Neem: Zero Waste Toothbrush
Channel: StoryConnective
Date: 08/02/2017

Chef turned farmer James Simpliciano of Simpli-Fresh Produce Farms shows us the many uses of the neem tree (azadirachta indica), from a soil amendment, to a toothbrush, and even soap!
You can find out more about James Simpliciano at Simpli-Fresh.com
Neem's fruits, seeds, oil, leaves, roots, & bark have been used for millennia for all sorts of things in addition to toothpaste & soap: medicine, pest control, cosmetics, and lubricants.
