Aloe Vera
Published on August 22, 2014
The Aloe Vera plant was brought from Africa to North America for its healing benefits in the sixteenth century. The Aloe Vera jell which is extracted from the leaves is used for healing sunburn, eczema, burns, insect bites, wounds and treating fungal infections. It’s also a very good treatment for healing acne, athletes foot, mouth sores, and tonsillitis. The jell contains white crystalline oxidation which stimulates cell regeneration. As a medication Aloe Vera is beneficial in the treatment of bronchial congestion. The juice that is derived from the whole leaf help in a number of digestive disorders such as chronic constipation.

Have used this plant for a few things but now know there is so much more it can used for. Any tips on a good way to grow one when you do not live in Florida? Also can you use the whole leaf in a shake? How much do you use per shake?

I have used processed aloe for 20 years since having extensive abdominal surgery that left me with chronic diahrrea. It is well controlled now. A friend used it while undergoing chemotherapy. She made smoothies and added it. She took one leaf, peeled it then added the inside gel to her smoothie. Do not use the entire leaf. I grow it outside in Florida. If you do not live in a temperate climate I would grow it in a pot inside. 100% aloe is wonderful if undergoing radiation for cancer. It comes in a spray. Spray it on your skin immediately after each treatment - no burns!
