Resumen
Global health and medical practice seek to merge alternative medicine with evidence-based medicine for a better
understanding of the metabolic process and its effects in the human body. An example is the use of complementary medicine like phytotherapy. Azadirachta indica (Neem), a tree originally from India and Myanmar,
called by many “The village pharmacy” or “Divine tree” because of its many health properties. In recent times,
Neem-derived extracts have been shown to work from anywhere from insect repellent, to supplements to lower
inflammation, diabetic control, and even to combat cancer. Herein, we state the health benefits found in diverse
compounds and extracts derived from Neem, highlighting the mechanisms and pathways in which Neem
compounds produce their effects, while warning that the improper and unstandardized conditions to produce
extracts can lead to health issues, particularly certain compounds might have damaging effects on the liver and
kidneys.
