Medicinal plants have been a crucial component in the fight against disease in human culture since the dawn of civilization. Azadirachta Indica, also referred to as Melia azedarach, A. juss, has thrived. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 4000 years due to its medicinal properties. Numerous phytoconstituents, including nimbin, salanin, meliacin, azdirachtin, gallic acid, quercetin, gedunin, and catechin, are present in Azadirachta Indica. Each category of phytoconstituents offers us a unique chemical that is used to treat a variety of illnesses, including bacterial infections, malaria, cancer, intestinal worms, asthma, skin ulcers, diabetes, allergies, and much more.
