How to Consume Neem Powder

The Neem plant is a tree with native roots in India. Parts of the Neem plant are used in herbal medicine to relieve or cure many skin issues. Ayurvedic medicine, a philosophy of medicine developed in India, believes that the plant also has healing powers in curing heart disease, pneumonia, malaria and other periodontal diseases. Neem powder can be made from the seeds, leaves or bark. For consumption, use powder made from the leaves, as the seed oil is frequently used as insecticide and deemed toxic if ingested. Neem tea is often used to treat skin conditions such as acne, and is considered a blood purifier.
