Neem: A Natural Remedy for Digestive Issues

Neem has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine for those struggling with digestive problems.

• Heartburn and Indigestion: Neem leaves are traditionally used to soothe heartburn and indigestion by reducing stomach acid levels. Leaves can be chewed or brewed as tea, or taken as capsules or as powder sprinkled on food.
• Ulcer Treatment: Studies have shown that neem leaf extracts can help protect against and heal peptic and duodenal ulcers.
• Dosage: It's important to note that the effectiveness of neem for ulcers may vary depending on the dosage. Lower doses (20-40mg/kg) have been found to be most beneficial, while higher doses appear to reduce its anti-ulcer effects.
