Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Neem (Azadirachta indica) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in India, for a variety of infectious diseases and skin conditions. In Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, neem is sometimes listed as a remedy for conditions with symptoms resembling those of gonorrhea, such as urethral discharge and genital sores. The plant’s leaves, bark, and oil are used for their purported antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, scientific studies specifically evaluating neem’s efficacy against Neisseria gonorrhoeae (the causative agent of gonorrhea) are extremely limited and mostly in vitro, with inconclusive or weak results. The traditional use appears to be based more on neem’s general reputation as an antimicrobial rather than on clinical evidence of its effectiveness for gonorrhea. Modern clinical trials or well-designed studies in humans are lacking, and mainstream medical guidelines do not recognize neem as a treatment for gonorrhea. In summary, the use of neem for gonorrhea is primarily rooted in traditional practices with only minimal supporting evidence and no scientific validation for this specific indication.
