What is Neem Oil?
Neem oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the neem tree’s fruit. Neem trees grow in India and other parts of Asia. Neem oil is golden in color, has an unpleasant taste and odour (which is why neem oil repels mosquitoes) and is used for many purposes:
·
Neem oil is
anti-fungal
·
Neem oil is
antibacterial and antimicrobial
·
Neem oil is
analgesic
·
Neem oil is
anti-inflammatory
· Neem oil is insecticide, it repels and kills insects and bugs, that is why neem oil is used for lice.
Neem oil has many complex active ingredients. Rather than being simple poisons, those ingredients are similar to the hormones that insects produce. Insects take up the neem oil ingredients just like natural hormones.
Neem enters the system and blocks the real hormones from working properly. Insects “forget” to eat, to mate, or they stop laying eggs. Some forget that they can fly. If eggs are produced they don’t hatch, or the larvae don’t moult.
Obviously insects that are too confused to eat or breed will not survive. The population eventually plummets, and they disappear. The cycle is broken.
How precisely it works is difficult for scientists to find out. There are too many different active substances in neem oil and every insect species reacts differently to neem insecticide.
Neem oil does not kill beneficial insects for example butterflies, ladybugs, earthworms & bees. Only chewing and sucking insects are affected. It is certainly fascinating.
Like real hormones, neem works at very low concentrations, in the parts per million range. A little neem oil goes a long way.
But this is not something that happens over night. People spray neem oil as an insecticide and expect everything to die instantly, because that’s what they are used to from chemical poisons. When that does not happen they conclude neem does not work.
It does work! Give it time to work.
It’s a much smarter way to deal with insect pests than to just kill everything.

If you are tasked with taking care of horses, you know that in spite of their strength and large size that horses are very sensitive creatures. They can get irritated rather easily by the elements or external forces like flying pests, parasites, bacteria and fungus which is why it’s important to keep them happy and comfortable.
When your horse is suffering from an ailment, the problem often arises of what you should use to treat your horse and whether the ingredients of a product contain chemicals that will bring about side effects that are worse than the problem you’re trying to solve.
There is a shift in the industry when it comes to using more natural products that are not only more environmentally-friendly but also animal friendly and one such product that provides a multitude of benefits is CALRO NEEM Oil Products for horses.
Neem’s antiseptic and healing properties make it an excellent first aid for minor cuts and abrasions. Neem has also been shown to be an excellent wound healer. Neem has the ability to increase vascular permeability by increasing the blood flow and by helping the body to rapidly create collagen fibers to close wounds. Healing will be significantly accelerated and scarring reduced by using neem to protect the injured skin.
Neem oil also serves as a natural pain reliever for horses who are bothered by the itchy bites by applying the substance onto open cuts and sores, so if your horse has been trying to rub themselves and have broken the skin, you can apply the oil straight onto the open area.
With neem oil having natural sterilization and antiseptic qualities, the substance will clean the wound, put bleeding to a halt, protect against infection and promote the healing process.
Once your horse has been bitten and is itchy, Neem Oil can be applied to the itchy and rubbed areas. Neem helps stop further biting, deeply moisturizes and soothes the skin, and encourages rapid hair re-growth. Neem Oil has repellent properties and has been scientifically tested for use against midges, flies, ticks and other insects.

Pure cold pressed neem oil is just
amazing for soothing bad places where your horse has rubbed, it keeps the
midges at bay whilst the bad places heal.
It is so safe to use you can put it onto the sore areas, as this will heal
and sooth and keep the midges away. Part the mane and pour a few drops onto the
skin and massage in. With the tail, rub
the oil into the top part and massage well, they love this! Once your horse has healed but is still prone
to the midges we recommend applying it every other day as and when you think
your horse needs it. In the summer you
can go for maybe 3 – 4 days before you have to re-apply the neem oil.
Open Wounds
You can use the Neem Oil Concentrate on open wounds with
amazing results. Horses hate to have
cuts and wounds washed out, so all you need is Neem Oil Concentrate, as this
will clean the infection, keep flies at bay, sooth and heal all at the same
time. Neem is a truly great healer!
Rain scald
If your horse ever gets rain scald, we highly
recommend neem oil and neem shampoo, both are amazing at clearing and healing
this skin condition.
Mud Fever
Apply the neat neem oil directly onto
the bad areas; this gave instant relief as neem is anti-inflammatory and
anti-viral. Apply this daily, eventually
going to every other day. After a few days the scabs would start to lift off
and there will be beautiful clean flesh underneath.
