Alexander the Great popularized the medicinal properties of
aloe when he heard how the sap from it’s leaves could help heal battle wounds.
“Aloe” creates a protective barrier on the skin that keeps it moist and
promotes healing. It also stimulates the
Langerhans cells, which can reduce inflammation.
Now is a good time to think about growing your own indoor
potted aloe plant. It’s so easy, they
are just beautiful and a very healthy plant to have around the house.
Select a small size clay flowerpot and saucer. Make sure you place them in a sunny location
or window. The potted aloe plant loves
indirect sunlight but too much direct sunlight can brown it’s leaves. It’s best to rotate the pot once or twice a
week so that all sides receive equal light.
Don’t overwater but keep the moisture moist.
To use for burns or cuts:
Slit open a stalk, squeeze out some gel like substance and dab on the
skin. Keep the remaining stalk in the
refrigerator for up to 60 days.
