Sun burn, helps stop itchy insect bites, works as a great moisturizer (especially for your feet), also taking of make-up and preventing pimples!

You can drink it! The texture takes some getting used to, but it’s actually quite refreshing.

Amazingly enough, it also removes bruises. My grandma applied a large sheath to my grandpa’s arm and a few hours later, all of the pooled blood left the site of the bruise. Not sure how that works…

Once while having extreme heart burn a neighbor suggested I drink 1/8 of a cup of
Aloe Vera. I was totally amazed in less than 15 min it was gone. You can buy it
purified for drinking. Also have used it for a sinus infection by mixing a little water with
gel straight from the plant and sniffing it into my nose.

Anything and everything according to my Grandmother. Her favourite line, should we injure ourselves is “put some aloe vera on it!”.
