Nimba/ Neem (Azadirachta indica)
Today we have planted our first Neem tree in Lakshmi’s garden.
Synonym for Neem are:
- Pichumarda – that which alleviates the doshas
- Paribhadra – strong tree
- Vara tikta – very tikta/ bitter

Its Ayurvedic properties are:
- Rasa: tikta/bitter, kashaya/astringent
- Guna: laghu/light, ruksha/dry
- virya: sheeta/cooling
- Vipaka: katu/heating
Some of the indications to use Neem
1. Best anti microbial herb and blood purifier, useful in a variety of skin disease, acne, diabetes, diabetic wounds and non healing ulcers
2. Application of the paste of the leaves alleviates the itching and burning sensation of the skin.
3. The decoction of neem leaves is useful for gargles in dental and oral disease
4. Used for dhoopana/ fumigation
5. It is considered auspicious and said to protect from bad spirits (it is called Rakshoghna dravya)
6. A good medicine for amlapitta (acidity, sour belching) as it dries up the excess drava of pitta due to its tikta/bitter rasa and ruksha/dry guna.
