About Neem:
Neem is a quick-growing evergreen tree in the mahogany family, native to the Indian subcontinent. The leaves, fruit, and seeds are used for a wide variety of products. Neem oil can be used as an insect repellent or an anti-fungal salve. Twigs from the tree are traditionally used as toothbrushes in India, and neem toothpaste is becoming quite popular. Neem as an herbal tisane is widely consumed as a health tonic. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is said to calm the imbalance of pitta (inner fire element). The flavor of infused neem leaf is quite bitter and can be blended with other herbs, or with honey and lemon, to cut the bitterness.
Ingredients: Neem Leaves.
