Ithonga remedy

Neem — the honest bitter

Neem is bitter, and that bitterness has work to do. Bitter plants wake up digestion and support the liver's ordinary clearing work, which is why neem has been used for generations in skin and cleansing routines.

We steep and dry it strong rather than softening it into something pleasant. It is meant to taste like medicine.

Clearer skin

Traditionally used where breakouts and congestion follow a sluggish gut.

Digestive bitters

Best taken with food; it prompts the body to prepare for a meal.

Cleansing courses

Used in short courses of two to four weeks rather than endlessly.

How to use it

One capsule with your main meal, or a cup of neem and lemongrass tea in the evening. Drink plenty of water alongside. Not for use in pregnancy.
