1. Neem, a natural insecticide and plant repellent This plant is commonly used to repel small insects and other pests. Thanks to the various molecules it contains, it has repellent effects. These effects are due to one molecule in particular: azadirachtin. Neem effectively controls over 100 species of insects and worms. The oil extracted from neem has a toxic effect on insects, which it repels. It also prevents their reproduction by acting on their reproductive organs. However, neem oil remains completely harmless to warm-blooded animals and humans. It is also a powerful mosquito repellent, which larvae find difficult to resist. 2. An anti-malarial known for its effectiveness In Africa and some tropical regions of the world, malaria is a common disease. It is usually caught from a mosquito bite carrying the parasite that causes malaria. Malaria, also called malaria, is a scourge that causes fever, diarrhea, vomiting, etc., but nature provides us with natural remedies. Neem is one of them. It is often administered in the form of syrup or herbal teas made from boiled neem leaves. These highly effective infusions act as nivaquine (an antimalarial drug). Thanks to its antiseptic properties, neem helps fight bacteria, viruses and fungi. This helps strengthen the immune system, especially the respiratory system and lungs. The more effective our immune system is, the less difficulty our body has in fighting infections, viruses, and bacteria. Neem can therefore help fight viruses that cause respiratory problems or difficulties (flu, coronavirus, tuberculosis, etc.). This is possible due to its gedunin (or triterpene) content, a molecule that has been found to be effective in treating malaria. Some even consider it to outperform chloroquine in curbing the effects of malaria. This plant is also known to purify the blood. 3. Reduce ulcers with neem powder Did you know? Consuming neem helps reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal system. As a result, neem can help reduce ulcers. When consumed regularly, it can relieve several intestinal problems such as bloating, cramps, and constipation. 4. A natural blood sugar regulator Daily consumption of neem acts as a natural hypoglycemic agent. This means it reduces the amount of sugar present in the blood. This is therefore a positive for diabetics. The chemical components of neem ensure the body receives adequate amounts of insulin. This regulation will help protect against the development of diabetes. 5. A skin cleanser Neem oil and powder are anti-infectious. They can be used to treat skin problems and irritations such as psoriasis and eczema. These products help relieve irritation while treating infections and fighting fungi.
