Nime
Were you looking for information about Neem? Nime is a common misspelling of neem.
Neem is an herbal supplement claimed to provide numerous health benefits. It is believed that the plant may have antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and contraceptive effects (although more research is needed to confirm these findings). Since some people may be more likely to experience problems due to dietary supplements, you should talk with your healthcare provider prior to taking neem medicinally if you are pregnant, have an autoimmune disease, or have had an organ transplant.
