NEEM

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It can grow up to 15-20 meters tall and has pinnate leaves, small white flowers, and distinctive green to yellowish fruits. Neem is highly valued for its numerous medicinal and agricultural uses. Its leaves, bark, seeds, and oil contain compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent properties. Traditionally, neem has been used in Ayurveda to treat skin conditions, infections, and dental problems. In agriculture, neem oil is used as a natural pesticide, making it an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
