NEEM - TRADITIONAL & HISTORICAL USES
Neem has been used in ancient Ayurveda & Unani medicine for over 5,000 years in India where it is revered as "The Wonder Tree" and as "The Village Pharmacy". All parts of the tree are used. The leaves, seeds, bark, fruit, extracts and oils derived from these, have very specific applications in medicine, toiletries and cosmetics, public health, agriculture and pest control.
In Sanskrit writings the Neem Tree is known as "Aristha" - meaning the reliever of all diseases and its use in Hindu medicine dates back to early times.
The tables listed below are given as a guide only using current knowledge about the traditional and historical uses of Neem.

DISCLAIMER:
Neem's use for over 5,000 years by millions of people for a wide range of ailments & complaints demonstrates that it can be used in numerous ways to benefit humans. Some of these uses are summarised in the attached schedule. In the interest of providing further & better information we suggest that pregnant & lactating women & those wishing to become pregnant should avoid using Neem products unless recommended by their health practioner.
We acknowledge that we make no claims to cures which may or may not be directly related to Neem but we submit that the use of Neem and the anecdotal evidence suggests that Neem may assist humans to cure themselves. Remember also, that in great traditional medical systems or folk medicines such as in China or India, the therapeutic value of substances were discovered by trying out herbs and other natural substances and finding out what worked for the patient by experience. That approach is still valid. Natural products are meant to support the body's attempts to maintain good health.
This information is provided for education and information purposes only.
It is not intended to take the place of timely medical attention and/or the doctor/patient relationship. Professional advice should be sought prior to using medicines and botanicals and the same procedure should be used with Neem.
