Aloe Vera: Your First Aid Plant


            House plants are a great for adding a bit of character and life into your home.  They also cleanse the air and convert the carbon dioxide you exhale into oxygen you inhale. But Aloe Vera is more than just a house plant, it has medicinal properties. This succulent plant can be used to help treat a number of issues when it is applied externally.  Some believe it can even have health benefits when taken internally.  I personally have not made the move to digesting aloe but I use it for a number of skin issues.

Below are a number of the benefits of Aloe Vera
1.      Aloe Vera is great for soothing and reducing pain from burns and sunburns and helps the skin heal.
2.      Aloe Vera helps cuts heal.
3.      Aloe Vera helps reduce scars.
4.      Aloe Vera reduces inflammation when applied to an injury, cut, or burn.
5.      Aloe Vera helps cells regenerate.
6.      Aloe Vera hydrates you skin.
7.      When digested Aloe Vera reduces constipation.
8.      Some research suggests that when Aloe Vera is digested it helps reduce cholesterol.
9.      Some research suggests that when Aloe Vera is digested it helps lower blood sugar.
Why don’t you consider bringing home a Aloe Vera plant too.
