Herbal Remedies for Acne----Neem

I was fourteen years old this year and I had already suffered from the acne for one year. In this period, I got more jibes from people. In this case, I used to feel upset at first, finally I hadn’t ignored these jibes. Later, I found that my classmate also had acne on her face as well. For fighting with acne, I did more. Fortunately for me, I heard of that the neem is herbal remedies for acne from one of my relations. As a result, the neem was useful for me. Neem is an herb in its own category. I consider it a super-herb.

In India, neem is known as “the village pharmacy” because of its healing versatility, and it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 4,000 years due to its medicinal properties. The neem tree is a very tall evergreen tree that is related to mahogany and native to India and other parts of Southeast Asia. Neem tree now grown in many locations and its ability to grow quickly has been suggested as a possible solution for heavily deforested areas, because the tree’s ability to thrive in tropical or arid (desert) climates.

Neem has the reputation of having a very repulsive odour which is the sole reason it has not been popular even within the herbal community. Neem oil is extracted from the seeds of the neem tree and has insecticidal and medicinal properties, because which it has been used for thousands of years in pest control, cosmetics, medicines and so on. Neem seed cake when used for soil amendment or added to soil not only enriches the soil with organic matter but also lowers nitrogen losses by inhibiting nitrification. Neem leaves are used to treat chickenpox and warts by directly applying to the skin in a paste form or by bathing in water with neem leaves. Neem extracts have been found to be spermicidal and thus research is being conducted to use neem extracts for making contraceptives. Neem bark and roots also have medicinal properties.

In addition to be good herbal remedies for acne, neem also has anti-bacterial properties that help in fighting against skin infections such as psoriasis, scabies, eczema and so on.
