Neem Oil

#Oleavine Health
Neem Oil

Neem oil is a very useful carrier oil to learn about for skin, scalp, and other blending needs.  It possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.  

There is one very important thing about Neem that the uninitiated needs to know.  Neem has a very STRONG odor.  It isn't necessarily a bad odor, but it can be over powering.  I have encountered some Neem oils that I just could not stomach regardless of how well they worked.  Then again, I never had major dry, cracked and itchy skin.  So after a few failures, I took a break from Neem for awhile.  It was time for me to revisit this great skin oil as my hubby has very dry itchy skin.  

The Oleavine Neem oil I tried is very effective, almost instantly Hubby's itching stopped.  Equally importantly to me, the blender and applier, it has a tolerable odor.  It is still strong, as I expect all Neem to be, but it is more toasted nuts, than dead fish and compost.  (Yes really, some are that bad.) 

Neem oil is usually used as a low dilution of a carrier oil blend.  You might start at 2% Neem and see if you get the desired results before slowly increasing the percentage until you find the right amount for your needs.  Neem oil would also be a great addition to hair and scalp treatments.  It can be used straight safely but as with many things, less can be just as effective.  

So for a great Neem oil that works without making your eyes water;
Oleavine Neem oil !
