Aloe Vera Heals you inside and out

Today's focus is the miraculous plant "Aloe Vera".  Many of us have these little beauties in our homes already.  Mine are so prolific, little off shoot plants keep coming up all the time.  We are most familiar of the benefits of the jelly inside the leaves for healing our skin, especially from burns, but what it does for you on your outside dermis, it does for your inside as well. Personally I have witnessed Aloe's antipyretic power on the  internal heat from radiation my mother endured.  Radiation is a burn from the inside out, so it makes perfect sense to help heal those tissues that were damaged from the treatment.

Such a wonderful little gift this plant is, it promotes cell regeneration, soothes membranes, is loaded with vitamins: A,C,B1,B2,B3,B6,B12, folic acid, choline and K. Along with minerals:  calcium, zinc, chromium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, manganese, copper and phosphorus. The healing attributes of aloe date back to first century AD.  Please enjoy this video I found on making your own Aloe Vera infusion for a morning tonic.

Herbal Mamma suggests pinching of a little of the leaf and applying it directly to any acne blemishes.  The healing and astringent qualities of the sap works so fast, that if you do this at night, you will be astounded in the morning to find no more zit!
