Neem Powder, 100g

Neem powder is composed of grounded, dried leaves of the Neem tree. It is green in color with a slight herbal scent. It is used as a natural deodorant, due to it having antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is also effective against insects (especially head lice) and dandruff.

It is a natural hair conditioner and perfect for problem skin care. Neem powder is very good for skin suffering from acne, rashes, allergies, heat rashes or nappy rashes. In India, all parts of the tree (seeds, leaves, flowers and bark) are used for preparing many different medical preparations and Neem twigs are used for brushing teeth. This practice is perhaps one of the earliest and most effective forms of dental care. The tree is also known as "Divine Tree", "Heal All", "Nature's Drugstore" and "Village Pharmacy".

Directions for use:
Hair care: Mix Neem powder with water until you are satisfied with the density of the paste. Apply to clean hair and massage well into scalp. Leave on the hair for at least 20 minutes or 1 hour for more intensive care. Rinse with water.

For very sensitive skin you can mix 10% of Neem powder and 90% of White or Green clay before mixing with water. Leave on the skin for 15 minutes, rinse with water then moisten skin with a toner or hydrosol and apply a moisturizer or carrier oil.
