I am a true believer in the power of Aloe Vera both in the form of a juice and a topical application. I have used it for years to contain the psoriasis from which I suffer. For me I drink about 4oz of pure Aloe juice mixed with a bit of cranberry juice every morning. Then I use either a gel or lotion of Aloe Vera on my face. The psoriasis that I have hit my eyelids and made them very itchy. This combination keeps it under control.
