Is Neem A New Way Of Birth Control?

To answer that question, is neem a new way of birth control, the answer is no. Neem has been used by many people over in India for thousands of years. It is a safer, more effective and inexpensive way to keep unwanted pregnancies from happening. The neem tree has been through many tests over the years and has been proven to be as good as or even better than spermicides or birth control pills. Did I mention that neem can be used by women and men?

But how can it actually be used as a contraceptive? For women, a therapeutic amount of neem oil made into a cream is better and to use intravaginally before or after intercourse which has been found to be one of the best alternatives. The way neem works is that it doesn't change or alter the hormones in the body but rather acts as a spermicide and can kill the sperm within 30 seconds and says effective for four to five hours after application. Which is better than other spermicides that have to be reapplied ever hour or so.

Another benefit about neem you probably don't know is that neem is a very powerful anti-microbial. Which means that it can be effective against several sexual transmitted diseases. There are still studies being done on this but the results are looking really good.

The way that men can use neem as a form of contraceptive is the use of neem leaf oil or neem seed oil in capsule everyday for six weeks. After the six weeks they were just about 100% effective and can stay effective for as long as the capsule is taken. If the mind changes and wants a pregnancy, stop taking the capsule and in about the same time, six weeks, for the effect to wear off without any side effects. By taking these capsules men have reported that none of them had any loss of sperm production or lowered libido. The way neem works with men is it slows the action of the sperm so they can't reach the egg to fertilize it.
