About Neem
The neem tree (Azadirachta indica), is a fast-growing evergreen tree from the Meliaceae family or as it is popularly called, the mahogany family. The vibrant tree has its origins in the Indian subcontinent. The scientific name of neem is from a combination of Persian words. The first one is Azad which means ‘free’, dirakht which means ‘tree’ and i-hind which means ‘originates from India’. The common names for the neem tree are margosa and Indian lilac.
The neem tree can grow to a maximum height of about 30 meters. Its crown is large and rounded. The bark is thick and corrugated. The tree has green, compound leaves that don’t fall off except when there is an extended drought. Neem powder is obtained after the fresh leaves of the neem tree are completely dried and finely ground.
The history of the neem tree dates back to 5000 BC. The neem tree has been linked to the earliest Indian civilisations. Ancient Ayurvedic texts have recorded the usage of various parts of the neem tree by ancient Indian civilisations. One of them was “Sarva roga nivarini” which was a Sanskrit term meaning “the universal healer”. They also referred to it as “Nimba” or “Arishtha”, with the former meaning “that which gives a wholesome feeling” and the latter meaning “complete”. Hindu myths state that this is the sole reason it had many uses, curative and non-curative. Women loved it for its wide array of beauty benefits. They made decoctions and pastes from various parts of the tree e.g. the leaves, fruits, and bark, and applied them on their skin to make scratches heal faster and also get rid of rashes. Dried neem leaves were crushed into powder form and mixed with facial oils to prevent the skin from ageing.
