Aloe Vera is a cactus plant that is very well known for its skin healing properties. The plant secretes a clear gel from its leaves that has multiple uses. I have listed twelve ways Aloe Vera can be useful in your life.
- It is soothing and can treat burns from hot tools, the oven, or sunburned skin.
- It can treat cuts due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, anti-bacteria, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties.
- All those “anti” properties above can also help with oral health such as bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.
- It can heal skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
- It helps with stretch marks by repairing the skin.
- It is a moisturizer. It is fast-absorbing and hydrates the skin well.
- It helps with the itchiness from insect bites
- It improves digestion when taken internally. It helps with issues such as constipation or diarrhea.
- It assists in detoxifying the body by absorbing toxins in the intestinal tract, which can speed up the body’s metabolism.
- It is high in vitamins and minerals and can naturally increase what the body is lacking.
- It not only helps repair dry and damaged hair, but also with building strength in the hair.
- It improves elasticity and has antioxidants to battle free radicals which slows the aging process.
