Aloe Vera & An Aloe Arthritis Gel
Aloe is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. Give it some sunshine in a south facing window, some well-drained soil, water it moderately and it will thrive.
Aloe is a must have in every home. It is attractive and best of all, will supply you with an abundance of healing leaves.
The gel contained inside the healing leaves is soothing and pain relieving and promotes healing and tissue repair.
Use this soothing gel on burns, sunburns, stings, rashes, eczema, insect bites and inflammation caused by poison ivy.
Yes, You Can Ingest Aloe
The inner juice or gel, within the leaves, is also very healing and soothing to all areas of the digestive tract. However, you will want to avoid the outer most layer unless you need a laxative.
Aloe Vera is a safe laxative, however, it can be very powerful, causing a purging effect, so if you want to use it for the laxative effect just don't take too much! The outermost layer of the leaves are used for this purpose and often dried into a powder.
Note: If you are pregnant or nursing avoid using Aloe internally, as well as, for the very elderly and small children.
Note: It is advised to not use Aloe on Staph or Staph type infections; it will seal in the bacteria.
