Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is neem so bitter? A: The intense bitterness comes from azadirachtin and other limonoid compounds - these are the therapeutic components! The bitterness indicates potency. You can add honey to tea or use capsules if taste is challenging.

Q: Can neem really help with diabetes? A: Multiple clinical studies show neem leaves can significantly lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. However, always work with your healthcare provider, monitor blood sugar carefully, and never stop prescribed medications.

Q: Is neem safe to use every day? A: For topical use, yes. For internal consumption, traditional Ayurveda recommends cyclical use - 8-10 weeks on, then take a break. Long-term continuous internal use should be supervised by a qualified practitioner.

Q: Can I use neem during pregnancy? A: NO. Neem has been traditionally used as a contraceptive and may affect pregnancy. Pregnant women and those trying to conceive should avoid internal neem use entirely.

Q: How long before I see results for acne? A: Many people notice improvement within 1-2 weeks of consistent use (2-3 times daily topical application). For best results, combine topical treatment with internal consumption (if appropriate).

Q: Can children use neem? A: Topical use for skin conditions is generally safe for children over 12. Internal consumption should be avoided in young children. Always consult a pediatrician first.

Q: Does neem interact with medications? A: Yes, potentially. Neem may enhance diabetes medications, interact with immunosuppressants, and affect lithium levels. Always consult your healthcare provider if taking any medications.

Q: Why is Ceylon neem better than Indian neem? A: Sri Lankan growing conditions (tropical climate, volcanic soil, sacred grove cultivation) produce neem with higher azadirachtin content (0.4-0.8% vs 0.2-0.5%), more vitamin C (218mg vs 140-180mg), and superior bioactive compound density.

Q: Can I use neem for my pets? A: Neem is toxic to some animals (especially cats). Consult a veterinarian before using any neem products on or around pets. It is used in some pet care products but in controlled amounts.

Q: How do I reduce the bitter taste? A: Add honey, mix with other herbs (like ginger or mint), use capsules, or consume very quickly followed by something sweet. The bitterness is therapeutic, but there are ways to make it more palatable.
