Viral Skin Diseases

Herpes (cold sores)
      Test in Germany show that neem extracts are toxic to the herpes virus and can quickly heal cold sores. Tests on many different viruses seem to indicate neem compounds surround viruses and prevent them from infecting cells. Preventing the viruses from infecting new cells effectively stops further damage to the tissues. At the first indication of an eruption, drink one cup of neem tea made from ten drops of neem tincture in your favorite tea, preferably after a meal.

Follow the tea with hourly topical application of a neem tincture or neem-based cream to the affected area. Continue both oral and topical applications until the eruption has peaked. Then continue with only the topical cream applications until the sore has healed.

Chickenpox
       
Neem, a proven anti-viral agent, can stop viruses like chickenpox from infecting healthy cells thereby limiting damage to the skin. Water extracts of neem leaf have reduced pock formation and actually destroys the virus in as little as five minutes. Neem also alleviates the main problems associated with chickenpox - the intense itching and scarring. Applying a neem-based cream on each of the sores will lessen the itching, increase healing and prevent scarring. Cleansing the affected skin with neem soap and soaking in water with two tablespoons of neem lotion added will soothe the skin and promote healing. Adults with chickenpox can supplement the treatment by taking neem capsules or tincture until the infection has passed.

Warts
      Warts usually dry up and fall off when treated with neem oil. Neem absorbs viruses and prevents them from infecting cells. Since warts are caused by viruses, neem is effective in treating them. To treat the wart, cover it with the gauze portion of a small bandage soaked with neem leaf extract or a neem-based cream. Change the bandage and reapply daily. Results should be apparent in about one week.
