Neem is an evergreen that grows in the tropics and sub-tropics. Neem has been used widely in Indian traditional medicine for various therapeutic purposes and to protect against new diseases. Scientific investigations carried out during the last two decades have reported anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties of Neem.
The medicinal uses are attributed to several compounds including azadirachtin and meliantriol. Neem products have been used against heat rash, boils, wounds, chicken pox, fungal infections, parasites, lice, Dental infections and respiratory infections.
It is also found in a variety of personal hygiene products, insect repellents and natural pesticides. Neem -based pesticide formulations are safe, natural, and biodegradable unlike chemical and synthetic pesticides, which leave behind residues polluting air, water and soil.
Neem can be purchased as an essential oil, cream, salve or ointment. Neem is usually used on the skin, as a mouthwash, or as an inhalation. In North America it is rarely used internally but it is used in India for internal conditions. It can also be found in hygiene products and natural pesticides. Essential oils are concentrated substances and should not be used internally without supervision.
There has never been a report of the topical or dental application of neem causing an adverse side effect. It is always recommended that personal reaction and tolerance to herbal products be tested at the onset of use for any new supplement. The safety of neem in children, pregnant women and nursing mothers has not been determined.
Dry Skin
The skin is the largest organ in the body. Its function is to act as a barrier to the external environment, allow the exchange of water and to modify vitamins. Dry skin can be simple or complex.
Simple dry skin occurs when the skin is deficient in natural oils and fails to hold water in skin cells. Oil normally lubricates the skin and acts as a barrier to avoid excessive evaporation of water from the upper layers of the dermis.
Simple dry skin usually occurs in women under the age of 35. Complex dry skin lacks both oil and moisture. The protein components of the skin may be damaged from prolonged UV exposure. Complex dry skin tends to develop brown spots, fine lines and enlarged pores. Complex dry skin usually affects older adults and is associated with aging.
Dry skin appears dull, scaly, flaky, chapped or cracked, and develops fine lines and wrinkles more readily than healthy skin. It may feel tight after washing and be relieved when moisturizer is applied. It most commonly occurs on areas of the body that are exposed to the elements. It can be caused by nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, environmental factors (like dry heat, sun or wind), chemical use, cosmetics, excessive bathing and harsh soaps.
To fight dry skin topically, avoid chlorinated tap water for drinking and bathing. Stay out of the sun. Use gloves while handling any substance that irritates the skin. Avoid perfumes and colourings in laundry and personal hygiene products. Use glycerin and natural soaps to wash your body, face and hair. Take oatmeal baths to relieve itching.
Calendula or vitamin E cream or ointment or aloe vera gel can be used to nourish the skin. Steam the skin with herbs such as chamomile, lavender or peppermint.
Dietary change is important for nourishing the skin. Water. Water. Water. Eat foods high in zinc such as whole grains, sunflower seeds and raw nuts.
Eat lots of fruit, especially mango and apricot, for its water content and alpha-hydroxy acids. Sulphur rich foods like garlic, onions, eggs and asparagus, provide raw material for building skin proteins.
Essential fatty acids are a source of the good fats for the skin. Use cold pressed oils like flax, olive, sunflower and safflower. Avoid hydrogenated fats, fried foods, soft drinks, sugar, chocolate, junk foods, cigarettes and alcohol. Ask your health professional if the recommendation medication you are taking is contributing to your dry skin.
