Healing a Burn (Aloe Vera) Question

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your suggestions...I really appreciate it! Where can

I find " pure " aloe vera lotion/gel, etc? I've checked at some stores

(i.e. Wal-Mart) and they have aloe vera gel but with a bunch of

additives. I'd want to purchase just a small amount....

 

Thanks again,

Hi

 

Can you get hold of the actual plant? I think you can just break off

part of leaf and apply direct. You will definately know there are no

chemicals then.

I had seen at Walmart of the stuff that you speak of. You know what I had done?

I had gone out and purchased myself the actual plant. It has grown to be

enormous now and it is essential for me because for some reason, I cannot go

without burning myself on my wood stove! Glade

besides using the plant, you can but Pure aloe vera gel at Trader Joes.

It's wonderful.

These plants are very easy to grow in pots if you don't live in a warm

climate, where they are native to. They are also easy to propagate by just

slicing a bigger plant apart, cutting down between the leaves and taking

some of the root. The more water you give them (without over watering them

:-) the bigger they will get, as they are a succulent. When you need one

you can just break off a leaf, cut the spines off the sides--they aren't

thorns exactly but can be pricky-- Then slice the leaf open and scoop out

the gel inside. It's the gel part you want to use. You can also eat the

gel if you have stomach problems, though you don't want the outside leaf

part, as that can give you diarrhea. But you can buy pure liquid aloe gel

by the gallon in some stores like Walmart or the health food store. I knew

a guy that had stomach cancer and kept himself alive and without pain for

quite a few years after the docs said he'd be dead, by drinking aloe Vera

every day. We moved so I don't know how long he lived, but he said as long

as he had a glass of the gel every day his stomach never hurt.

Diane ----- Probably the best way is to grow your own. Very easy to grow,

need little water. Just cut a leaf and peel the green off on side, then scrape

the gel out with spoon and run the scrapings through the blender to make a

smooth liquid. Gel keeps well in fridge in a small jar. I have put the gel in

the blender with instant oatmeal to make a thicker lotion like concoction.

You could experiment with yogurt also.

Call nurseries near you to locate a plant. Or email me private with

Alternative Answers in subject and I can mail you a small plant or two with

instructions. I have lots of plants and I make up pots all the time to give

away, they

spread to make new little plants. Aloe is God's gift for burns and wrinkles

too!

Peace,
