DOES NEEM OIL KILL SCABIES?


The answer is NO, neem oil does not kill the scabies mites; but, one of the active components of the neem oil, shown to disrupt the reproductive system, by disturbing the mites hormones in laboratory tests; making it harder for them to mate and lay eggs.

In a recent Indian study, They reached a conclusion that a paste made up of neem oil and turmeric powder had a 97% cure rate over three to fifteen days. Neem is a sacred tree in India, they refer to it as  “village pharmacy”; Indiens believe that this home remedy treatment could cure many diseases and ailments.

Neem oil is also an excellent solution if you’re having problems with insects, mites, or fungi…

 PS: 

We conclude from the above, that neem oil creates a hormonal imbalance in the scabies reproduction system, which prevents laying new eggs, and therefore their numbers decrease with time; So, neem oil does not kill scabies mites directly.
