History of Neem

Trees and plants have been used by humankind from time immemorial to combat diseases. Among many medicinal trees neem was given the prime position because of its ability to treat a wide spectrum of diseases. No wonder neem is mentioned in the vedas as 'sarvaroga nivarani' meaning 'one that cures all illnesses and ailments'. Even sleeping under a neem tree is beneficial and therepeutic. In India, even today you can find villagers brushing their teeth using neem twigs.

All parts of the neem tree have medicinal value. The root, bark, twigs, leaf, flower, seed and fruit are all used in treating vairous ailments.

A paste made of the leaves of neem and 'Bishops weed' is smeared on forehead and nape to cure post nasal drip.

Application of neem oil to cracks and fissures in feet and toes can heal Athletes foot. Neem oil mixed with turmeric paste is more effective.

Tender neem leaves and asafetida are ground to a fine paste and applied on bruises and grazes to heal them rapidly.

Thanks Vaidy19 for stopping by. One can go on and on writing about neem alone. Lots of research is going on the various medicinal aspects of neem. No wonder it is called a 'villagers' dispensary' in India!

From the very beginning of recorded human history, people have used the mysterious Azadirachta indica or neem tree. Today, rural Indians call this tree their "village pharmacy" because of claims it "cures" diseases and disorders ranging from bad teeth and bedbugs to ulcers and malaria. The seeds, bark and leaves contain compounds called limonoids with proven antiseptic, antiviral, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and antifungal uses.

Campaign launched at 18:00 CET on April 28 2011

The EU has just blocked our access to many herbal medicines, and already some household remedies are being taken off the shelves.

A new EU Directive came into force this week that erects high barriers to any herbal remedy that hasn't been on the market for 30 years -- including virtually all Chinese, Ayurvedic, and African traditional medicine. The EU Commission itself has recognised this is an over-regulation that will needlessly restrict consumer choice, but has done nothing to change it.

I had a problem with my scalp, though I could not see anything, my scalp would burn and the roots of my hair were painful, a very uncomfortable situation. I checked with a dermatologist who said I had over-active oil glands and I was given two different shampoos- each to be applied on alternate days. I tried the therapy for a month. Imagine washing my hair everyday!

Unfortunately there was no improvement.

I had read about the qualities of Nee. I purchased neem Oil from my local drug store. Applied it once, and again once after two days. My problem (whatever it was) vanished. Even I am surprised!
