Books about Neem:
In North America there are only three neem books published, two neem consumer books and one neem commercial book:
Book title: “NEEM – A Tree For Solving Global Problems” published by the National Academy Press in 1992 – commercial
Book title: “NEEM – The Ultimate Herb” by John Conrick, in 2001
Book title: “NEEM: Nature’s Healing Gift to Humanity”, by Klaus Ferlow, in 2015 To my knowledge there are 80 books about the neem tree published worldwide.
Conclusion:
In 1994 manufacturers in North America of herbal raw material did not know anything about the miraculous versatile neem tree and neither the public.
In the last several years a NEEM WAVE worldwide has taken place and even well known large Corporations around the Globe have been jumping on the bandwagon offering cosmetics and herbal personal care products with neem ingredients such as:
Costco, Colgate,Wal Mart, Sundari, Nature’s Way, New Roots Herbal, NOW FOODS, L’Oreal, Garnier, France, Dr. Hauschka, Germany, Avon, United Kingdom, A. Vogel, Switzerland, Shiseido, Japan, Furthermore you find a huge number of pages listing companies offering cosmetics and herbal personal neem products on the internet: Amazon, eBay and Alibaba and this is just the beginning!
