The Nature Healer: Aloe Vera

March 2nd 2009 07:01
Aloe Vera, where it's also known as "Medicinal Aloe" is a succulent plant originated from Northern Africa. Its widely being used as the cooling and helping to heal sunburns.

Believe it or not, but the researchers discovered that It can protect the skin, moisturize, soothe stomachache and even prolong your life as well (Yeah, it sounds like a miracle long life medicine, isn't it?)

According to the archeologists, the Aloe was being used in ancient Egypt, especially the royal family for cosmetic beauty and medicinal purposes.

For your information, Aloe Vera is a cellular re-generator and has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects. That's why it will grow up very quickly, even you're cutting its leaves over and over again!




Beside that, it contains magnesium lactate, an itch inhibitor, in the minerals contained in the plant. Hence, Aloe Vera is effective to soothe these following problems, such as:

Insect bites,
Sunburns,
Rashes, and
Acne!

Talking about the Acne, I have a recipe for the acne and it's named "Effective Aloe Acne Mask Recipe". Here's the list of the recipe:

2 table spoon of Seaweed (Preferably in powder)
1 table spoon of Aloe Vera Gel (Any type will do)
1 table spoon of Honey (Preferably Manuka raw honey)

Just mix all the ingredients together by keep it in a container for over 10 minutes. Next, you can apply the Aloe Acne mask mixture on your face. Leave it for at least 30 minutes and rinse it with clean water. Remember to apply it everyday on your face, as "An effective aloe acne mask a day, keeps the doctor away"!

Actually, this is quite true, it is quite a natural healer. My mom, who was recovering from Steven Johnson Syndrom was using this to help her to recover all the dead thick skin and reduces itchiness.

But then, if you are cutting it straight from the plant, please beware about the yellow juice. You need to clean it thoroughly. That, is actually poisonous to the skin. A protective layer? I am not sure.... but yes. After you have cleaned it properly it is truly a wonderful natural medicine!

TRC: Nothing can be compared with the Aloe gel, isn't it?

Hi Wilson,

Mom has recovered from SJS, but it is not a 100% recovery... no one can... in fact, she is a miracle living today. A lot of the reports stated that 20% of the victims around the world could survive this, mostly they can't make it.

That is why, medication is only necessary if it is
(1) advised by doctor
(2) only taken when needed - especially Antibiotics.
(Read the site in detail and you will know)

By the way, because of that incident was my initial spur of starting health2know. Now it is passed to you. Look after it as I have less and less time on it...
