Neem Health Benefits from India's Tree of Life

Ayurveda is a holistic system of health care that's been practiced in India and Sri Lanka for centuries. Practitioners view patients as a whole person, taking into account both their physical and spiritual well-being, and seek to balance the three bio-energies, or doshas. In the Vedas, neem is called "the one that cures all ills." The most researched therapeutic uses of neem (Azadirachta indica) include its fungicidal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Neem is also an effective anti-inflammatory that can help reduce the pain of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. An herb with countless uses, neem is also used for acne, dental care, heart disease, and diabetes.Jarrard, G.
