Neem The Neem tree is indigenous to India. Indians have revered the neem tree for a very long time. To millions of Indians neem has miraculous powers. For centuries people of India have used neem twigs for cleaning their teeth, treated skin infection with neem leaf juice, used it as a tonic and kept away bugs with different neem extracts. It also formed part of several rituals. The tree has been used in curing so many ailments that it has been called “the village pharmacy”.

Herpes and neem

The highly contagious herpes simplex viruses cause a number of different disorders characterized by small, painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes, most commonly on or around the lips or genital area. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is transmitted by contact with a blister.

Neem is the best available natral antisepctic. Take several bunches of neem leaves and boil them in water till the water turns a greenish hue. Add this liquid to the bathing water.

Neem extracts are toxic to the herpes virus. Neem has anti-viral compounds that may prevent transmission and infection if a neem-based lotion is used as a lubricant for intercourse. If already contracted, neem oil has reduced the severity of genital herpes attacks when applied to the afflicted area.

Genital herpes sufferers who have used neem on the sores report a tremendous reduction in the number and severity of eruptions. Drinking two cups of neem leaf tea or taking neem capsules will enhance the immune system in its response to the virus.

Warts and Neem

Neem absorbs viruses and prevents them from infecting cells. Since warts are caused by viruses, neem is effective in treating them. To treat the wart, cover it with whole neem leaves or soak the gauze portion of a small bandage with neem oil and place it over the wart. Change the bandage and reapply daily. After a week, check the area to determine the progress of the treatment.

Treatment

Application of neem oil, neem-based cream, or Blitz stick to the affected area is recommended along with Neem capsules or tea. Bathe and shampoo with Neem based products and apply Neem lotion/cream. Neem capsules will help combat the problem at source.
