I grew up with stories of my mom using neem packs all over the body to cure different types of skin issues.
And they would just go into the backyard, get the leaves, crush them up, and put them on the body. [MUSIC PLAYING]
One of my favorite ways to use neem is just as a bathtub pack. So you can just get some neem powder or some neem
leaves and put it in a little piece of cloth and drop it into a tub full of hot water and just soak in it for a few moments.
This is wonderful for systemic skin conditions like rashes or eczema or psoriasis.
And you just have to soak in it for a few moments, and you're done. Another great way to use neem is just get the neem leaves themselves.
And you can just grind this down and make a paste out of it. If you have access to some clay, you can add it in.
But you don't even need the clay necessarily. You can just add a little bit of water and place it onto your skin. This is actually the way that they did it traditionally
in India. And I grew up with stories of my mom using neem packs all over the body
to cure different types of skin issues. And they would just go into the backyard, get the leaves, crush them up, and put them on the body.
This isn't necessarily a home remedy. But it is extremely easy to use. All you have to do is purchase a little bit of neem oil
and just rub it into any area of the skin that's sensitive two to three times a day for treating very difficult-to-treat skin
conditions like psoriasis. [AUDIO LOGO]
