Neem is a powerful herb known for its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. It protects the skin from harmful UV rays, pollution, and environmental factors. Neem leaves also aid digestion by reducing bloating, flatulence, and constipation, while promoting better nutrient absorption and preventing issues like indigestion, ulcers, and heartburn.

For oral hygiene, neem helps eliminate bad breath and bacteria, preventing gum problems and oral infections. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties boost immunity, protect against infections like colds, and fight microbial threats. Neem also helps treat ulcers, promotes tissue regeneration, and heals wounds.

Furthermore, neem purifies blood, improves circulation, and detoxifies the body. It provides relief from pain and inflammation caused by arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis. Its anti-diabetic properties regulate blood sugar levels, and neem leaves help treat eye infections and improve eyesight. Neem also strengthens hair follicles, promoting hair growth and treating scalp issues like dandruff and hair loss.
