Can Neem be used in case of a snake bite?
Neem has the antidote property as it contains certain chemicals that detoxify snake venom proteins. Neem stops the activity of an enzyme present in snake venom that causes neurotoxicity (toxic effect on nerves), myotoxicity (toxic effect on muscles), cardiotoxicity (toxic effect on heart), hemorrhagic, anticoagulant effects and various inflammatory disorders. A decoction/paste from the flower, bark, leaf or fruit of Neem is prepared and given orally in such cases[19][20][21].
