I never knew aloe vera wasn't good for pregnant women and children under the age of 5. I actually use it as a laxative and also on my skin. Thanks for this information, happy new year in advance
@tutufaith Happy New Year buddy !!! have a great one... :)
I use alovera with my daughter's acne grains and it works well
I have learnt from your article, I didn't realise that it was not good to use for pregnant woman. I have always kept a plant and used it for any burns.
Wow, Nice..I have a aloevera plant in my home but I never tried the same. I need to check how to consume them..I'm sure their much be some process. If you know the process, please do let me know. My daughter really suffers from cold and cough frequently. I need to try this to boos her immune system. Thanks for sharing such a nice and informative article. Voted.
Indeed, one of the best herbal medicines! My sister (11 y/o) used to apply that clear white substance on her hair mixed with olive oil, and it worked wonders :)
As a homeopath, I absolutely love to use aloe vera! It has so many health benefits especially for skin. I've even used it as sunscreen before and to get rid of sunburns for example and it's very very effective. Especially when going to the Carribean, who needs anything when you have aloe vera :). Thanks for this awesome post!
Recently I found a post in fb, I think it might have been The Alternative Daily, but it was about Aloe Vera cleaning the air, and that we should all have a healthy plant indoors in our homes, for its oxygen. ¿¿ fb¿ so unable to refind. 😇
You can split the leaf open with your nail and apply to small cut or wound. Very useful for small children.....apply splayed leaf to closed eyes to cool and restore....any skin appreciates the gel. I regularly apply to pet wounds, it is there on the window sill, clean, cool and ready. No bad or chemical smell... absolute best thing for sun burn. Great stuff!!!
I grow and use aloe vera for long time. and I see so many benefits of it. its very spacıal herbal.
