Information:[]

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant with slender, spiny leaves grown for its medicinal and aesthetic properties. They are a staple of houseplant enthusiasts for their low maintenance needs, and are a go-too for over enthusiastic outdoors-people for burn and bug-bite relief.

Each leaf contains a soft, gelatinous inside that can be used to make salves and other topical treatments used to moisturize and sooth the skin. It can also be used as a hair mask to keep frizz at bay. In food, the gel can be used in a variety of recipes from smoothies to soups, and is found in some commercially available beverages. It is also found to offer some relief from constipation.

As with any herb, use caution when first applying or ingesting products containing Aloe Vera. Although it is generally safe to apply topically, some people may experience reactions including contact dermatitis, erythema, and phototoxicity after applying Aloe Vera products. Ingestion of Aloe vera is generally recommending only in small amounts, as large quantities of Aloe Vera gel can cause diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance, kidney dysfunction, and conventional drug interactions. Diarrhea, caused by the laxative effect of oral aloe vera, can decrease the absorption of many drugs.
