Neem tree (Azadirachta indica)The Neem tree (Azadirachta indica) is a deciduous tree that grows 6-25 meters tall with a sturdy trunk and spreading branches. It can be found throughout the country up to an altitude of 900 meters. The tree produces dark-green leaves and fragrant white or yellow flowers, which yield fruit with a deep seed. In regions with freezing temperatures, the Neem tree becomes dormant. The use of Neem dates back to around 2500 B.C., when it was employed by the ancient Indian Harappa culture. It has since been widely used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicines globally, particularly in India for treating various diseases. In fact, many scholars believe that over half of all Ayurvedic preparations from this period contained Neem. It is well-established that many medicinal drugs are derived from natural sources, including plants. As a result, different approaches to disease management using plant-based treatments have become popular worldwide. The Neem tree has significant therapeutic implications for various diseases and is used in the formulation of medicines.

Here is the rewritten text: The leaves are arranged alternately and are pinnate, measuring 8-16 inches long, with 15-30 leaflets that are 1-3 inches long. The terminal leaflet is often absent. The petioles are short and slightly flattened. The flowers are white, fragrant, and drooping, forming panicles up to 10 inches long. These inflorescences can branch up to three levels and contain between 120-250 individual flowers, each measuring 0.23 inches long by 0.40 inches wide. Both male and bisexual flowers are present on the same tree. The fruit is a smooth, olive-shaped drupe that varies in shape from elongated oval to nearly round. When ripe, it measures 1.5-3 cm by 1-1.5 cm. Inside, one or occasionally two or three elongated seeds with brown seed coats are enclosed within the hard white shell. The bark is dark brown on the outside and buff-colored inside, with a fibrous fracture pattern.

For centuries, various parts of the neem tree have been used in Asia for their medicinal properties. The oil is used for skin and hair care, while the bark extract has anti-inflammatory effects on the mouth and gums. The leaves are also used as an insecticide. Traditionally, every part of the tree was utilized, with patients suffering from chronic diseases advised to live under its canopy and consume all aspects of the plant. Due to its perceived cooling effect, they were also instructed to avoid animal products, alcohol, sex, spices, and other substances that stimulate the body. A diet rich in milk was considered acceptable.^thIn ancient times, a neem bark decoction was used to treat various fevers, particularly malaria. To this day, neem remains a well-known household remedy for skin conditions in the Indian subcontinent. Neem leaves are often used in baths or chewed as a blood purifier. The oil extracted from its seeds is applied topically for skin issues or blended with other ingredients. The sap of mature neem trees is valued for overall health, while the leaves are added to animal feed due to their high protein content. The tree's seeds and leaves also produce an insect repellent. Neem contains azadirachtin, a chemical that disrupts insect larvae metamorphosis, preventing them from developing further. Many insects find neem leaves unpalatable and will starve rather than eat them. The seeds yield approximately 40% oil, which is used in toothpaste, lotions, and soaps.
