Neem leaves: They are brimming with benefits!

Strengthening your immunity can be as simple as chewing some neem leaves and there’s no better time to get started! Neem leaves contain antimicrobial, antiviral and antioxidant properties that are great for your body’s disease defence mechanism. Some experts believe that these leaves can help cleanse your colon, further facilitating smoother digestion in the body. 

According to some past studies, neem has pain-relieving and fever-reducing compounds. The twigs of the neem tree could help relieve cough, asthma, intestinal worms, and even aid diabetes treatment. However, diabetic patients should consult their doctor before consuming neem leaves or twigs. 

The anti-septic properties of neem are widely recognised and many people use it for skin rashes and infected burns. It can be used in various forms, either applied raw on the skin or in the form on a neem cream. 

It is important to spell a note of caution concerning the use of neem for pregnant women. Since there is little research, please consult an expert before consuming any products of the neem plant.
