How To Consume: While neem leaves are beneficial, consuming them at a specific time enhances their effects. Chewing a few neem leaves with water on an empty stomach after brushing your teeth in the morning yields optimal results. Tender leaves are more effective. Some may find the bitter taste unpalatable. Instead of chewing, they can blend the leaves into a juice. If that's difficult, swallowing neem oil without letting it touch the tongue is another option. Alternatively, dry neem leaves in the shade, powder them, and consume. Neem leaves can also be boiled in water to make a tea. However, individuals already on diabetes medication should consult their doctor before incorporating neem leaves, as medication adjustments might be necessary.
