Today I would like to draw your attention to the Aloe Vera plant.

A seemingly normal plant with one famous characteristic that we all know about. It  soothes burnt skin from over exposure to the sun or first and second degree burns and wounds.
But here are some benefits of Aloe Vera you may not have known about.

Aloe Vera can be purchased in liquid form from pharmacies and tastes rather nice. You can make it a regular part of your daily or weekly diet and see the benefits in a matter of weeks. For topical use I highly recommend the actual plant itself which can be purchased from any plant store or nursery. for those who live in hot climates this plant can be found every where .

Aloe Vera is highly beneficial in treatment of Diabetes and blood Glucose levels, fatty acids and Cholesterol. It is also known to remedy Irritable Bowl Syndrome, genital Herpes and skin irritations such as Psoriasis and other extreme dry skin conditions such as Eczema.
Applied regularly on to problem areas of the skin it will smooth out the texture and relief the soreness, itchiness and discomfort related to the above conditions and in time heal it completely.

The actual plant which is fleshy and comes in two colours, green and a grey green colour is very effective. Open  up the Aloe Vera leaf and use the extract directly on the problem area. The creams and soaps and other Aloe products although beneficial take longer to have effect.

Aloe Vera is anti bacterial and anti fungal and so its perfect for treating Athletes foot and nail fungus. 

Another benefit of Aloe Vera which may not be common knowledge is that its topical use on the scalp will help against dry scalp, Dandruff and most importantly Hair Loss!

Yes Hair Loss!!

It actually not only stops hair loss but also helps promote new hair growth.
I must say at this point that Aloe Vera does not perform miracles and so if you have been challenged in the follicle department for some years then Aloe Vera is not the solution..

There are many studies in progress linking Aloe Vera to the Immune System. They believe that it boosts the Immune System by stimulating the production of White blood cells in the body to fight against various types of Cancer, HIV and Tumour's    
There is also known benefits of Aloe Vera for Asthma sufferers.

Aloe Vera when used topically on the face helps to eliminate marks and skin discolourations left from Pimples and Acne. 

Aloe Vera is rich in Vitamin's C,E,B12, Calcium and Amino acids.
