can some boby explain in what form neem should be taken - neem leaves or fruits

It depends upon the purpose. For Intestinal worms tender leaves are used. For brushing and tongue scraping twigs are used. For therapeutic use like in Skin diseases its bark is used.

Thanks for ur advise.I will try tender leaves. Hope there is no side effect

Hi Swarna,
Will you please let me know the practical use of Neem in Diabetes?

Just two to three tender leaves are sufficinet to meet a days requirement. Leaves should be consumed especially early in the morning in empty stomach.

Shikha,

Diabetes being a metabolic disease needs a very careful consideration while administering neem as a medication. So never consume neem when under medications as it could lead to hypoglycemia. Moreover raw intake of neem leaves will not give significant benefits in diabetes. Neem is usually given in the form of a decoction along with various other herbs in diabetes.

A person with Diabetes should not use neem on her own ( without a proper
guidance) is it..??

Yes...for that matter the theory holds good for all herbs in other health conditions too..

Hi Balasubramani,

Neem leaf is a traditional herb for treating diabetes and has been scientifically proven effective in treating and preventing diabetes. Oral doses of neem leaf extracts significantly reduced insulin requirements for non-insulin dependent diabetes. So no problem to have but take only for 5days a week .
