Appreciate your writing..... Informative post... Keep sharing the good work

Love this plant, Here in Brazil we call it Babosa. I have always planted a foot for burn or injury, it is my favorite medicinal plant!

Great article because I use Aloe Vera because just like shared it has all of these amazing health benefits.
I also use essential oils and I love learning, experiencing and sharing all this plant-based medicine with others.

I grow my own Aloe Vera in my backyard in El Salvador, but because Iam in Canada right now I grow it at home and use it all the time on me and my family.

This is really great... I think I'll try some of those tips out. You can read my blog about hypoxia @andymandy01

Great article!

Love it! After years of torture and doctors it was the only thing that cured my ulcers.

Aloe vera also helps to remove toxins from our air making it much more healthier to breathe! They are a great house plants for the medicinal benefits as well as their air cleansing benefits, however they must be placed in sunlight, so a windowsill that catches the sun is perfect! :)

This is great, can’t wait to start using my own gel, though this one here’s still a baby. I’ll have to wait for about 3 more years to be able to use the gel, though I have a feeling it’s gonna be totally worth it.
Anyone ever tried to grow their own Aloe Vera? I’m still figuring out what it likes and dislikes. Though, I can be obsessive-compulsive at times – it probably just wants me to leave it alone :-) …
