Malaysia and 
Pakistan, growing in 
tropical and semi-tropical regions. Other vernacular names include Neem (

Muarubaini (
Swahili), which means 
the tree of the 40, as it is said to treat 40 different diseases.
This is the 'Sacred Tree'. The tree loved beyond all others. This is the "Tree of Life".
The Neem tree has long been the prevention of malaria in Africa.  It acts a disinfectant for the liver, where malaria develops.  In the presence of the Neem, malaria is not given the opportunity to develop and is ultimately broken down.  The Neem is the most common tree in West Africa and a branch with some leaves is readily available to boil as tea.  It is suggested that it is taken once a week, as excess can weaken the liver.
Doctors will say that there is no vaccination for the disease, but actually there does exist a homeopathic vaccination.   Newton Labs has tincture that should be taken at least one month before travel.....
If you should get the disease, there is a Chinese herb called artesunate, also readily available at most pharmacists in West Africa.
