What is Neem?

Neem is the only patented blood purifier in the world. It is very bitter and enhances the liver. The enhanced liver would work better and hence cleanse the blood flowing through it better. Neem would purify the blood passing through the liver. It is aptly called a “blood purifier”. In Ayurveda (the Indian science of traditional healing), it is one of the most highly regarded blood purifying herbs.

What is blood purification?

The concept of blood purification is somewhat new to modern medicine. However, it is central to a holistic treatment paradigm. Purified blood would wash and soothe the internal organs. It has a very powerful health promoting effect. Since toxins are viewed as the cause of all illness, blood purification is central in all modalities of traditional healing.

Which organ needs neem most?

The amazing liver is the largest internal organ of the body. It is the seat of metabolism. It is a vital organ that can cleanse the inner part of your body of toxins. It turns fat-soluble toxins into harmless water-soluble by-products that could be easily washed out by the kidneys as urine.

In Ayurveda, the liver is seen as a bitter organ. All things that pass through it are made bitter. A major by-product of the liver is bile which is indeed very bitter. It is believed that naturally occurring bitters can enhance the liver.

Why detoxification?

Detoxification is a necessity today due to our increasingly toxic modern lifestyles. We accumulate a lot of toxins in our daily living. An average person stores between 5 to 25 pounds of waste in the body and roughly 4 pounds of bacteria in the colon. Our food is highly processed with artificial colouring, flavouring and preservatives. Our air and waters are polluted. As a result, the liver is overstressed due to the overwhelming amount of toxins. This can lead to various mild to serious ailments.

How is BITREEN® different from all the other neem products?

BITREEN^® is the first and only standardised neem extract. Standardised extracts are far superior to non-standardised extracts. Standardisation is a standard measure of neem’s quality and activity.

How can I benefit from standardised neem extract?

With standardised neem extract you are assured of getting a potent and guaranteed quantity from BITREEN^® in dose after dose. It will be absolutely consistent from batch to batch and always containing the same amount of neem extract. Non-standardised neem extracts cannot claim a consistent percentage of activity in every dose because their potency and effect may vary.

Neem not only kills some infective organisms directly but also boosts the immune response on several levels.

How BITREEN ® can help in blood purification?

All elimination of toxins must go through the liver, which is the largest organ in the body. The liver is the organ that can do blood purification. Toxins accumulated over the years eg: nitrites, nitrates and the sulphites normally get trapped and stored in the body as fat-soluble toxins. BITREEN^® enhances the liver to work better by hydrolyzing the fat compounds of toxins and converting it to more water-soluble compounds that can come out through the sweat and urination. This purifies and cleanses blood.

It is self-limiting and will usually resolve by itself. It is called a ‘Healing Crisis’. This happens as the enhanced liver works to throw out old and impacted toxins.

The toxins would usually leave the body by the channel of least resistance. This usually results in a flaring up of the very symptoms that you are attempting to treat. Your acne may flare up. Your eczema will be reactivated. Your rash may become red and itchy. Your sinus may act up. All these are signs that BITREEN^® is working.

Your faeces would be more pungent and deeper in colour.

Although you may get loose stools, there would be no diarrhoea. All these are signs of deep cleansing. As your liver is enhanced, your metabolism will be cranked up. As your metabolism is enhanced, you will feel better, have more energy and even sleep better.
