Beaming Health with Neem
Call Neem, Neem will rush to you
As toothbrush (Datun) in teeth.
Sing Neem, Neem,
Will fall like Neembauri in
The lap of girls swinging
On the swing
Look for Neem
You will find it fighting
In the granary against the rust.
Think Neem;
And find in swirling
Inside yourselves
This poem written by Mr.Pawan Kumar in www.kritya.in explains the role of neem in our daily life. Neem which belongs to family Meliaceae, has a botanical name Azadirachta Indica. It grows in tropical and semi tropical regions and is widely found in Burma, India and Pakistan. This is a very fast growing, ever green tree which reaches the height of 15 to 20 meters.
Neem is known for its immeasurable medicinal properties and is used as a main ingredient in many home remedies. Commending the medicinal properties of neem, numerous sanskrit names have been coined by our Ayurveda acharyas . Few of them are mentioned below.
- It is known as Nimba as it boosts health
- It is praised as Pichumarda as it destroys skin diseases.
