Here is a little info you might find helpful about Aloe Vera, not just the Gel that most of us know about but the Juice and you can get this in powder for as well.
Biological Name(s):Aloe barbadensis, Aloe Indica, Aloe Barbados, Aloe Vera, Lily family, Liliaceae
Other Names: Aloe, Aloe Vera, Indian Alces, Kumari, Ghirita, Gawarpaltra, Barbados aloe, Curacao aloe, Lu hui
Description: Aloe is a perennial succulent native to East and South Africa. It is cultivated in the West Indies and other tropical countries. The tissue in the center of the aloe leaf contains a gel which yields aloe gel or aloe vera gel.
Parts Used: Leaf gel and sap. Aloin Extract, dried juice of leaves and pulp root.
Remedies For: Alterative, bitter tonic, rejuvenative, emmenagogue, purgative, emollient, vulnerary.
When applied externally, aloe vera restores skin tissues and may aid the healing of burns and sores. It can also be used on blemishes and dandruff. Used cosmetically, Aloe vera softens the skin.
Aloe vera is also taken internally for stomach disorders. Dried aloe latex, a substance derived from the leaf, is a strong laxative. Modern doctors have used aloe for x-ray burns, sunburn, chemical burns, first degree burns, traumatized tissue, decibitus ulcers or bedsores, skin inflammation, stomach ulcers, herpes simplex, peridontal surgery, insect bites and stings, irritating plant stings, and other minor skin manifestations.
Aloe had shown outstanding results in treating facial edema (swelling). When used as a mouth rinse, it was effective for cold spores and lockjaw.
Here are a few applications that are believed to be helped or cured with Aloe Vera Juice or Gel: amenorrhea, asthma, inflamed or diseased breasts, burns, bursitis, colds, colic, conjunctivitis, constipation, coughs, dys- menorrhea, dysentery with bloody stools, ear infections, eye problems, fat and sugar metabolism, fever, gonorrhea, heart pain, hemorrhoids, hepatitis, herpes, infant pneumonia, insomnia, Intestinal worms, jaundice, kidney disorders, enlarged liver, menopause, rheumatism, skin inflammations, skin rashes and sores, sore throat, spleen, enlarged, toothache, TB and other lung diseases, tumors, and ulcers, chronic vaginitis, and, venereal diseases.
Juice is pretty inexpensive and you can find it in the health food Stores and I think some of the CVS stores carry it as well. Prices range from $11 to $35 a gallon depending on what type you choose.
Keep in mind this is different from the green Aloe Vera Gel you may put on sunburns, which has a thickener added as well as a bit of numbing medication.
I keep the powder on hand myself which can be found in a many herb stores online.
