{xtypo_dropcap}T{/xtypo_dropcap}he vermifugal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties of neem tree oil have been extensively documented. Using 600 mg. of pure, unprocessed neem tree oil per suppository, this product takes advantage of this scientific fact to create an experimental product that we are now providing for our affiliated practitioners -- (hence the low price).

Neem Oil Suppositories can be used in either vaginal or rectal applications, but our area of focus is on the potential for use as a prophylactic. The use of neem tree oil (Azadirachta indica) in vaginal form as a prophylactic has been used for thousands of years in India (at least since the sixth century, B.C.). Our concern, of course, is that although sufficient toxicological data has been amassed to demonstrate its safety, there is insufficient data to ascertain the true extent of its ability to not only prevent pregnancy, but also STD's, as has been alleged, including bacterial (i.e. gonorrhea, syphillis, etc.) and viral (i.e. HIV, hepatitis, etc.) sources of transmission. There are, however, tests that confirm its vermifugal properties - especially against nematodes. Only the passage of time and the construction of well-designed and executed clinical tests will provide additional certainty as to its effectiveness.
