Neem leaves is one of the top teas that helps to support health and boost immunity generally a lot of people are not friendly with bitter foods but bitter foods are actually good for us especially for our liver health and general body immunity. Neem Tea popularly known as dogoyaro has been used for many years in managing a lot of ailments including fever although many people are not using the remedy for various reasons, may be because it is a herbal remedy or does not actually eliminate or manage severe cases of malaria. In chronic cases of malaria you will not have to depend completely on Neem leaves tea but for healthy individuals it can effectively prevent diseases at the earliest age and boost immunity in order to avoid disease and that is the purpose of this article I have actually used the Neem leaf tea at some points and found out that it is one of the immune boosting teas we should consume occasionally especially as it is naturally caffeine free.
Here are some of the top health benefits of Neem leaves especially when taken as tea.
1. Aids Digestion:
Most bitter foods support the production of digestive juice by the our stomach and Neem leaves is one of such teas. The tea aids digestion and that is exactly why occasionally taking Neem leaf tea will reduce cases of constipation, bloating and other gut related issues. If you suspect that your digestive system is slowing down, you can also prepare the tea to support your digestion.
2. Oral Health:
The tea also helps to destroy bacteria that cause oral problems, gum disease and bad breath, if you are suspecting or having oral problems, you can easily prepare it as tea and take, without adding any milk you don't need to add milk anytime you're taking it to help to destroy germs that cause oral problems.

5. Intestinal worms:
It is also good for reducing and killing off up some intestinal worms and parasites because it has antibacterial properties, antimicrobial properties and even antifungal properties so if you suspect that there are bacterias, parasites and or overgrowth of yeast and fungus drinking this tea can help to reduce their number and discourage their multiplying in number and then kill off some of the yeast as it does not even provide food for them due to its bitterness because they all thrive and feed on sugar.
6. Support Liver Health:
Our liver is the main organ responsible for metabolising fat and a lot of other activities including production of bile and several other jobs it does a lot and so sometimes when there is too much unhealthy fats or else in the diet and other factors including stress it is necessary to include bitter teas like meem tea as it will help to destroy some bacteria in the liver and also reduce inflammation generally and then help to burn off some of the fats or support the liver to burn off some of the fats.

10. Boosts Immunity
This is one of the top teas to embrace if you are suspecting low immunity. Feelings like coldness or fever symptomsare sings of low immunity, blood thickness, weaknes, pains. Some of the hidden pains and inflammations at that early stage could be dealt with by consuming this tea, to ward off a lot of these symptoms and strengthen your immunity. It is best to take this as a preventive measure to strengthen immunity rather than as a cure. When the disease or sickness is already on ground or has brought you down, tye tea alone may not be able to tackle it. Best to resolve it but when you suspect symptoms early symptoms is good to start taking the tea to Ward it off it is very effective at this stage.

How to Take Neem Tea
Get the fresh leaves and boil about 20 leaves in a pot till it shows light green colour
take in a glass cup after sieving.
You can also get the dried ground leaves in powder form, I usually find it more convenient to get this as it is easy to stock it and have it at home so anytime you want to take it you just put a pinch of it in a cup or half teaspoon in a cup, add freshly boiled water brew it and then it's ready for drinking or you can also just get the one that are in tea bags and use one tea bag in a cup of boiled water. No milk or sugar required or any sweetener.
Summary:
It is also important to state that there are some side effects even though it's a natural drink. Those who are pregnant women also should be careful especially during the first trimester they should also not take ir or seek their doctors advice. Do not take for too long a few days is okay and if symptoms persists after 3 days, better to see a doctor or seek other solutions.
