The Neem Queen on Mar 29th 2016
What is Neem Bark Powder? How do I use Neem Bark Powder? And what are the benefits of Neem Bark Powder? These are all questions that come up when we promote our organic, fresh ground neem bark powder and wanted to outline what it is, how you can use it and how you will benefit from adding Neem Bark Powder into your daily routine.
What is Neem Bark Powder?
Neem bark is a common ingredient in traditional medicine throughout India and southeast Asia. The neem tree is a 
large evergreen tree that grows in tropical and subtropical climates in India, southeast Asia, the Middle East, and eastern Africa. The bark of the neem tree is dried, ground into a powder, and used as a topical or oral medicine for a wide variety of ailments. While clinical data on the effectiveness of neem bark is lacking, preliminary trials show tentative support for traditional claims of the bark's antibacterial, anti-fungal, insecticidal, and spermicidal properties. Neem bark extract is a popular component of alternative medicine systems across the world. Shop for Neem Bark Powder.
How do I use Neem Bark Powder?
Neem bark powder is probably a better immune system booster and analgesic than the leaf -- and ongoing studies show that it's better for all kinds of tummy troubles. We put about a teaspoon in our coffee for a fresh "New Orleans" chicory taste. It's not quite as bitter as the leaf so it can be sprinkled on dog food for the same benefits. Neem Leaf & Neem Bark have historically been used in several skin care and hygiene products, and their properties have been well researched. Neem Bark Powder can be used for internal supplementation, Oral care, i.e. toothpastes, toothpowders and gum pastes, used on pets for oral care or sprinkled on their fur to help repel fleas and much more. If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or lactating, it is advised that you do not consume Neem Bark Powder.
Internal supplementation
The typical rate of usage is 1/8 teaspoon of ground neem bark per 10 pounds twice a day for 30 days, then back down to one dose a day after that. That means a 12-pound Shih-Tzu would get an eighth of a teaspoon, a 40-pound Shar-Pei w
ould get a half-teaspoon and a 120-pound Rottie would get 1.5 teaspoons. Some herbalists believe that patients should take a break every weekend or one week a month.
We typically melt one cup of either peanut butter or Velveeta with a cup of water, then add one cup of neem bark and feed each dog its recommended dose -- they'll literally line up for these treats!
If you would rather use Organic Neem Capsules than neem bark powder, a dog that weighs less than 50 pounds should have one capsule every other day. Dogs over 50 pounds can handle one capsule daily.
Oral Care
For oral care in pets, try mixing equal amounts of neem bark and peanut butter, then brushing or rubbing it on their teeth. We have found that our older Labrador has brighter white teeth since rubbing this on her teeth and gums.
For oral are in humans, you can try sprinkling the neem powder on your toothbrush, with or without toothpaste and brushing. We've also created three different great flavoring Neem Bark Toothpowders that take all the extra work out of the equation. All our tooth powders are fluoride free and contain no harsh chemicals.
