In India, the tree is variously known as Sacred TreeHeal AllNature's DrugstoreVillage Pharmacy and Panacea for all diseases.
Products made from neem tree have been used in India for over 2000 years for their medicinal properties: Neem products have been observed to be anthelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, contraceptive and sedative. Neem products are also used in selectively controlling pests in plants. It is considered a major component in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine and is particularly prescribed for skin disease. All parts of the tree are said to have medicinal properties (seeds, leaves, flowers and bark) and are used for preparing many different medical preparations.
