Neem leaves, also known as Indian Lilac, have naturally occurring anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to relieve itching and kill germs associated with the measles virus. Neem leaves can be crushed up in the food processor and applied directly to a measles rash. Or they can be boiled in water, and the water can be dabbed on the rash. Neem essential oil is available and can easily be applied topically to treat problematic skin areas.
