Neem is a tree native to the Indian subcontinent, known scientifically as Azadirachta indica. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a wide canopy. The tree is valued for its medicinal properties and is often referred to as the "village pharmacy" due to its various uses in traditional medicine. The leaves, bark, and seeds of the neem tree contain compounds that have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Neem oil, extracted from the seeds, is commonly used in organic farming as a natural pesticide. Additionally, neem is used in skincare products for its ability to soothe and heal skin irritations.
