Neem.
Brief Introduction: Nearly every part of this tall, shade-giving East Indian evergreen tree has been used medicinally. It has compound leaves and bears small white flowers and olive-shaped fruit. Neem is widely cultivated in tropical regions of Asia and other parts of the world for its aromatic seed oil, gum, and bitter-tasting bark. It is also valued for its wood.
Nettle.
Brief Introduction: This flowering perennial populates wastelands in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Upon contact with skin or other surfaces, bristles on the dark green leaves spring into action something like tiny hypodermic needles, and cause quite a sting. Medicinal preparations made from the leaves, stems, and roots of nettle are used both internally and externally. Some of the information for nettle also applies to the small stinging nettle Urtica urens, and hybrids thereof. It is used for controlling female discomforts such as heavy menstrual periods and vaginal infections and boosting milk output in nursing mothers, as a hay fever remedy, diuretic, and for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Nettle lotions and teas are used to stop bleeding, help wounds heal, encourage hair growth, and lessen nerve pains and rheumatic aches.
