It may not smell the best but really like the results!

Yes, neem stinks. It always has. Always will. If you can't get past that, then move on to another treatment because neem is not going to start smelling any better. I've used it for several years and I have to admit that I don't care for the scent but it works so I'm willing to ignore the way it smells in lieu of results. However, the scent seems to dissipate after awhile and no one close to me (husband) has mentioned that I reek of old rotten onions so my scent masking with other oils seems to have worked. You can mask the scent with a strongly scented essential oil that is also useful for the same purpose as what you are using neem. For example, lavender is good for skin, peppermint is good for mouth care, rosemary for hair etc so mix in these essential oils to reduce the odor of neem without sacrificing it's efficacy. Now has good products of each. I use neem in toothpaste, deodorant, facial skin care, rashes, any skin issue, on finger and toenails to strength them, on scalp, and mixes with shampoo. Neem is useful in healing skin issues and creating/restoring the balance of the normal functions of your skin and related structures such as interior of mouth, scalp, nails and hair. It improved a friend's psoriasis on the leg, moderate degree of psoriasis and about 4-5 inches diameter. It didn't cure it but made it much better fairly soon as in 1-2 months of daily use. However, over time, that patch on her leg has almost disappeared to the degree that she believes long-term use of neem has helped restore her skin integrity. Mind you this was not immediate, ie took 6-8 months and she uses it regularly to maintain. I make no claims but do know this one case of neem helping psoriasis. It has helped reduce scalp itching and hair thinning for someone else I know, but frankly, she was a hot mess of stress after losing her husband (and stress can cause scalp/hair problems) but her scalp itching subsided and her hair thinning slowed after neem. It's one of my go-to products for any skin rash and I use it preventatively for general skin care. See ayurvedic information online re neem as they've been using neem for centuries. It's not a miracle cure, virtually nothing is, but it helps many issues and actually fixes some of them.

it really has a strong smell, so strong that you might wanna puke but you could tell its really pure neem oil!

Neem Oil is an oil that I try to always keep on hand. It is anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial. It is good for the skin. Although it does have a strong and unusual smell, this doesn't bother me personally...though for others, I could see how it might be a problem. It can also be used as a bug repellant, mixed with coconut oil or other carrier oil. There are also recipes online that can show one how to use it for their house plants to deter bugs, not that it kills bugs...but it affects their reproduction....don't quote me on this, just find out for yourself. I use it on cuts, just a little drop on the band-aid, not as harsh and stinging as alcohol, and does the job...wards off infection !! You know when you have a cut and it has developed a bit of itch...you know that is an infection forming....but neem has taken care of that every time....speeds along healing. Personally I have used it for piercings that haven't fully healed even after decades...wearing jewelry that isn't hypo-allergenic, or perhaps not really clean, causes the site to hurt...rub a little neem oil into it and the pain goes away and healing takes place. It can be used for your pets too....have used it for ear infections. This particular NOW brand seems to be as good as any I have purchased elsewhere in the past. Neem oil is dark, and clumps up and solidifies a bit with the temperature of the air, like coconut oil.

Stuff is super bitter. Doesn't work as well as was hoping to stop biting my nails (too oily), but the product itself is good.
