Aloe Vera has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. It is commonly known for sunburn treatments, rash relief and fungicidal properties.[1] In addition, this miracle plant helps treat immune system diseases, anti-inflammatory diseases, menstrual cramps and digestive system disorders including irritable bowel syndrome. Aloe also holds moisture and adds flexibility to all seven layers of skin to slow down the aging process and lessen scarring from an injury.
Growing aloe is quite easy; try growing a plant in your house or back yard. Use a knife to peel the skin from the hearty leaves and apply the gel on to your skin. Make juice out of the pulp inside of the leaves to enhance digestive function.
Always consult with your physician before stopping or starting any medication.
