In India-- where it has been used for more than 4,000 years--
the neem tree has such a variety of medical applications that it is
sometimes referred to as the village pharmacy. Now modern research
is proving what has been long known by Ayurvedic medicine
practitioners: neem is one of the most effective plant medicines in
the world. An extremely powerful blood purifying agent and
detoxicant, neem is also effective in the treatment of fever,
malaria, skin diseases, dental problems, diabetes, tumors,
arthritis, and jaundice. It has gained particular attention from
scientists seeking a cure for AIDS, not only for its antiviral
properties, but also because it boosts the immune system on all
levels without destroying beneficial bacteria, unlike synthetic
antibiotics.
In addition to its numerous uses as a healing agent, neem has
been receiving much attention for the ecological benefits it
provides. For centuries Indians have been mixing neem leaves with
stored grains to prevent insect infestation. But neem is not simply
a natural alternative to pesticides; increasingly it is being used
to reverse desertification and to reduce erosion and deforestation,
making it an important weapon in the fight against global warming.
Neem's many practical applications make it of enormous interest to
anyone concerned about health and ecology. Included are recipes and
practical tips that let you enjoy the many benefits of this
miraculous plant.
