Banyan Botanicals Neem Powder- Certified Organic 1/2 Pound AD

Azadirachtin is so repulsive to insects that they would rather starve to death than touch anything with traces of neem. Another neem compound is called salannin and it’s equally as effective of a repellent. In a few studies, it’s even been proven even more effective at repelling biting insects than those repellents containing the chemical concoction of DEET. Neem also has many moisturizing properties and helps get rid of excess dryness and scaling. It helps soothe irritated skin. The anti-bacterial properties of neem prevent development of any further skin infection. Because Diatomaceous Earth can by very drying, Neem helps protect your pet from excess dry skin. I can not rave about this product enough. I had an INFESTATION. It was horrid. I foster cats so I always have several and one of our new fosters brought in fleas. They quickly spread to our 6 cats and 3 dogs and we're everywhere. You could see them jumping in the air and 2 of the animals were allergic so they bit and scratched at themselves raw to the point of severe hair loss. Anyone who had had fleas know they reproduce quickly and before you know it it gets put of control. If you flea bomb the house and bathe the animals and wash up everything and miss one of then they are back angrier then ever the next week. I became desperate and found this recipe and followed it and I am happy to say we have been flea free!!! I got all the products off of amazon. Here is the recipe. 1 cup Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth 1/2 cup Neem Powder 1/2 cup Yarrow Powder 20 Drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil *Leave out the essential oil if using for cats* Directions: Mix all ingredients together and put in a shaker top container like an empty baby powder bottle or salt shaker Apply in a well ventilated area or outside, try not to let your pet inhale it Apply from head to tail along your pets spine in dry conditions. Brush your pets fur going the opposite direction so the powder comes in contact with the skin. Avoid the eyes and nose. Rub the powder on the belly and legs. Try to get the flea powder on as much skin as you can. I also found the fleas seem to like the tail, the area right above the tail and the belly/groin area so I made sure to pay extra attention to those areas to get them well covered. How often to apply flea powder? To use this as a general repellent (with no serious flea infestation), applying once a month during active flea season (end of spring/summer) is sufficient. If the pet gets a bath or gets wet, it will need to be reapplied. If you have a flea infestation: You will need to apply more often, depending on how bad of an infestation you are dealing with. I applied every day until I saw no more traces of fleas (now I’m just using it as maintenance). Some are successful with applying as little as once a week, but others need it more often – it just depends on the level of infestation. Also remember to reapply if your pet gets wet (important!). If you have a flea infestation, you will also need to apply this flea powder to your floors, windowsills, door sills, pet bedding, sofa, etc. Focus your efforts where your pet spends the most amount of time, since fleas and their eggs will be the most concentrated in those areas. Just apply a light dusting to the areas in your house and leave it there overnight. Vacuum in the morning or sometime the next day. Do this once a week for 4 weeks if you have a flea infestation. If you got through all this and you are like me and had nothing to lose and are ready to set your house on fire and cut your losses then please try this. I was desperate and felt so sorry for my animals and this was a miracle. Good luck everyone!!

For those who are new to neem, the taste of product may be off-putting, as it is incredibly bitter. HOWEVER, I’ve tried several other neem products before (in various forms), and this one truly is the best in terms of efficacy. Though there are many benefits to neem, I find the most noticeable results on my skin - my complexion is clear & glowing after just a couple of weeks! I usually just add the it to a cup of water, and chug it down - as I said before, the taste can be intense, but I find this to be the most affective way. Plus, the taste is so strong, it can really overpower anything else you may add it to (e.g. juice or smoothie). But honestly, whatever you can to do make it more manageable, do it! Also, the value for this product is really good. As long as you stick to the serving size (I find you don’t need any more), one bag can last you almost 3/4 of the year! If anything I said previously wasn’t an indication, I highly recommend this product!

This powder is very bitter, I take half tea spoon for a while mix with warm water, very cooling herb, it helps me cure sore throat. I take it with Turmeric supplement pill, suppose to detoxify your body. keep it in fridge for freshness.

Very good product. I've been using this for the past 4 years and it makes a huge difference. If you have any stomach issues it will clear them up. The smell is very bitter. However, the more you take it the more you get used to it. I would recommend to ease the swallow to mix with juice, either orange juice or homemade juice for a better taste. If you don't, it will taste bitter. Mix with juice or even tea. This will make it easier to swallow. It will give you more energy towards exercise along with relieve pain for working out.

Not only did my product arrive a day earlier than expected (came in 1day) the company has been awesome. From the nice packaging and labeling, to sending an ebook, and a little note/email after my package arrived, a lot of vendors on Amazon (maybe Amazon themselves) could learn how to do biz from these guys. I'm using this for Scabies that I got and I def went over the recommended dosage. (Took about 5 large capsules that I made -size 000) , but I could feel it working right away (they were coming out of their burrows and I could feel them in my ear). They say this stops their reproduction so I'm hoping this is the last battle, but I will take even after Scabies is gone.By night time I no longer felt them in my feet. I also made a coconut oil/neem powder solution to put on my body at bedtime (took more pills and DE) and woke up feeling like much more of the battle had been won in less than one day.I also was sneezing a bit so I felt like I was getting a cold and this bad boy made me sleep like a baby for about an hour after I took my first 4to 5 caosules so I know it was doing something good (I'm a light sleeper). That night I also slept so much better than previously and woke up feeling great (better and healthier than I had in along time). I am putting this in empty capsules (000 size-about 5 capsules twice a day -morning and night).
