NEEM - An Active Ingredient of Ayurveda
Author: Leonard Henry
Due to its antibacterial properties, neem is
highly helpful to cure acne and eczema.
The word 'NEEM' has
been derived from the Sanskrit word 'Nimba', which means
'bestowed of good health'. Neem is a fast growing, long-lived
tree with broad leaves and it has an unpleasant smell. Almost
every part of the neem tree is used, either for making
medicine to treat fever, malaria, fungal infection etc or
for making skin free from rashes, pimples, acne etc. Like, the
barks of the tree are used to treat fever; the leaves are good
for eye infection and skin ulcer; flower is used to eliminate
intestinal worms; fruit is helpful for urinary disorder and
diabetes; during cough and asthma, twig (stem) is used to cure;
gum is used to heal skin disease; seeds and oil (extracted from
seeds/berries) are good for leprosy and intestinal worms. Neem
leaves (although bitter in taste) are quite helpful in balancing
the blood sugar. Traditionally, leaves of neem are crushed as
pastes to apply directly on the wounds, ulcers and skin
diseases. So, from the early days, neem was an active ingredient
of Ayurvedic medicine.
Let's discuss the effectiveness of neem more vividly. Neem is a
blessing to those people who are having diabetics, as it reduce
insulin requirements by up to fifty percent, without altering
glucose levels in blood. It even works well for those having
high cholesterol levels. Neem works very effectively as insects
repellent and it is not even toxic for human and pets. Neem
works good on the treatment of mouth infections, like tooth
decay, sore gums and even bleeding. If bark, root, fruit, flower
and leaves of the neem are blended, then it can be used to cure
blood diseases, wounds, skin diseases and even itching.
There are number of ways to make use of neem as beauty aid to reduce
skin problems. Due to its antibacterial properties, neem is
highly helpful to cure acne and eczema. It is also helpful to
kill bacteria that causes spots and pimples and reduces the
redness and inflammation. To reduce acne scars, neem oil is very
helpful, as it contains moisturizing properties. It also works
well on irritated, itchy and sensitive skin. Neem leaves cure
skin burn. A paste of neem leaf, almond, turmeric and saffron
oil is good for clean, youthful and healthier skin. The
pure neem oil is very powerful and it is never recommended to
use the oil internally. To enhance the effect on skin, neem oil
should be diluted either with other oils or creams or lotion.
But in some cases, it can be used directly; like in case of
severe hot spots, fungal infection or eczema. If neem oil is
mixed with sweet almond or grape seed oil, it becomes very
effective for skin treatment. Neem is quite helpful to promote
flawless and healthy skin. Neem works wonder to protect from
premature ageing and makes it free from blemish, if the leaves
are blended with tea tree oil, kokum butter, aloe vera and
bergamot oil. If neem oil is blended with tea tree oil, grape
seed oil and eucalyptus oil, it protects, rejuvenates and
promotes the healthy skin. This mixture is quite helpful in
regaining natural glow and texture.
So, it can be said that neem holds a huge complement about
curing almost every kind of problem, whether internal or
external, without any side effect. One of the amazing neem facts
is that the tree is known to cure more than one hundred
diseases. Now-a-days, many pharmaceutical companies as well as
beauty product companies use neem as one of the key
ingredients in their products.
