Neem tree overall is very useful to mankind. Neem tree leaves, stems, flowers, fruits, roots all of its parts are useful and effective in our many day to day problems.

Holy basil leaves

There is a reason it has been given the title ‘Holy’.

Holy basil or Tulsi (In India) is very beneficial for us. Be it to boost our immunity or to treat ailments and infections.

It is milder as compared to Neem, but it heals us gently.

Holy basil has anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti inflammatory properties which relieves our skin from acne, skin infections and black heads.

It contains Vitamin-k and antioxidants which protects and repairs our skin cells gently and promotes healthy blemish free skin.

Marigold/Calendula flowers

Marigold or Calendula flowers has anti fungal, anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties.

Marigold flower infusions, oils, tinctures are used to treat many skin infections and to cure wounds.

It is a natural and safest antiseptic. This is the reason marigold oil is also used to treat baby diaper rash.

Marigold flower petals are known to contain 5 essential compound which are responsible to provide antioxidant protection to our skin, soothes the inflamed skin and reduces skin infection related discomfort.

In ancient times people used to crush the marigold flower petals and directly apply them over any skin infection such as boils or pimples or rash to cure and heal them naturally.
