I just wanted to share more about a tree that grows commonly in India called the Neem Tree. Since I was child ihave heard from my parents and grandparent how useful this tree is to us. THIs is in fact the only tree whose each and every part can be used and is of utmost medicianl benefit.

That is why it is also known as the Village pharmacy. Earlier when peole did not have much access to alopathic medicines, this was the only tree that could cure many ailments....

HEre is a list of some of the wonderous things a neem tree can be used for,
Neem Oil - extracted from seed and has medicinl and pesticidal properties.
NEem Seed cake - after oil extraction the leftovers when added to soil makes it more fertile.
Neem leaves - to treat chiken pox
Neem twigs as toothbrushes
Neem barks to control pet ticks
Neem leaf extracts for spermicidal effects

There is more...I'll add on to the list as I know more about the tree.....
