The Neem Tree - The Village Pharmacy

The Neem Tree - ‘The Village Pharmacy’
For centuries, the Neem tree has been known in India as the ‘Village Pharmacy’ due to its many and varied healing properties.

The Natural Solution for:

Head Lice - made from neem seed extract

Midges & Mosquitoes - made from neem seed oil

Concentated Neem Seed extract is an extremely powerful method of eliminating insects. Dr Mary Tatner and Mari Dudgeon of the University of Glasgow investigated the effectiveness of Neem Seed extract in treating lice.

School nurses examined 581 children in 6 Glasgow schools, and found that more than 1 in 20 children had head lice. The researchers then tested Neem Seed extract in the lab and found that it killed 90% of the lice in 22 hours.

Neem Oil is cold pressed from the seed of the Neem tree and is a powerful natural insect repellent for midges and mosquitoes. The oil has been tested extensively on the Highland midge by a team of leading experts in Edinburgh. There are 37 species of midge in Scotland, the most voracious being the Highland Midge Culicoides impunctatus. In one study 5 million midges were collected from two square metres.

Midges have highly sensitive antennae which can detect Neem oil from the air. Neem oil scent prevents midges from biting.
