We often hear our parents and grandparents talk about the medicinal values of these leaves and advise us to consume them. Kids are cajoled to gulp down drinks made of neem leaves. Let’s discuss the several benefits associated with consuming neem leaves on an empty stomach.

Keep the gut system free from germs​

One of the major benefits of consuming healthy leaves of neem on an empty stomach is that it protects the gut system and the alimentary canal from pathogens. Our gut is prone to several infections these days because of the lifestyle we lead, the food we consume, and the random eating and drinking habits we follow. Consuming something that is naturally grown and has potential health benefits sometimes works much better
