Neem
In India, the tree is
variously known as "Divine Tree", "Heal All", "Nature's
Drugstore", "Village Pharmacy" and "Panacea for all diseases".
Products made from neem have proven
medicinal properties, being anthelmintic, antifungal,
antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-infertility, and
sedative. It is considered a major component in
Ayurvedic medicine and is
particularly prescribed for skin disease[citation
needed].
- Neem twigs are used for brushing teeth
in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This practice is perhaps
one of the earliest and most effective forms of dental care.
- All parts of the tree (seeds, leaves,
flowers and bark) are used for preparing many different
medical preparations.
-
Neem oil is used for
preparing cosmetics (soap, shampoo, balms and creams), and
is useful for skin care such as acne, and keeping skin
elasticity.
- Besides its use in traditional Indian
medicine the neem tree is of great importance for its
anti-desertification properties and possibly as a good
carbon dioxide sink.
- Practictioners of traditional Indian
medicine recommend that patients suffering from Chicken Pox
sleep on neem leaves.
-
Neem Gum is used as a
bulking agent and for the preparation of special purpose
food (those for diabetics).
