ALOE VERA
Aloe Vera, often called the Miracle Plant, the
Silent Healer or the Burn Plant, is a succulent, looking rather
like a cactus. When mature, the inner gel can
be harvested, preserved and bottled to produce a product that
is as near to the natural plant juice as we can
get.
To benefit from Aloe Vera, the gel can be taken
internally for its nutritional anti-inflammatory and immune
balancing effect. It can also be combined with
other ingredients to produce topical creams and lotions to
nourish and improve the quality of the skin.
