soak a handful of neem flowers in 100 ml water for at least 4 hours. Filter out the flowers and take the water 2 ounces four times day. This is found to cure stomach ache due to excessive pitha.

Dear Madame X, 'Triphala choornam' is an excellent alternative. 'Hartaki choornam' is best suited for excess vata. The powder can be taken with honey or milk. Thanks very much for visiting.

jshaiju - again a great hub. We have used neem oil for various things. You say it can reduce excess pitha - Do you know what can reduce excess vata? We had a tea that was called, obviously enough, "Vata Tea" but we can't find it anymore. Got any ideas? Thanks.
