Oleavine Neem Oil Review

Question:  Name one item that can protect your skin, fight aging, strengthen the scalp and beautify your hair, aid in the treatment of diabetes, rebel bugs and prevent mosquito breeding, treat athlete's foot, warts, kill fleas and ticks on pets and much, much more?  If you answered "Neem Oil," then you answered correctly.  If you don't know what Neem oil is, you're not alone, as I didn't know either, until I had the opportunity to try it for free in exchange for my honest review.

For those (like myself) who need to know where things "come from," you may be interested in knowing that Neem oil is derived from a tree native to India called the Azadiracta indica.  It's also referred to as "Neem," "Nimtree," and "Indian Lilac."  Due to it's abilities to combat insects, it's often used in agricultural products as a pesticide.  However, while it fights insects, it's been found to be mostly non-toxic to birds, fish, wildlife and, when used properly, humans.  With that said, many other amazing qualities of Neem have been discovered.

When being used to treat skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and aging skin, Neem should only be used externally.  Neem is known to have a little bit of a foul odor, but produces phenomenal results.  With that said, many people like to mix it with their favorite essential oil to add a delightful scent.

I have not used Neem on my skin as of this posting.  However, at the time I received my bottle of Neem oil, I had an odd influx in fungus gnats in my home.  I think they probably came from some banana's that sat on top of the fridge for a day too long.  Nevertheless, once those things start multiplying, they're almost impossible to get rid of!  After scouring the Internet for a solution, I used a combination of solutions that seemed to work phenomenally.  I poured 3 Tablespoons of Neem oil into a small 2 oz spray bottle.  I then added a squirt of dish soap, and a little water.  After spraying the areas where the gnats seemed to gather, including the trash can, I was able to eliminate the nasty little guys within 2 days.  That alone gives me reason enough to keep a bottle handy at all times.  Nevertheless, I have heard of so many great benefits of using Neem oil on the skin, I do plan on expanding my usage of it once I can tolerate the smell.

Have you ever used Neem oil?  I would love to hear how you used it.  Please share in the comments below!
