Neem Leaves Birth Control

Neem leaves have been used in traditional medicine for contraceptive purposes, particularly in Madagascar where women chew a handful of neem leaves every day to prevent pregnancies. In India, neem oil-based vaginal creams and suppositories are popular and are reported to be almost 100% effective against human sperm. Neem leaf tablets taken for one month have also shown to produce reversible male infertility without affecting sperm production or libido. Neem oil has been found to kill all sperm in five minutes when tested against human sperm, and neem extract at 1,000mg was able to kill all sperm in five minutes and required only 30 minutes at a lower, 250 mg level. Neem oil has also been taken internally by ascetics who wish to diminish their sexual desire.

A study has shown that neem is a powerful spermicidal agent, with human sperms becoming completely immobile within 30 seconds of contact with neem oil. When neem oil is applied inside the vagina before sexual intercourse, it successfully averts pregnancy. Regular usage of neem oil is a cheap, natural, and effective method to prevent pregnancy, causing no irritation or discomfort as chemical-based spermicidal foams do. Neem oil also doubles as a lubricant and offers added protection from sexually transmitted diseases.

In summary, neem leaves and oil have been used traditionally for contraceptive purposes, and scientific studies have supported their effectiveness as spermicidal agents. Neem oil can be applied inside the vagina before sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy, and regular usage is a cheap, natural, and effective method of contraception.
