Among the billions of plant allies that have ever been used by the human race, there are few that are as revered and honored as the neem tree. This hardy, drought-loving tree is known to have been used for so many different things that a list of all the ways it can and has been used to aid humankind could easily fill dozens of pages. Suffice it to say that every part of the neem tree is used as food, fodder, medicine, and shelter. It has also been used for building and making many useful things, not least of which are deep-seated spiritual and cultural traditions.

Ancient History of Neem

It is often said that neem is native to the Indian subcontinent, which encompasses the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, but its earliest origins actually begin with the legend of the sunken Dravidian island civilization known as Kumari Kandam or Lemuria some 50,000 years before Christ. Known as nimba in ancient Sanskrit, the neem tree has always been a vitally important plant to East Indian cultures. The Hindu Vedas suggest the neem tree was the creation of a sublime deity whose love and compassion for human life was manifested in a single drop of heavenly elixir from which the miracle tree grew. This wondrous tree not only grew where other trees and plants would not, but every single part of it was enormously useful to humans, animals, and the earth itself.

Siddha medicine, often referred to as Tamil medicine, eventually developed into what we know as Ayurvedawhich is among the oldest known medical systems in the world. Nimba is so ancient that it can be said that the very roots of every branch of natural and allopathic medicine known to man are deeply and ritually entwined with those of the sacred neem tree. It has even been suggested that many bodhisattvas, including the Buddha, utilized the divine shade of the neem tree to achieve enlightenment.

After hearing such a glowing description of neem, you might almost expect it to simply materialize out of thin air and shimmer like the spectral visage of Devi, mother of Shiva. However, unless you sit under a neem tree and meditate until you reach enlightenment, youre more likely to see a simple but attractive tree that in some regions of the world is so prolific that it is considered a weed. Because of neems versatility, astounding medicinal properties, and ability to grow in the most desolate of places, the tree was spread far and wide. As people moved, so did the neem tree. It traveled by way of land and sea through ancient trade routes for thousands and thousands of years. Today, the ancient neem tree can be found growing in more than thirty countries.

Botanists refer to neem by its Latin name, Azadirachta in dica , which was derived from the Persian words azad , which means free,and dirakht , which means tree, to describe what the local people thought of as the free tree of India. Once youve seen a mature neem tree, its easy to recognize that this freely giving tree belongs to the Meliaceae, or mahogany, family, which contains roughly fifty-three genera and upward of six hundred species of flowering trees, shrubs, and a few herbaceous plants. Many resources suggest that there are other species of neem that have different botanical names, but my in-depth research into this suggests that all other Latin names used for neem come from an earlier era of botanical nomenclature.
