A) Treats Head Lice
According to research, a neem treatment for lice has no side effects as it contains azadirachtin, an insecticidal ingredient, that is said to disrupt the growth and reproduction of lice, eventually and effectively killing them. Moreover, studies suggest that neem’s pungent odour repels lice and hence works as a great preventive measure, too.
B) Effectively Treats Scalp Infections
Neem oil is a potent elixir for all health woes as it comes with strong healing (anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral) properties. Moreover, neem oil is an effective way to regulate the secretion of sebum, thereby normalising the dryness or oiliness of the scalp. It further has a cooling and soothing effect, which promotes relaxation.
C) Hair Loss and Balding
Neem’s high fatty acid content is extremely beneficial for scalp health. Excess oil production may also trigger hair loss by clogging the pores of the scalp. The clogging further gives rise to inflammation on the scalp that takes a toll on your roots, damaging them. Rinsing hair with neem water helps clean the scalp. It also clears the clogged pores and enhances hair growth.
