It is that time of year for burns, scrapes and bobo's. Aloe has so many uses!
Aloe Vera is used in cosmetics, medicinally, and herbally. It has soothing and healing properties.
I use it for burns, scrapes,minor wounds, annoying acne, and rosacea. I use it on my face to keep my skin clear and to keep my rosacea from flaring up and it works! For my son I put it on his bobo's or any burns and it's gentle and works better than anything else. It doesnt dry your skin out either. There are also aloe vera gel capsules (sold in stores over the counter in the dietary supplement aisle) for helping with stomach problems and helps with digestion. The plant is fairly cheap to buy though, less than $5. Aloe plant is also easy to grow and maintain. Its an indoor and outdoor plant. Please post any other uses for aloe and share. Aloe is safe and gentle to use for so many things.
Ms. Cosmetologist,
ReplyDeleteCould you please explain exactly how to use this plant for the remedies that you mentioned?
Thanks :)
You snip off a piece of the plant, split it open by the seam and the aloe is on the inside. Only snip off what you will use though. Apply the aloe with a cotton swab on affected area, or just rub the open plant on the affected area.
