Author(s): Vishwadeep Shukla, Archana Tiwari, Archana Mishra and Narendra Kumar Shukla

Abstract:

The World Health Organization reports that herbal treatment is used by the majority of the world's population. The neem plant, or Azadirachta indica, is one of the most famous medical herbs in Africa and Asia, and it has a long history of medicinal use. Its many traditional therapeutic uses stem from the high concentration of physiologically active components. A number of chemical components, including nimbin, gedunin, azadirachtin, cyclic trisulphide, mahmoodin, and others, have a wide range of applications, including the treatment of fever, inflammation, infection, stomach ulcers, arthritis, hypoglycemia, diuretics, tumors, and immunomodulation. Traditional medicine practitioners have used plant extracts for a wide range of medical conditions, including leprosy, epistaxis, eye issues, intestinal worm removal, anorexia, skin ulcers, biliousness, burning, wounds, itching, and skin infections such as ringworms.
It increases crop yields by acting as both a fertilizer and an insecticide. Drug resistance has become a pandemic in both people and animals, and this plant provides a potential substitute for the extensive and long-term use of synthetic medications. The tree is used as feed for animals, which means it may also provide them with protein, minerals, fatty acids, vitamins, and more. This might mean that they are building up an immunity to diseases while still getting the medicine in an indirect method. Every possible aspect of Azadirachta indica is covered in this research, from its chemical components to its medicinal usefulness and possible side effects.
