Neem Oil

Purpose: Remedy note for neem oil.

Claimed use

Neem is often discussed for pests, parasites, skin applications, and traditional medicine. In this knowledge base, neem notes should distinguish topical use, environmental use, and ingestion claims.

Neem oil, bentonite clay, and limes were suggested as a combination. Another note suggested one drop of neem oil in warm water.

Oral-use warning

Safety note: Swallowing neem oil in larger amounts (20 ml) has been associated with severe poisoning reports (source).
