Śalāṭa (शलाट) refers to the “twigs (of a tree)”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—According to the Kāśyapasaṃhitā (8.25), “An ointment-cum-nasal medication, prepared with a paste of Śiriṣa bark, Trikaṭu, Vacā, Rambhā, one khārī (measure) of the shell of Karañja, Vyoṣa mixed with water and applied with the twig of the neem tree (nimba-śalāṭa). Neem is reckoned for its anti-bacterial properties, and hence chances of infection are thwarted by using its twig to apply medication”.
