This plant is perfect to take care of our general health. It is used to treat various skin problems, to whiten teeth or stains and to relieve pain. That is why it is used in treatments for psoriasis, in anti-acne and anti-aging creams, in ointments to relieve burns or insect bites and in many other treatments that we do not imagine. It can even be ingested in different drinks that will help to alleviate problems such as gastritis and ulcers.

It is characterized by being formed by a variable group of leaves that start from a trunk that acts as a central root. Its fruit is a triangular capsule containing numerous seeds.

From the leaves of Aloe vera is extracted the juice used historically to cure all kinds of ailments.

They are able to accumulate large amounts of water, because in the hours when the sun is very hot, to prevent evaporation, the Aloe closes its pores or stomas, thus preserving the water inside. These reserves are stored and consumed slowly when rains are scarce, thus, it can reduce its size and consistency and even sacrifice some of its leaves in order to survive.

This plant contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential amino acids and polysaccharides, which are very important and all these valuable ingredients are in perfect harmony and therefore allows the supply of vital substances for our body, far beyond any individual agent.

Aloe vera acts as a detoxifier, digestive, depurative, cellular regenerator, bactericide, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiviral, pain inhibitor, anti-coagulant, immune system stimulator and at a topical level: healing and moisturizing. Hence, the main element of skin creams is aloe vera.

It is cultivated and maintained without too much care because it is a fairly resistant plant. However, we must take care of it from the cold.

Others take advantage of the medicinal properties of the aloe vera to calm ailments, for example the pulp is extracted from the leaves or pencas, we add lemon juice, water and beat everything until we have a homogeneous paste. We then store the mixture in a container and store it in the fridge.

We can apply this paste on the affected area at night as the lemon causes stains if it comes into contact with the sun. In the morning we wash our face and apply the usual treatments normally.
