Neem

Called 'the village pharmacy' in India, the neem tree has been used in Ayurveda for over 4,000 years. Ancient Sanskrit texts reference neem extensively. UN officials have called it 'the tree of the 21st century.' In India, neem twigs have been used as toothbrushes for millennia — modern research confirms their antibacterial properties. Every part of the tree from leaf to root is used medicinally, earning it the title 'Sarva Roga Nivarini' — the curer of all ailments.
