ALOE VERA - CURE ALL

Advantages: ALMOST MIRACULOUS HEALING PROPERTIES
Disadvantages: DOESN'T TASTE GREAT, CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO BUY FRESH

...-like substance is pushed out from the cut part of the stem, and spread this jelly substance on the affected part. You will notice the pain relief instantly, the area will feel cool and it will be almost as though you didn't have pain/itchiness in the first place. Other ways to use the plant are by buying it in pill form - this is good for bowel problems, and Aloe is an excellent colon cleanser. If you have bowel problems, Aloe is an excellent laxative, very natural and with no side effects that I have ever come across. Aloe Vera is also available as creams, lotions, shampoo and juice. The juice is again excellent for issues such as IBS, heartburn, sore throats and mouth ulcers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *****Growing your own Aloe Vera***** Aloe Vera likes to be ignored. It's not a plant that...

Review of Aloe Vera

aloe vera plant

Advantages: great healing properties
Disadvantages: none

...Aloe vera plants are brilliant, easy to care for and have endless uses. Aloe vera plats as as pictured above but as they get older do grow a stem in the middle and flower. They can grow to about 100 cm tall but dont wory you will be cutting lots off it. They need to have gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage, and a soil/ sand mix of 50/50 to be kept best. You cant keep your aloe vera plant outside as it likes to be warm and you only need to water it when the soil drys up, about once a month for the 2 in my kitchen. We first discovered the aloe vera pant wholst on holiday, my dad and hubby had burnt that badly in the sun i was buying burns treatments from the chemist when the cleaner turned up with an aloe vera plant for them, she told us to cut the leaves off, slice them open and rub the clear jelly from inside onto...

Review of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera ... a wonderplant?

Advantages: Incredibly versatile, can be used internally and externally
Disadvantages: The juice tastes ...like nothing I've never tasted before!

...burns, sunburn, rash, minor (healed, as in unbroken skin) skin abbrasions, spots, dry skin, and as a general soother. It is used in many anti-ageing lotions and also makes an effective cleanser. I first bought it as a gel to soothe severly sun-cooked skin and I could not believe how well and how quickly my skin recovered. It seals the skin and cools the affected area and if used quickly (for example after a day in the sun) it may even prevent permanent damage and scarring. Aloe Vera is a very effective after-sun remedy. It is also available as a soap and is a favourite ingredient now in many body washes and shampoos and conditioners to soothe sore scalps. One of the best things about Aloe Vera is that it isn't just a topical treatment; it can be bought as a juice or as a supplement to ingest. The juice is very good but tastes pretty...

Review of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera Gel

Advantages: So easy to make and the plant lasts for years
Disadvantages: Last for around 4 weeks

...Back again with another recipe from a great plant?.in fact I think it's probably one of the best plants in the world. I came across this recipe about 2 years ago and use it regular; I have 2 plants in the house. ***The Plant*** Aloe Vera - barbadensis A half-hardy perennial, the indoor species can grow about 1ft in height and can eventually produce a flowering stem with bell shaped flowers, I have not seen this on my plant. The Aloe Vera plant has many properties, when used on a wound it puts a protective film over the area and helps the skin to regenerate. The Aloe plant that is over 2 years of age is meant to have stronger medicinal properties. It is also used to treat sunburn, fungal infection, and under doctor supervision it can be used as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), I also read in a herb book the US...

Vaseline Lip Therapy With Aloe Vera

Advantages: Makes you lips instantly smooth even if you have really dry lips
Disadvantages: None

...This review is on the Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera. I brought this lip treatment a while ago and i use it all the time, all throughout the day. It is petroleum jelly and is amazing! I mentioned in a previous that the Palmers Lip Butter was my favourite, but i have to say that this has taken over. Aloe Vera is very good for softening the skin. It is a natural ingredient that soothes and calms. My lips are the driest and always get chapped. It doesn't help that i bite my lips as well. The first use of this lip therapy will soften your lips and instantly make the look visibily kissable. It works by softening the dry skin and this makes it look like it isn't there anymore. I would highly recommend this product as the value for money is brilliant. It lasts for a long time and the feel of it on your lips is so smooth...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera Gel: Excellent purchase.

Advantages: Smoothes, moisturises, cheap, clean feeling.
Disadvantages: Possible interactions with skin.

...What is it, and what does it claim to do? Organic Aloe Pura Aloe Vera Gel. A clear gel in a large tube. It is for external use, for application to irritated skin. I also use it to protect my skin after bathing, and as a moisturiser. Application I have various stretch marks on my chest due to growth spurts in puberty, and a few scars that I have acquired over the years over my body. I hoped that this gel would be able to soften, moisturise and generally provide my skin with a bit of loving, without too many chemicals, frangrances and colours. Reading up on aloe vera, I found out that the highest % pure aloe vera that you can get is the best for doing the job it claims to. I settled on this product because it seemed to be the most natural one on offer, with a high percentage of the magical Aloe Barbadensis...

Review of Aloe Pura Organic Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera Vaseline Lips

Advantages: Cheap, Smooths lips makes them shiny and soft, tin lasts ages
Disadvantages: None

...*Packaging and Price* Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera comes in a round tin with a green and white design in a rather dated design that might benefit from being modernised slightly. The tin is small enough to fit in your handbag / makeup bag without taking up much space, at 4.5cm in diameter and 2cm in height. However, the colour of the lid and container does wear off quite quickly inside your bag leaving you with a worn looking scratchmarked tin. As far as I know, this is the only size that the product comes in. You simply lift the lid off without too much effort and it is well fitted with ridges so that it is unlikely to come off in your bag. The price is just 99p for 20g in Boots and in most other stores I have looked in the price is the same. This is very reasonable as the tin will last you ages, I bought my tin 4 months...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera

Vaseline Aloe vera

Advantages: keeps lift soft, smooth and supple.
Disadvantages: can melt a bit.

...I love this handy little pot of goo. Not much to look at but I never go anywhere ithout one. I find the Aloe vera one is so good for when you have a cold. When your nose gets sore you can dab a little bit on n it feels much better. It is wonderful on your lips. It makes them soft and supple. Its so useful. We even used it for a science experiement once. Its a little miracle in a pot. It smells nice too. I prefer the Aloe vera one as i had been out for ages and i came back and looked in the mirror and it was still there keeping my lips looking great! It is soo useful and feels great on your lips. Although in hot weather or when it gets warm it can melt a bit and go runny, which can get annoying as you have to wait for it to set. But I do recommend it to everyone as it lasts a long time and you can always guarentee you can find it...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages: It can be bought easily and there are no side effects. You have nothing to lose by trying it for a trial period.
Disadvantages: Aloe vera is liquid form, is an aquired taste. It is avalible in other flavours but even these do not mask its strong pungent taste. It can also be quite expensive costing from eight to sixteen pounds for a months supply.

...Aloe Vera has taken off in the Uk over recent years following its spread across America. Aloe Vera is a succulent plant, it grows in areas where water is in short supply and so stores water as a gel inside its thick waxy leaves. It is this gel, added to products that provides the health benefits. Aloe vera can be bought in many forms, it is added to lipsticks, face creams and shampoo. However these are not what this article is concerned with. I am a Biology student at the University of Manchester and hence I am sceptical about certain miracle cures that have been advertised. However I belive that Aloe vera when taken twice a day as a liquid supplement can have numerous health benifits. My father started using aloe vera about two years ago after a friend told him about its possible health benefits. My father at the time was suffering...
