Review on TheraTree Oleavine Neem Oil 12 Oz by Ryan Noble

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It pretty much smells like strong baked dry peanut skin

This is some strong aromatic stuff. It pretty much smells like strong baked dry peanut skin, with a light garlicly smell. Not so much as god awful: if you can stand smelling distilled vinegar for long periods of time (that stuff is way stronger) you should be ok with this.You just need a bit of getting used to.The smell aside, I've read this is some powerful panacea for every skin trouble you can ever run into: antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflamatory, deep relaxing warmth smothering oil, bug/insect repellent ( mosquito is all I cared for ), pain reliever, anti itch, powerful emollient ( extremely hydration that get's into the cracks of the driest skin ). I just took a hot shower and slap some neem oil mix on, and I could literally just fall asleep on my chair because I'm feeling so deeply relaxed.I actually got this for my eczema, and so far I'm very pleased with the effects I'm feeling. It immediately calmed down the itch, the dry, the red for a good 4 some hours before I need to reapply more on my skin. Need a few days of testing to see if the rashes disappear though- I've just received the ordered item today.--Eczema Blisters Update--OK. This is some miracle oil, INDEED! I've been really rubbing this stuff deeply on mixed with zinc oxide powder, on the soles of my foot daily (since I've got it) and so for I'm able to literally see a change for the best every morning I wake up. It dries up, scabs up wounds and open blisters, even for those spongy weeping tones (severe Eczema, a stage up from those tiny blisters) has nothing against Neem Oil. I generally don't see inflammation in the surrounding area anymore and I even find it satisfying to gently scrape off the dry dead patches to reveal normal skin. This even works better than those over the counter regular cortisone cream and equally as good as those high strength prescriptions one without getting the toxicity side effects from long term use. I'm expecting to see a full recovery in another 3 some days.
