Description
Neem has been used extensively in India for thousands of years on humans and animals. Whenever Neem Oil is applied topically, it is helpful for a variety of dermatological problems besides being an excellent moisturizing oil.
The neem seed kernel is very rich in fatty acids, it is very bitter and contains Vitamin E and other essential amino acids. Neem Oil also acts as a non-specific immunostimulant that activates the cell meditated immune response.
Why Neem Seed Oil is so beneficial?
Neem Seed Oil is effective in treating a wide variety of skin disorders:
Acne: Neem kills the bacteria that cause acne and reduces the inflammation that is so noticeable. Drink Neem Leaf Tea. Apply Neem Seed Oil as night care and a neem-based lotion as day cream.
Dandruff: Apply Neem Seed Oil to the scalp shortly before bathing. Use Neem Shampoo and drink Neem Leaf Tea to counteract diets rich in fats and sweets.
Dental Care: In lndia people use Neem twigs instead of a tooth brush. We put one or two drops of the oil on our dental floss. Use it at bedtime and feel the difference the next morning. Check out our recipe for homemade toothpaste using Neem Seed Oil.
Eczema: The broad range of beneficial effects of Neem and it’s concentration of active compounds in the oil makes it one of the better treatments for dermatitis. Neem Leaf Tea or Neem Leaf Extract. Neem Soap (can be made with liquid unscented soap) and Neem Shampoo and topical use of oil is suggested.
Fungi: Neem is toxic to several fungi which attack humans; including those that cause athlete’s foot and ringworm, candida, an organism that causes yeast infections and thrush.
Hives: Neem has antihistamine compounds and other compounds that affect the central nervous system treat hives in both situations. Drinking Neem Leaf Tea twice a day in combination with Neem Oil’s topical use is recommended.
Itchy scalp can be caused by any number of things from allergies to dandruff or mites. Use Neem Shampoo (can be made using unscented shampoo and adding Neem Seed Oil) and apply Neem Oil before washing to relieve the symptoms.
Insecticide: Neem protects plants from over 200 of the most damaging pests. It is non-toxic to food crops and beneficial insects. Dilute 2 tablespoons of Neem Seed Oil in one gallon of water. Add a few drops of soap. Shake before and during spraying. Test on one plant first before spraying a lot of plants. Should be sprayed in evening as sun can cause burn during hot part of day.
Insect repellent: Neem Seed Oil repels mosquitos. It can also be sprayed indoors to repel roaches and ants. (This is a safe way to repel such insects in kitchen areas and all areas connected with food.)
Lice: Lice are usually treated with pure Neem Seed Oil at first (leave on for some hours at first) and Neem Shampoo afterwards.
Parasites: “Historically, Neem has been used to rid the body of all forms of parasites. Scientists have since proved that Neem quickly kills external parasites and may kill internal parasites as well.” (internal: Neem Leaf Extract, Neem Leaf Tea)
Pet-Care: Neem Seed Oil repels fleas, ear mites, ticks and other external parasites very efficiently. Fleas and bites commonly lead to itching and sores. This Oil with its natural antibiotic and anti-inflammatory/analgesic qualities are therefore very helpful in everyday Pet Care. Test for allergic reaction first!! Then rub Neem Seed Oil generously on all affected areas. Cats and dogs usually don’t like the strong smell of the oil but one or two applications are often enough.
Psoriasis: Neem Seed Oil and Neem Leaf Extract have been successfully treating the symptoms of psoriasis. It relieves the itching and pain while reducing the scale and redness of the patchy lesions.
Scabies: Itch mites are affected the same way as lice are by Neem. Apply Neem Leaf Extract mixed in a carrier lotion on skin and bath in water with Neem Leaf Extract. Use Neem soap, Neem Shampoo, wash thoroughly and apply Neem Seed Oil.
Skin Ulcers: Should be washed with Neem Soap (can be made using liquid unscented soap and adding Neem Oil) and covered with Neem Seed Oil. Additionally take Neem Leaf Extract in severe cases.
Vaginal Yeast Infection: Dip tampon in Neem Seed Oil, insert, leave overnight. Reapply each night for about a week. (Don’t use if you are pregnant or want to have a baby.) We would suggest same procedure if you had unsafe sex.
Warts: “Neem absorbs viruses and prevents them from infecting cells. Since warts are caused by viruses, neem is effective in treating them.” Soak the gauze portion of a bandage with Neem Seed Oil and place it over the wart. Reapply daily and check after one week.
Important Product Information Contraindications
External use only! Test for allergic reactions before using on woman/man, pet or plant!
Neem Oil taken orally and vaginally after intercourse has been found to possess anti-implantation and abortifacient effects. Since the oil is extremely bitter it is doubtful if anyone would chose to ingest it, but pregnant women or those trying to conceive should never ingest Neem Oil and should also avoid using it intra-vaginally. Within those limitations, Neem is generally considered to be one of the safest medicinal herbs available.

Kathy Stultz –
I found out about your oils from the lady that does my nails. She told me one of her clients had psoriasis and that your oils cleared it up. I went home and ordered your oils and received them shortly after that. About a week after I started using them my psoriasis cleared up as well. The Neem Seed Oil works best for me. It did not cure my psoriasis but it cleared it up better than anything has in 20 years. I love it and I tell everyone I know that has skin problems about your oils and your website.
– Thanks so much

Aloha, I am in love with a lot of your extremely high quality oils! I’ve used your
Kukui, Kamani, and Neem Seed Oils, and they always exceed my expectations! I’m
interested in sending some to an herbalist friend on the mainland to infuse with
fresh St. John’s Wort blossoms to make an incredibly healing oil.
Thank you for your wonderful business and wonderful oils.
Aloha, Lauren

“I received a bottle of Neem seed oil from Alohatherapy recently because I heard that it could help my dog with her skin fungal issues and it works great! I applied it several times in one week and then about once a week as needed and my little girl dog is doing great! Thank you!” Venus Gallo
