What is Neem Leaf?

Neem leaf comes from the neem tree, Azadirachta indica. It is an indigenous tree to India, seen all across the country. Neem has strong antifungal, antibacterial, and therapeutic properties. It has been used in Ayurveda for a long time.

Despite having a bitter taste, the leaves are rich in minerals and other beneficial compounds. Neem leaves are used in medicines, cosmetics, and dental care items in a dried, powdered, or fresh form. Neem leaves are also used to make extracts, oils, and vitamins.

How is Neem Leaf cultivated?

Neem trees grow well in tropical areas with sandy and well-drained soil. This tree needs ample sunlight and an airy atmosphere. It is an all-weather tree with a big, fat trunk. 

The cultivation usually begins during the monsoon season. Farmers dig trenches to encourage robust growth and better root development.

Neem is usually cultivated from seeds or seedlings. There are two ways to start cultivation: direct seeding and transplanting. Once established, the trees don’t need much watering or upkeep.

Neem leaves can be picked once they reach maturity. They are gathered fresh, left to dry in the shade, and then crushed into extracts, oils, or powders for use.
