Neem (Azadirachta Indica)
The village pharmacy — antibacterial, antifungal, blood purifying, and skin healing from Ayurveda's most versatile tree.
Neem (Azadirachta indica) is known in Sanskrit as ‘Sarva Roga Nivarini’ — the one that heals all ailments — and has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional African medicine for over 4,000 years. Every part of the neem tree is medicinal, but its leaves are particularly rich in nimbin, nimbidin, and quercetin, giving them powerful antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and blood-purifying properties that make neem one of the most comprehensive herbal medicines for skin conditions, infections, and immune support.
