Neem — known in Sanskrit as Nimba — is one of the most extensively referenced herbs in the Charaka Samhita and across the Ayurvedic canon. Generations of households have turned to Neem as a daily-use herb for cleanliness, skin care and scalp care, owing to its gentle yet uncompromising action.
Karanja (Pongamia pinnata) is the classical companion to Neem. Where Neem cleanses, Karanja soothes — and the two together form a pairing that the classical texts return to again and again, especially for scalp and hair preparations meant for regular use.
This same Nimba-Karanja pairing is gentle enough for the whole family — adults and children alike. It is the herbal foundation of the Ayurjeet Anti-Lice Care Kit, a shampoo-and-oil duo designed to bring classical family care into the modern bathroom shelf.
