Neem

Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. The tree matures into a large shade tree, and its flowers have a delicious honey scent. It has been recognized for its powerful health properties for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, it is considered cold, dry, and light, which balances Pitta and Kapha but can aggravate Vata..

It is used for its anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and is effective for skin conditions, especially eczema and psoriasis, as well as for mosquito repellent. It is excellent for intestinal inflammation, hyperacidity, ulcers, colitis, and Crohn’s disease. It clears mucus and parasites from the GI tract, promotes digestive health, and helps with constipation. It is an essential blood and respiratory tonic because it removes infections and accumulations and supports detoxification. It is used to help regulate blood sugar levels in diabetic conditions by managing blood sugar. Its antimicrobial properties make it a favorite ingredient in our swishing oils, helping maintain healthy teeth and gums. It is also used for toothaches, gingivitis, and as a mouthwash.
