I was shopping with my homeboy in the flower district of New York City. Out of all of the beautiful flowers and plants that I could have bought that day, I decided to purchase, the unruly, unattractive aloe vera plant.
Because of its healing properties, aloe vera has been widely use to stimulate tissue regeneration and help fade skin marks, scars and freckles. It can also be applied to skin to soothe sunburns and rashes, and used to treat psoriasis and eczema. In addition to being the best medicine for burns and sun burns, aloe vera can also help those with dry, flaky skin or those suffering from chaffing due to wind and cold weather.
Aloe’s healing benefits are wide-reaching. Not only does it revitalize the skin, leaving a healthy natural glow, it also acts as a powerful antioxidant keeping skin looking youthful and rejuvenated.
Some additional beauty-solving properties of aloe include:
- Reduces the appearances of wrinkles
- Treats and prevents acne
- Stimulates the growth of new skin cells
- Accelerates hair growth and reduces dandruff
- Maintains skin’s elasticity and suppleness
I like the actual plant to rub directly on my skin, but it tastes like poison. Yuck! AgroLabs Liquid Nutrition has introduced Aloe Pure – and it tastes great. By ingesting 1 fl oz per day, Aloe Pure’s health-boosting properties immediately go to work from the inside out, distributing a blend of 75 nutrients including amino acids, sodium, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, vitamins and enzymes throughout the body.

If it tastes good, I have to wonder how much aloe is actually in it.
