Neem: Monsoon super herb that fights 5 common skin problems naturally

In India, especially during the monsoon season, people frequently experience skin problems due to high moisture and humidity levels. For thousands of years, Neem has been used in Indian dermatology, with varying applications for many skin conditions, across traditions. The leaves, oil and extracts of Neem contain different bioactive compounds, including nimbidin, azadirachtin and flavonoids, which are considered to provide antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. The combination of these bioactive compounds enables Neem to create a formidable line of defence against skin infections and irritations, which can begin or worsen during the monsoon season. All you need to know from the expert Dr. Shruthi M Hegde, B.A.M.S, M.D, Ayurveda Expert-Discovery Sciences Group, Research & Development Centre, Himalaya Wellness Company, Bengaluru. advertisementHumidity increases perspiration and oil production on the skin, which can increase the potential for bacterial and fungal pathogens. This can lead to several skin irritations, such as acne, fungal infections, eczema-like rashes, or irritation. Most of Neem's antimicrobial properties have been supported by several scientific studies, indicating that Neem inhibits acne-causing bacteria and leads to decreased skin inflammatory responses, therefore reducing irritation and new pimples. The antifungal activity is relevant, as many normal fungal pathogens associated with athlete's foot and ringworm commonly thrive in damp and humid environments.1. Acne is very common during the rainy season because the humid climate leads to increased sweat and oil production, which can clog pores and result in blackheads and pimples. Research in India has shown that Neem's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce bacteria and soothe inflamed 2. Eczema, which causes itchy and inflamed patches on the skin, can worsen in the monsoon humidity. Neem has been found to reduce inflammation and combat infections due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for soothing eczema flare-ups. Neem contains various phytocompounds, including flavonoids and azadiradione, known for their ability to reduce swelling and eliminate germs.3. Psoriasis, which leads to thick, red, scaly patches on the skin, can also fluctuate or worsen during the humid monsoon season. A study in India indicated that Neem leaf extract helped improve psoriasis symptoms. Neem is recognised for supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation, which may aid in healing the skin and minimising flare-ups. Additionally, Neem oil is noted for its wound-healing properties, making it useful for treating psoriasis topically.4. The increased humidity of the monsoon creates favourable conditions for fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and candidiasis. Neem possesses excellent antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that help inhibit fungal growth, promote healing, and mitigate soaking clothes, allergens from plants, and soaps can cause skin allergies or contact dermatitis, producing itchy red rashes. Neem has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which may help reduce allergic inflammation and itching associated with dermatitis. The application of Neem pastes or extracts to itchy rash areas may provide better relief and offer protection against the development of secondary short, Neem's antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties make it a treasured natural remedy for managing common monsoon-related skin issues.

Can adding Lemongrass stalks to green tea heal headaches?

Green tea and lemongrass both possess strong anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate headaches caused by muscle tension or sinus inflammation. Green tea contains catechins, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), known for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2010) confirmed that lemongrass essential oil reduces inflammation and swelling, making the combination effective for managing pain and pressure associated with headaches. Why lemongrass? Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fragrant herb known for its citrusy aroma and a wide range of medicinal properties. It contains essential oils like citral, limonene, and myrcene, which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and calming effects. Traditionally used in herbal teas and home remedies, lemongrass has long been praised in Ayurveda and folk medicine for its ability to relieve pain and tension. Reduces pain and inflammation One of the key ways lemongrass helps ease headaches is through its natural anti-inflammatory action. Studies published in The Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research show that lemongrass extracts can reduce inflammation and muscle tension, which are often underlying causes of tension headaches and migraines. The compound citral acts similarly to mild pain relievers, offering natural comfort without side effects. Stress related headaches Drinking lemongrass tea made by steeping fresh or dried stalks can promote relaxation and reduce stress-induced headaches. It works as a mild sedative, helping lower cortisol levels and calming the nervous system. This makes it especially effective for headaches caused by anxiety, fatigue, or lack of sleep. The soothing aroma itself contributes to mental calmness and clearer focus. Boosts circulation and detoxification Lemongrass also enhances blood circulation, which is essential for delivering oxygen to brain cells and relieving vascular headaches. Its detoxifying properties help clear toxins from the body that may trigger or worsen headaches. A well-functioning liver and digestive system, supported by lemongrass, also play an indirect role in reducing headache frequency. What studies say Lemongrass is a mild sedative that calms the nervous system, while green tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid known to improve mental focus and reduce anxiety. According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition (2007), L-theanine in green tea significantly lowers cortisol levels and improves relaxation without sedation. When used together, they target tension-related headaches by reducing mental and physical stress, a common trigger for headaches. Can't eat your food without snapping a picture first?
