The Neem Tree has taken many thousands of years to learn how to protect itself from insects.
It was discovered this in the West when a locust plague went through the Sudan in the 60’s and destroyed everything in sight but left the Neem trees without any damage whatsoever so scientists then decided to examine the Neem tree to find out why.
Since then much scientific study of Neem has been conducted in many countries and it is now becoming the product of choice with farmers and plant growers mainly due to its effects on insects and non toxic effect on humans and animals.
There have also been many scientific studies done overseas on the medical benefits of Neem. These studies are ongoing with many incredible results.
We listened to many professors and doctors from various parts of the world presenting their advanced medical studies when we attended the World Neem Organisation Conference in India.
Now here is an interesting character that we met at the World Neem Organisation conference last December – He is Klaus Ferlow from Canada.
He has been a keen buff and advocate of Neem for many years and has written a book on its many aspects. The book includes a valuable guide to herbs, list many beneficial applications of Neem, and explores its politics and history. The endearing story of the Neem tree is told through the eyes of one of its most enthusiastic advocates.
