Aloe Vera: Anti-Bacteria, Anti-Inflammation, & Pro-Immune System!

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis)

Aloe has been used for medicinal and decorative purposes for a very long time. It is easy to use as a remedy for a variety of skin conditions; burns, cold sores, psoriasis, and others. This plant is also well-known for its aide as a laxative. They don’t grow very large and only require a medium amount of sunlight; they are great for keeping on coffee tables or as a centerpiece of a kitchen table. The aloe plant is drought tolerant; so it only required a small amount of watering once in a while. If you live in a dry and sunny area this is a perfect plant to keep near by.

Fat Plants Assortment of 3 Different Aloe Plants – Easy to grow/Hard to Kill! – 3″ Pots. Three gorgeous aloe plants – growers choice from 25 varieties. Fat Plants is a California licensed nursery. The most important thing is not to overwater them. I transferred them into slightly larger pots with 1″ of gravel on the bottom and succulent/cactus soil on top–this ensures good drainage so the roots never end up standing in water, which is pretty much the only thing these plants can’t tolerate. Water every 2 weeks or so–let the soil dry out completely between watering. They can tolerate drought way better than overwatering. Give them some plant food every so often–I get a kind that I can dissolve in water so it’s 2 birds with 1 stone. They’re very tolerant and hardy plants and just need a minimum of care.

What skin conditions can I use Aloe for?

What makes Aloe Vera so convenient is that you can clip a small piece of it off and apply the gel directly to sunburns, dandruff, dry hair, minor skin irritations, and wounds. Raw Aloe Vera should only be used on the external parts of the body. Never consume aloe raw; raw aloe leaves contains aloin which is an extremely potent laxative. Consuming raw aloe leaves will cause severe pain and excessive diarrhea. If you, or someone you know, has consumed raw aloe please contact emergency services for assistance and further information.

Research studies have confirmed that aloe can fight a variety of bacteria and fungi. This reason makes the plant perfect for treating wounds; it eases the pain, cools the skin, and fights off any disease lingering around. When its prepared properly for consumption, it has similar effects in fighting internal diseases as it does external ones.
