What are the benefits of neem plant in Ayurveda? - #10879
I’ve often heard about the neem plant being called a “wonder herb” in Ayurveda. What are the benefits of neem plant, and how is it used in traditional remedies? Neem (Azadirachta indica) is celebrated in Ayurveda for its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. One of its primary uses is for skin health, where it helps treat acne, eczema, and rashes. Can neem leaves be used directly as a paste, or is neem oil more effective for topical applications? Neem is also widely used for oral health. Chewing neem twigs is a traditional practice for strengthening gums and preventing cavities. Are neem-based toothpastes or mouth rinses equally effective, or is the twig method superior? For immune support, neem is said to detoxify the body and improve resistance against infections. Should neem juice or capsules be consumed regularly for this purpose, and are there any side effects to consider? Neem is also used for blood purification and managing conditions like diabetes. How effective is neem for regulating blood sugar, and what is the ideal dosage for maintaining healthy glucose levels? If anyone has incorporated neem into their routine, I’d love to know your tips. What benefits have you experienced, and which neem products or preparations worked best for you?
