Neem teas are regularly used throughout the tropics to rid the body of intestinal worms (Singh, 1980).
There have been conflicting reports as to its effectiveness, but few who use neem for intestinal worms doubt the efficacy of neem. Neem leaf teas or capsules taken twice per day for one week is the usual method for eliminating these parasites from the body.
For childhood pinworms apply neem oil or cream to the anal opening for relief from itching.
One hour after taking aqueous leaf extracts or neem tea weak excitation and increased activity are seen, while decreased activity and lower muscular tone occur after five hours (Debelmas and Hache, 1976).
