Eating neem leaves
by: Birgit

Provided you are healthy, not on any medication and not pregnant (or trying to conceive), then it is considered safe.

(But please read my disclaimer! I am not a doctor and this is NOT medical advice, just my opinion based on current knowledge and research about neem.)

Boiling neem leaves

Hi

I am a diabetic since 4 yrs. I use to eat neem leaves almost everyday about 8 leaves average. I am on medicines. Is it advisable to continue as I read on the internet that it is not effective while taking medicines? I want to ask one question.

Recently I have stopped eating fresh neem leaves and have started drinking 2 glasses of boiled neem water instead; one glass in the night after meals & one glass before breakfast in the morning. Is it okay? I have stopped my medicines for now. Please advice.

Neem leaf for yeast infection
by: Birgit

I tried it when I had a bad bout of oral thrush, and it worked wonders indeed. Cleaned it up in 18 hours. I was very impressed.

I made a cup of strong tea from fresh leaves (10 big leaves on half litre water) and rinsed my mouth with it all day. Held it in the mouth for a few minutes before swallowing, and I did it every 10 minutes or so until the cup was empty.

Next day everything was gone.

Neem; a boon by nature
by: SANJAY

Neem is boon given by God especially for people suffering from skin disorders. It has 400 types of antioxidants and one such will help in balancing sugar levels.

The best thing for a diabetic is walk. When you walk and if can find a neem tree, eat about 20 baby leaves and this will result in drastic control of sugar levels. Neem tastes sweet as you keep eating it and neem stem is more useful in controlling diabetes.

neem leaves are angel leaves
by: uppala ratna rao

When we see neem tree, we feel some freshness and peace. When we swallow the juice, it is hard. But we cannot imagine the benefits that it offers. It's priceless!

So I suggest that everybody gets it and uses it promptly. It is my experience.

How to Eat Neem Leaves

I select the tender part of the neem tip which is usually in purple color and swallow it without chewing. By doing this I'm able to avoid the bitter taste. You can try this twice a week and then make it a daily habit. In TamilNadu, Neem tree is considered very sacred.
