Neem oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the neem tree and has a strong sulfur-like aroma, with powerful healing properties and a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine.
Neem oil contains the nutrients and antioxidants vitamin E, C, linoleic acid, oleic acid, carotenoids and quercetin, as well as the active compounds nimbidin, nimbin and azadirachtin. These constituents give neem oil its potent anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and insect repelling properties that make it a must-have oil.
It is a hydrating skin oil that can treat wounds, infections, redness, inflammation, acne, pigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines. It can also be used on the hair and scalp to treat dry hair, dandruff, lice and itchy scalp.
Neem oil is an excellent oil to repel insects in your home and to use on pets to treat skin problems and prevent ticks and fleas.
