>And what are all the uses for aloe vera that you know
I think it is best to use aloe immediately as it comes from the plant, as many
of its constituents are unstable. Commercially it is harvested directly into
ice water, and is processed within one hour of picking, so as to disable the
enzyme which causes its properties to vanish.
It is good for many burns, as is usually known. Sunburn particularly, as it
also relieves pain slightly.
Taken internally, blended with water or juice, it is good for many things,
including immune stimulatation. Make sure not to get any of the yelow sap from
the skin, but to use the gel inside, and the material right under the skin in
the tubules, (I scrape it with a spoon) so as to get the mucopolysaccharides
which are concentrated there.
