Neem is the name of an evergreen tree. Neem leaves and oil have been used as healing tonics to treat many different kinds of ailments since ancient times. Neem oil is highly concentrated and penetrates into your skin deeply; it is known for its powerful skin-healing abilities.
Plants
Neem leaves are used to control black spots and fungus that grows on plants. It is also effective in treating athlete's foot and other types of fungi that can harm your body.
Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition that causes your skin to develop lesions and sores and become red due to inflammation. Eczema sufferers also have extreme itchiness and dry skin. Neem oil is used to decrease eczema symptoms because it aids with inflammation reduction through its moisturizing ability.
Pest Control
Neem oil possesses a distinct and strong odor similar to garlic, which repels bugs. It is made out of an ingredient called Azadirachtin, which protects you against insect growth by impairing the larval stage of a bug. Many pest control products contain a high concentration of neem oil due to its effectiveness in pest protection. Neem is also a more natural form of repellent than most mosquito repellants (which possess a high concentration of different chemicals).
Insect Bites and Abrasions
Neem oil is a powerful antiseptic that contains many different nutrients. When you apply it directly to your skin, neem oil can reduce the inflammation, itching and pain that comes from bug bites and other kinds of skin abrasions.
Hair
You can use neem oil to help soothe psoriasis on your scalp, which is responsible for causing a dry, itchy scalp and to treat dandruff problems. The added moisture of neem oil also leaves your hair silky and shiny.
Massage Oil
Neem oil can be used as massage oil. It has antiseptic properties that help your body get rid of toxins naturally when you massage it into your muscles.
Bruises
Oil that is distilled from a neem tree is an effective antidote for treating bruises. When you apply this type of oil to bruises, it aids blood circulation, which helps remove the skin discoloration.
Scabies
Neem oil is a gentle and effective treatment for scabies infections. When you mix turmeric into a paste with neem oil and apply it to your hair and skin, it can rid you of a scabies infestation without having to risk side effects (unlike scabies prescription medications).
