The Neem tree (scientific name: Melia azedarach L.) is a deciduous tree of the Neem family, growing up to 10 m tall. Its bark is grey-brown and widely branched. Its leaves are 2-3 times odd-pinnate, with leaflets that are opposite, blade ovate, elliptic to lanceolate, with the terminal leaflet being slightly larger.
The panicle is about as long as the leaves, and the flowers are fragrant. The lobes are ovate or oblong-ovate, with an acute apex, and the petals are lavender and obovate-spatulate.
Both surfaces are pubescent, anthers inserted on the inner side of the lobes and alternate, ovary subglobose, glabrous, ovules per locule, style slender, stigma capitate, drupe spherical to ellipsoid, endocarp woody, seeds ellipsoid. Flowering in April-May, fruiting in October-December.
It is distributed in all provinces south of the Yellow River in China and has been widely cultivated at low altitudes in open fields, roadsides, or sparse forests.
Its flowers, leaves, fruits, and root bark can be used as medicine. The root bark can be used to drive away roundworms and hookworms, but it is toxic and should be used in strict accordance with medical advice. In addition, the kernel oil can be used to make lubricants and soap.
The plant grows rapidly on moist fertile soils and is not strict on soil requirements, and can grow in acidic, neutral, and limestone areas.
The Neem tree is a very peculiar tree and the Neem leaf is the most complex leaf on earth. With more than 130 different bioactive compounds, neem leaves are among the most complex leaves one can find on earth.
Neem has many incredible medicinal benefits, but the most important effect is that it can kill cancer cells. Everyone has cancer cells in their body, but normally, they are disorganized. However, if you create certain conditions in the body, they will become organized. If these cancer cells just roam individually, this is not a problem.
But if they gather in one place, the problem comes. It's like changing from petty theft to organized crime, and that's a serious problem. If you consume neem every day, it will keep the number of cancer cells in your body within a certain range so that they don't combine to attack your system.
The world is full of bacteria, and so is the human body. There are more microorganisms present in your body than you can imagine. Most of the bacteria are beneficial and without them, people could not digest their food. In fact, without bacteria, people could not survive. But there are some bacteria that can cause you problems. Your body is constantly using energy to manage these bacteria.
If too many bacteria appear, you will feel low because your defense mechanisms have to use too much energy to deal with them. By taking neem internally as well as externally, you will be able to keep these bacteria from growing too much and your body will not have to use too much energy to fight them.
If you take a certain amount of neem every day, it will remove troublesome bacteria from your intestinal tract so that your colon can stay clean and free from infection.
