Traditional Significance of Neem
Neem has deep spiritual and health significance in India. The Sanskrit name of the Neem tree is “Arishtha,” meaning “reliever of sickness.” The tree is believed to be of divine origin, having dripped from the heavens as Indira, or the celestial kind. In Hindu mythology, it is believed planting neem trees ensured one’s entry to heaven and the tree is related to Dhanmantri, the Aryan god of medicine.
The tree is still referred to in India as “the village dispensary” because every part of the plant is believed to have health value. It is very common for people to have neem trees growing to purify the air, and in rural areas people may tie neem leaves outside their front door to ward off evil spirits. Brides bathe in Neem leaves before their wedding, and even babies are laid upon a bed of neem leaves for protection when they’re born.
Where is Neem grown?
ORGANIC INDIA Neem is sourced from the hilly region of Bundelkhand, India. The tree is native to dry areas of India, Burma and Sri Lanka but has been introduced in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
