Every part of the tree, fruits, seeds, leaves, bark, flowers and roots contain compounds with proven antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal uses. It has been extensively used in Ayurveda for more than 5000 years for its medicinal properties.

Natural Neem Honey is derived from the nectar of the Neem flower collected by the wild honeybees in the forest.  The tribals follow sustainable practices while gathering the honey from the honeycomb, they take care to ensure that the queen bee and most of colony of bees moves on the upper most part of the beehive and then only they take away two thirds of the comb for harvesting the honey. This practice ensures that the bees survive and are able to rebuild the hive within no time. To learn more about the tribals of Gurgunta, please click here.
