Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 NEEM Oil & Uses: In India, NEEM (Azadiracta indica or Margosa) is a very common tree. It is considered to be the "village pharmacy" and has played a key role in Ayurvedic medicine and agriculture since time immemorial. There's no part of the tree that isn't useful. And it has a lot more than just medicinal properties, covering everything from the roots holding the water in the soil to the shade it gives. The seeds contain substantial amount of essential oil (up to 40%) known as NEEM oil. The bitter constituents separated from this oil are nimbin, nimbinin, nimbicidine, azadiractin, salanin, etc. NEEM has so many characteristics that it's not only useful for healing the earth as well as using all these products to help heal us. This is just a partial quick overview of some of the uses of NEEM.
