Aloe Vera health benefits are excellent and it is famous for the alternative home remedies and treatments. People have used it to treat skin rashes and allergies from ancient days.
When I was small, sometimes my skin used to erupt into red or pink rashes due to allergy from a foreign metal such as a small thing like wearing a bangle or a bracelet on my hands. My Mom used to apply aloe vera juice and it used to heal in a small amount of time.
I like to work outdoors in the garden, many times the hot sun creates sun burns and blisters on my face, every time the soothing aloe vera has come to my rescue, applying it to my forehead has brought me instant relief.
While working in the kitchen, it is inevitable that you get small cuts while chopping vegetables, get bruised with things around and even get burnt. Herbal home remedies that seem so trivial often provide first aid, believe me they are so effective. Growing herbs in your garden can mean that they can be used for all alternative home remedies, besides bringing that special flavor to your dinner and breakfast.
Perhaps you do not know, many herbs have potent medical usage and are used in medicines. It is prudent to have these medicinal herbs handy, at any given time they can just provide you relief from a small disaster and pain.

Have You Used Herbal Home Remedies with Aloe vera?
WriterArtist, Thank you for product lines, pretty pictures and practical information.
In particular, I appreciate aloe vera as home remedy for allergies, burns and wounds. Oftentimes, bunch-grass blades end up slicing my fingers when I don't wear my gardening gloves. Or I get burned when I pick up something at the edge of the fire pit. Or I have a case of poison ivy ;-{.
Have you ever reacted to poison ivy and poison oak? There's no immunity once one is allergic. Aloe vera and hot-water soaks make them less lasting and painful.
Hi Mira,
Yep, aloe vera is great for sun burns and skin allergies. Drinking aloe vera juice regularly is very healthy too.
It's been very popular here since the nineties. Mom once brought home a bottle for us to drink. There was little talk of other natural stuff at the time. It seemed to be all about aloe vera, and there was a company, Forever Living Products, that made lots of sales.
We still use aloe vera in my family if we get sunburn.
I agree with you Tolovaj, antibiotics have side effects and home remedies for small issues work better.
I always preferred home remedies to 'hard medicine' and looking at problems with antibiotics more and more people will turn to nature again.
Katiem,
It is great that you have the plant itself, you can use the fresh herb.
GeorgiaRose,
I use aloe vera regularly, it is such an useful herb. I am glad that you use it too.
I love aloe vera! I mainly use it on my face and also in my smoothies. It makes my skin so clear and healthy! Thanks for sharing these great facts and tips.
My aloe plant has gotten so big it has actually grown out of the pot tipping it over, gotta trans plant. Thanks for all the tips and uses.
