Our feet take a toll every day… As one of our sweatiest areas, it’s easy for bacteria to build up and cause issues like odour or athlete’s foot. http://www.imedpub.com/abstract/chemical-characteristics-of-toilet-soap-prepared-from-neemrnazadirachta-indica-a-juss-seed-oil-12607.html In another study, 6 people with intestinal ulcers took 30 mg of neem extract orally twice daily. After 10 days, acid secretion had declined significantly, and after 10 weeks, the ulcers were almost completely healed ( 24). Oxidative stress occurs when a high number of free radicals (unstable atoms that can damage cells) are present in the body. Factors like pollution and UV rays can all contribute to free radical presence. Mishra A, Dave N. Neem oil poisoning: case report of an adult with toxic encephalopathy.

Evaluation of the wound healing activity of methanolic extract of Azadirachta indica and Tinospora cordifolia (guduchi) in rats.A similar 2013 study compared the effects of saline and neem oil on wound healing in rats. Those that received neem oil healed faster and did not develop raised scars.

People should use organic, cold-pressed neem oil. The oil should have a cloudy, yellow-brown color and a strong odor. Similarly, one man experienced neurological and psychotic symptoms after consuming 2.1 ounces (60 mL) of neem oil ( 23). Neem oil may help encourage hair growth and scalp health thanks to its moisturising properties. It’s said to assist in:

The more oil there is to feed on, the more it grows. But if the malassezia grows too much, it can disrupt the scalp’s skin cell renewal and cause skin to cluster together in what we know as dandruff. To use it as a spot treatment, apply a small amount of diluted oil to the affected skin. Let the mixture soak into the skin, then rinse it off with warm water. Because of the potency of neem oil, it’s a good idea to mix it with equal parts of a carrier oil — like jojoba, grapeseed, or coconut oil — when using it for larger areas of the face or body, or on sensitive skin. First, however, it is important to note that most of the studies involved cell lines or animals. Those that did involve humans only included small numbers of participants. This makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of neem in the general population. Anti-aging effects AlzohairyM. (2016). Therapeutics role of Azadirachta indica (neem) and their activeconstituents in diseases prevention and treatment. DOI:A 2002 study found that topical application of linoleic acid showed an almost 25% decrease in the appearance of spots compared with a placebo.³ My very positive Neem experience was in 2004/2005 when I was deployed to work as part of the Military Headquarters in Baghdad (Iraq). Midday temperatures were frequently in the mid 40C's and sometimes up as high as 50C. Sweat was a problem and because we couldn’t shower or change clothes on a frequent basis, and worked in a stressful environment, sweat rash became a problem for many. Hair loss can occur for several reasons - but emerging evidence suggests that oxidative stress is a common contributor. 2 Medical News Today has strict sourcing guidelines and draws only from peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical journals and associations.
