Bitter plants tend to be valuable for liver health and liver support. But don’t worry, that bitter neem taste doesn’t need to be something you directly taste to receive the benefits. More on that later.
Neem has been called “the first line of defense” for your immune system for a few reasons.
Neem is specifically beneficial for signaling the body to release macrophage and cytokine cells. These are specific immune cells that search, seek, missile and destroy dangerous microorganisms in the body. These are highly trained and targeted immune cells that travel in the blood and lymphatic system.
These cells all work directly with your lymphatic and immune system. The healthier the response of the macrophage and cytokine response in the body, the more able you will be to handle anything negative thrown at you, from a strong immune line of defense.

Neem Builds A Stronger Immune System:
Because neem has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties as well as blood purifying properties it travels through your blood to purify it and remove threats that could be dirtying up your blood. By doing this your blood is healthier, stronger and more immune to attacks of any kind.
Beyond cleaning the blood and pathogens in the blood neem also keeps the body cool. It has cooling properties to the body when it is too hot, it’s adaptive in this way. An internal cooling agent.
Neem being an anti-inflammatory agent pairs with that body cooling effect. Inflammation causes heat, swelling, pain or stiffness. That is all excess inflammation (heat) in the body that neem can help to release.

It tastes amazing and helps the lungs, immunity and contains a rich tree sap resin known as “sangre de grado” or “Dragons blood” which is a key sap in building collagen bonds in the body.
The best part about it is that neem is a bitter tasting herb, so we took that (which I don’t like to stomach personally, and I can stomach a lot) and mixed it with other delicious yet medicinal botanicals like lemongrass, mint, cinnamon so that it would mask the favor, yet you’d still get all the benefits.
