Wamirithu
Herbal Clinic
In rural Kenya there are few hospitals and a limited access to
Western medicines. There are, however, fine doctors and medical
practitioners who want to help people and who use whatever they
have available that can help heal.
Kenya
and the rest of Africa has a long tradition of using the many
medicinal plants of the region. In addition, in the last century
neem trees were introduced by Indian immigrants to the area. At
the Wamirithu Herbal Clinic in Kenya a draft copy of "Neem
- The Ultimate Herb" was sent by The Neem Association to
the Director, Samwel W. Kihia. The hope was that it would give
insight to the potential healing powers of neem as shown by the
many scientific research papers cited in the book. After one year
of using neem for some of the ailments the Wamirithu Herbal Clinic
reported the following:
Ulcers:
Resolution of 80% of the cases. Drink one glass three times a
day of neem leaf extract made by boiling 5g of neem leaves, 15g
of brown olives (for taste) in 3 liters of water for 20 minutes.

within one week. Drink one glass three times a day of neem leaf
extract made by boiling 5g of neem leaves in 2 litres of water
