HEALTHY SKIN WITH NEEM!

Skin is our largest organ. Constantly replacing old and damaged cells, our skin needs a lot of care from the inside and the outside if it is to remain healthy. This amazing organ that protects us is also a visible display of how healthy we are and of how long and how wisely we have lived. The entire cosmetic industry is built upon the desire to improve the condition and appearance of their skin. They buy products to heal any and all problems with their skin, often resorting to strong chemicals and dangerous medications to do so.

The rediscovery of natural products like neem that have long traditions of safety and efficacy offer the opportunity to get back to the basics of healthy and beautiful skin. In India, the dry summers under an intense tropical sun have been countered from before written history with neern preparations. Neem oil quickly relieves dry skin because it is easily absorbed into the skin's upper layers where it helps heal damaged skin and enables it to recover its natural balance. These properties enable neem to reduce wrinkles by helping skin retain its suppleness as collagen formation is promoted. Many people believe neem even heals damage caused by ultraviolet rays, and prevents premature ageing and skin cancer.

Psoriasis is a particularly devastating skin disease. Psoriasis flare-ups can range from mild discomfort to deadly and debilitating attacks. The usual topical treatment for psoriasis involves either coal tar or cortisone. Coal tar products are messy, smelly, carcinogenic, and can be phototoxic. Cortisone can thin the skin and produce systemic toxicity after repeated use, especially in children. Neem has none of these drawbacks. Topical applications of neem. are easy and inexpensive, and since it is usually oil or cream based, neem helps to lubricate the skin. Neem can be used topically for extended periods without side effects and can replace oral medications and injections. With centuries of safe and effective use, neem is perhaps the best and safest treatment for psoriasis.

Though nowhere near as severe as psoriasis, eczema can also be a problem for those experiencing it. Neern is traditionally known as one of the better for eczema because of the broad range of beneficial effects it has on skin. In tests two daily applications of neem
extract cured all cases in ten days with no recurrence for three months. Though-neern oil is preferred because of the concentration of active compounds, topical applications of even the milder leaf or bark extracts have cured acute eczema.

Many elements and infectious agents attack skin. Neern is very beneficial for skin conditions because of its ability to kill bacteria, parasites, and fungi, stop viral replication and improve the immune system.
