Neem

Neem (*Azadirachta indica*), native to the Indian subcontinent, has been used for over 4,500 years for its medicinal properties. Known as "the village pharmacy," neem is valued for its versatility, with every part of the tree—leaves, flowers, seeds, fruit, roots, and bark—being utilized. Historically, neem has been used to treat pain, fever, and infections, and its twigs have been used as natural toothbrushes. The tree contains over 140 active compounds, giving it antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and wound-healing properties.

Neem's benefits and uses are extensive. It is commonly used in hair and skincare products to treat dandruff, lice, and various skin conditions. Neem oil is a popular natural pesticide and insect repellent, effective against mosquitoes, fleas, and termites. In Ayurvedic medicine, neem is used to manage diabetes, improve liver health, and promote oral hygiene. Its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also make it beneficial for overall health and wellness. Neem's wide range of applications highlights its importance in traditional and modern medicine.
