Description
The Neem tree (Azadirachta indica A. Jus) has its origins in North East India. It is a member of the meliaceae family, resembles an English Oak in appearance and has leaves similar to those of a White Cedar. It can grow up to about 30m in height and is now grown in over 40 countries.
Indian Ayurvedic texts have described the Neem tree and it's remarkable healing properties as far back as 5000BC. All parts of the Neem tree - leaves, fruit, seed, bark, roots and the oils derived from these, have very specific applications in medicine, toiletries & cosmetics, public health, livestock production & health, agriculture and pest control. In Sanskrit, the Neem tree is known as 'Aristha' - meaning reliever of all diseases. Indians often refer to the tree as the village pharmacy.
Fruit from the Neem tree contains kernels which are rich in oil (up to 40%). Scientific research has confirmed that Neem seed oil and oil extracts are non-toxic to mammals and are very effective organic antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, dermatological and dental agents. Much of the current research internationally is focused on the use of Neem seed oil as an organic alternative to toxic/synthetic chemical pesticides and insecticides. Knowledge accumulated to date suggests that Neem seed oil will effectively get rid of over 400 pests and diseases from plants and animals. The Neem seed oil does not kill on contact, rather it inhibits feeding and reproduction.
