Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been used for over 2,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine and is often referred to as the “Village Pharmacy” in India due to its wide range of traditional applications. Historically, neem leaves were used to support skin health, oral hygiene, blood purification, and immune defense. In ancient texts, neem was described as a cooling and cleansing herb used both internally and externally. Neem spread throughout tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean and remains an essential herb in traditional medicine systems today.
