The Correct Technique of Boiling Neem Leaves
To prepare a neem water bath, you need to first procure some fresh neem leaves from a neighborhood tree.
Then you need to wash the leaves to get rid of all the dust and dirt stuck to their surface before dropping them in a big pot of water.
Once the water starts to boil, don't take it off immediately. Instead, let the heat leach out the medicinal compounds from the leaves for at least 3 - 5 more minutes. The water will turn slightly yellow when this happens and will give off a pungent odor.
Now you can take off the pot from the flames, sieve out the leaves, and use the water for taking bath by mixing it with cold water to get the right temperature.
