I've decided to write on Aloe Vera
because someone close to me told me they were allergic to Vitamin
E (last weeks health pick). This person shared that they used Aloe
Vera for healing of a scar and this is what got me more interested. Testimonies I have gotten from people, Vitamin E works better on
healing without leaving a scar than Aloe Vera does; but it is a great
alternative. For this week I found Aloe Vera has so many awesome ways
to heal. I had to do a Aloe Vera post for Beauty and for Health.
Aloe Vera originated in Africa and in
the West Indies. It has benefited man for over 4,000 years. It is
known for its natural healing and regenerative properties. In the
United States it is grown commercially in California, Florida, Texas
and certain green houses in Oklahoma. Aloe Vera has had different
names over the years: Greek Scientist called it “ The Universal
Panacea.” Egyptians called it “ The Plant of Immortality.” The
American Indians called it “ The Wand of Heaven.” Now it is also
called “ The Sun Plant ” or “ Lily of the Desert” or “The
Medicine Plant.”
Aloe Vera is a good as a toe nail
fungus remedy. The regular use of Aloe Vera helps grow healthy shiny
nails. Soaking or rubbing the feet with Aloe Vera can help reduce
growth of fungi. In a few months time it will help your over all
immune system.
For the skin Aloe Vera speeds up the
healing process. Aloe Vera is good for scrapes, burns, sun burns and bruised skin as well. It also works
well as a long lasting sun screen.
Aloe Vera is good for moisturizing the
face. It helps pimples disappear overnight. It also helps with rashes
and/or skin with discoloration.
For a hygiene issue that everyone has
at some point or another is bad breath. Some have used the actual
Aloe gel fresh from the plant. It is rubbed on the gums and the
teeth. It also helps with canker sores and boils in the mouth.
Another pesky problem for many is dandruff. Some have applied the gel
directly to their scalp and over time they have seen the dandruff
disappear completely.
If your hair is thinning or missing
Aloe Vera will bring it back. It takes about up to a month to see
results. It has been reported that the new hair growth will be black
in color.
Extra Picky Tip ~ *Aloe Vera should be
the Barbadensis Miller Species for maximum benefit *
