NOTICE:
Neem should not be given internally to
children with fevers.
Infectious Diseases
Neem extracts have been found to be antiseptic, (Rojanapo, et al,
1985) anti-fungal (Bhrowmick and Choudharg, 1982) and anti-viral
(Rai and Sethi, 1972); (Sankaram et al, 1987). This combination
of healing properties makes neem an extremely effective remedy for
infections caused by a variety of pathogens. One gram of neem extracts,
particularly the nimbidines, was experimentally equal to 800 units
of penicillin or .5 grams of streptomycin sulphate (Singh and Sastry,
1981).
Food Poisoning and Neem
Salmonella bacteria, the major culprit in food poisoning, has been
shown to be killed by neem extracts (Patel, 1962, 1965). Although
prevention is the best way to avoid food poisoning, once it has
been ingested, neem is a viable option for reducing the length and
severity of the attack. Oral doses of the major culprit in food
poisoning, has been shown to be killed by neem extracts (Patel,
1962, 1965). Although prevention is the best way to avoid food poisoning,
once it has been ingested, neem is a viable option for reducing
the length and severity of the attack. Oral doses of neem leaf teas
will soothe the upset stomach, help the body rid itself of the bacteria
and provide relief from many of the miserable symptoms.
Hepatitis and Neem
A dangerous disease, hepatitis can be transmitted through blood
or by ingesting contaminated food or water. Studies have indicated
that neem extracts can block infection by the virus that causes
it (Unander, 1992). Prevention is recommended by taking neem leaf
capsules or drinking neem leaf tea after eating shellfish and after
swimming in or drinking water potentially contaminated with sewage.
Viral hepatitis is a deadly disease with no effective remedy. Indian
tests indicate that as much as 80% of the test cases showed significant
improvement when treated with neem. (Wagh, 1988)
Herpes (cold sores) and Neem
Tests in Germany show that neem extracts are toxic to
the herpes virus and can quickly heal cold sores (Schmutterer, 1992).
At the first indication of an eruption, a mild neem leaf tea or
neem leaf capsules after breakfast and dinner, combined with topical
application of a neem-based cream to the affected area, is recommended.
Continue both oral and topical applications until the eruption has
peaked. Then continue with only the topical cream applications until
the sore has healed.
Thrush and Neem
Drinking neem leaf tea or taking neem leaf capsules will
promote healing and reduce the pain and inflammation. Children under
12 should only gargle with the tea and not swallow. For the redness
appearing on the skin around the mouth, a neem-based cream should
be applied regularly until the infection has cleared.
Yeast infection and Neem
For infections of the skin, rubbing a neem-based cream on the affected
areas several times per day, especially after washing or getting
the area wet, will relieve the itching, heal the skin and get rid
of the infection. For vaginal yeast infections, a neem-based cream
can be applied with cotton swabs or douche with neem leaf extract.
Drinking three cups of neem tea or taking neem leaf capsules three
times a day for several days will help rid the body of both external
and internal infection.
Mononucleosis and Neem
Possibly related to hepatitis, "mono" should be treated with a mild
neem tea or neem leaf capsules three times a day for two weeks.
The length and severity of the disease should be much improved if
the regimen is followed....
These are just a few of the ailments helped by Neem.
