What is Neem?
The power of the neem tree has been harnessed since Ayurvedic times for a variety of healing and wellness purposes. Neem’s medicinal uses include increasing immunity, promoting detoxification, and treating fungal infections, among others. However, neem’s most pronounced benefits appear to be in dental care. That is likely why there is evidence of ancient people brushing with neem as far back as 5,000 years ago.
Rather than speaking in qualitative terms, we thought it would be helpful to share some quantitative research studies that have been performed on neem. To that end, please find below several links to independent third-party studies done on the benefits of neem in dental care:
