Neem: Benefits, Side Effects, Uses, and More

Improve skin health

Neem seed oil is rich in fatty acids, including oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. Collectively, these fatty acids have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties that promote healthy skin.

Other potential health benefits

Neem may have several other health benefits, although there are mixed results, and further studies in people are necessary.

Antifertility treatment

Neem has also been considered as an alternative to a vasectomy due to its antifertility effects. A vasectomy [5] is a surgical procedure that sterilizes people with testicles by stopping the release of sperm.

Based on studies done on animals, neem may immobilize and kill sperm with no long term consequences.
