Neem is yet another divine very bitter tasting herb that is well known and used extensively in Ayurveda internally and externally. Neem, overall, is used for detoxification, especially of the skin, and for immuno-modulation.
In Sanskrit neem leaf is called nimba. The Ayurvedic text Bhava Prakash describes it as sheeta (cooling), tikta (bitter), grahi (enhancing absorption), katupaka (pungent effect after digestion), and krimipranut (making it hard for harmful microbes to live with).
Neem is one of the most powerful herbs for detoxifying the liver. With the compromised state of the modern physiology and liver in the world today, this herb must be used with extreme caution: if the liver is detoxified too quickly, the old toxins sitting there will go back into the bloodstream and relocate in other parts of the body with the potential to cause serious problems and disease. That’s why Vaidya developed Trans-dermal and Trans–mucosal application of this potent plant.
Neem for the Skin – Transdermally
Neem taken in large doses is very powerful. In fact, the crude form of this herb should not be taken in large doses as it may awaken the detox process faster than the toxins can be safely evacuated. Neem soap, however, delivers many of the properties of neem that support immunity but in a manner that will not overwhelm the body’s detox pathways.
Another benefit of neem in the transdermal delivery system is that it can be used directly on targeted areas of the skin, when and as/where needed for gentle detox and to support skin immunity. For example, here is what you can expect with the Soap:
Gives just the prabhavas (special qualities) and sukshma bhag (subtle essence) of neem without the strongly liver detoxifying bitter taste
Provides a gentle delivery of this powerful herb
Added to 1 to 2 liters of cool water and sipped throughout the day
Does not have to go through the digestive, metabolic or liver system
Although not as detoxifying as whole neem leaf, this herbal-memory nectar should still be used with caution and under the supervision of an SV Ayurveda practitioner.
With the nectar drops you get the benefit of the prabhavas (specific ultimate effects) of neem without a strong detoxification effect. Nonetheless you should still use caution, even with these drops. Vaidya Mishra recommends that you not use these nectar drops except under the strict supervision of your Shaka Vansiya health practitioner.
The Neem and Brahmi Body Wash is a great favorite of many – with the same transdermal benefits of Neem for the skin and the added properties of Brahmi. It’s a great companion for your daily hand and/or body wash, free from chemicals and preservatives. You have to try it to see what we mean!
