Azadirachta indica (Neem) is a tree that belongs to the mahogany family Meliaceae (Singh et al., 2008). It is one of two species in the genus Azadirachta that originated in Asia and Burma (Singh et al., 2008). It is native to India, although it is also found in other parts of South Asia such as Sri Lanka and Pakistan (Singh et al., 2008).
Since the sixth century BC, Sanskrit texts have recorded the ‘microbicidal and prophylactic’ effects of Neem and for approximately the last 2500 years, Neem extracts have been used as a multipurpose treatment (Dr. Rahman, n.d.). Its use is also mentioned in Persian and Urdu scriptures (Singh et al., 2008).

Neem forms an integral part of the Indian culture (Alexander et al., 1999). Thus it has and is still being extensively used as the principal herb of Ayurvedic and Unani medicine (Alexander et al., 1999). Neem, being a versatile plant, has wide-ranging medicinal properties that are used to address several health concerns such as malarial fevers, diabetes, warts, burns, ulcers, stomach problems, hypertension and cancer (Subapriya and Nagini, 2005). It boosts the immune system, has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic properties as well as moisturizing, contraceptive and anti-aging effects (Subapriya and Nagini, 2005). Additionally, it was used as a fertilizer and natural pesticide to protect stored grains (Alexander et al., 1999). In Africa as well, Neem twigs were used as toothbrushes to maintain healthy teeth because of their antiseptic properties (Alexander et al., 1999).

Traditional healers have treated chicken pox with a paste of Neem leaves that was rubbed on infected patches while a mixture of a teaspoon of dried Neem leaf powder, clarified butter and honey was used for skin allergies (Alexander et al., 1999; Singh et al., 2008). To stop bleeding in piles, Neem powdered seeds with warm water was ingested on an empty stomach (Singh et al., 2008).

I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a constitutional remedy by Dr Itua herbal center who reside in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal medicine. I came to know more about Dr Itua on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.
