What is Neem?

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a type of tree used in alternative medicine to treat or prevent certain health problems.

Some people believed that it can reduce pain, preserve eyesight, boost the immune system, and protect against heart or liver disease.

Neem is available as a capsule, powder, oil, tincture, cream, or mouthwash.

Neem oil can be used on the skin to treat conditions like dandruff and acne, while neem leaf extract can be taken by mouth to treat stomach ulcers and dental problems.

Some remedies are made from the bark, flowers, or fruit of the neem tree.

What Is Neem Used For?

Neem is used in an ancient form of healing, called Ayurveda, to treat asthma, constipation, cough, diabetes, stomach ulcers, indigestion, gum disease, urinary tract infection, and other illnesses.

Although neem has not been studied extensively, several small studies suggest that it may have some potential health benefits.

Dental Health

Several studies suggest that neem can help fight the buildup of plaque on teeth and prevent a type of gum disease called gingivitis.

A 2017 study in the Journal of Contemporary Dental Practices reported that neem mouthwash was as effective as commercial mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine gluconate, a substance commonly used to prevent gum disease. However, the study was small, involving only 40 people for a period of one week.

Dandruff

Neem oil is sometimes used to treat dandruff, although no one knows precisely how it works.

The oil is thought to reduce the inflammation that contributes to redness, itching, and flaking.

Neem may also help fight the fungus that is another possible cause of dandruff.

Acne

Neem oil may also help treat acne and other skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.6

A study published in the Journal of Acute Diseases in 2013 reported that neem oil was able to kill many types of acne-causing bacteria. It did so without the skin irritation or dryness that other acne medications can cause. This suggests that neem oil may be an option for the long-term treatment of mild acne.7

Stomach Ulcers

Neem shows promise in the treatment of peptic ulcers, according to a 2009 study in Phytotherapy Research. 

Peptic ulcers, also known as stomach ulcers, can cause stomach pain and other symptoms due to the production of too much stomach acid.

The study suggests that neem bark extract can partially block the secretion of this acid and help reduce symptoms.

Possible Side Effects

Neem supplements are generally safe for use in adults when taken by mouth for a short period of time.

Doses of up to 60 milligrams (mg) per day have been used safely for up to 10 weeks in clinical trials.

Little is known about the long-term safety of neem supplements.

There is some concern that neem may cause damage to the kidneys and liver, particularly if overused.

Some studies suggest that it may lower the sperm count.
