Aloe is a plant with many benefits for our body, is native to Europe, and belongs to the lily family. Its scientific name is Aloe arborescens Mill. It has emollient and moisturizing properties and also has been used in the treatment of bruises, burns, insect bites and cuts, swelling, acne and rashes, among others.

You have probably heard of its many benefits to the skin, or its power to remove stains. Its healing properties are perhaps the best known of aloe.

Your skin and hair may be largely benefited by the use of aloe. Here I share some recipes to use this plant:

    I have donde it and even though it didn’t come as I wanted, it was an interesting thing to do, even though it looked so ugly that I didn’t want to use it, but well…. it is about experimentation

    So, I just read another article about aloe and…now it’s for sure. I am DEFINITELY getting an aloe plant. I know they’re super easy to take care of. And obviously have tons of uses. I agree with the shampoo coment. I’ve been looking for great shampoo recipes for a while, so I’ll give this one a try.
