The name is Neem Tree “God’s gift to mankind”
The study of trees is Dendrology. The study of medical remedies is Acology.
“THE village pharmacy”—that is what people call the neem tree in India. For centuries people in that country have looked to the neem to provide relief from pain, fever, and infections. Believing that the neem can help purify their blood, many Hindus begin each year by eating a few neem leaves. People also clean their teeth with neem twigs, apply neem-leaf juice to skin disorders, and drink neem tea as a tonic.
Found in tropical regions, the neem is a member of the mahogany family of trees. It grows up to 100 feet tall [30 m] and can achieve a girth of over 8 feet [2.5 m]. Since it is seldom leafless, it provides shade year-round. It grows quickly, requires little maintenance, and fares well in poor soil.
In 1959 a German Entomologist and his students became involved in neem research after witnessing a massive locust plague in the Sudan during which billions of locusts devoured the leaves of every tree except the neem. Bugs hate this tree.
Since then, scientists have learned that the neem’s complex chemical arsenal is effective against more than 200 insect species as well as various mites, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and even several viruses.
Genesis 1:11-13 Then God said: “Let the earth cause grass to sprout, seed-bearing plants and fruit trees according to their kinds, yielding fruit along with seed on the earth.” And it was so. 12 And the earth began to produce grass, seed-bearing plants and trees yielding fruit along with seed, according to their kinds. Then God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day
