A tropical tree native to India, commonly known as the neem tree, whose leaves and seeds are used for medicinal and pesticide purposes.
From Sanskrit 'azedarakh' meaning 'free tree', the term was Latinized as the scientific genus name Azadirachta for this tree, which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.
The neem tree is sometimes called 'the village pharmacy' in India because nearly every part of it—leaves, seeds, bark, and even roots—has been used to treat everything from skin conditions to malaria, making it one of the most medicinally versatile plants on Earth.
