Varieties and Uses:
Medicinal aloe includes: Aloe Arborescens, Aloe Vera, Aloe Ferox, and Aloe Perryi. Among medicinal aloes, Aloe Vera is the most superior and has the widest range of medicinal effects. 1. Beautifying the skin, moisturizing the complexion, and lightening dark spots and freckles:
It may be impossible to completely eliminate dark spots and freckles, but gently massaging with aloe vera can make them lighter and less noticeable. After massaging daily, first use a facial toner to remove the oil, then apply toner, lotion, and a nourishing cream to the face for maintenance. 2. Antibacterial and anti-mold effects for removing corns:
A corn is a raised bump caused by friction between the toe and a belt or pressure from leather shoes. When a corn grows on the sole of the foot or between the toes, it can be extremely painful when walking. To remove a corn, cut the gel-like part of the aloe vera into an appropriate size and place it on the affected area, then bandage it with gauze. Change it once a day, and after a few days, the corn will gradually soften and fall off. 3. Method for promoting stomach health and relieving constipation:
a. Wash half an aloe vera leaf, half a carrot, and half an apple, and cut them into appropriately sized pieces.
b. Put the above ingredients into a juicer and blend immediately, then drink. 4. Improving rough skin:
The best method is to use an aloe vera face mask. First, remove the thorns from the aloe vera, grate it on a grater to extract the juice. Do the same for the cucumber. To use, slowly mix in a small spoonful of aloe vera juice, a large spoonful of cucumber juice, and a large spoonful of flour until it forms a paste for application on the face. After 30 minutes to an hour, rinse it off and use a toner or lotion to care for your skin. 5. Detoxifying, reducing inflammation, and removing acne:
For large, red, pus-filled pimples, apply the gel-like part of aloe vera to the affected area to reduce swelling and pus. For smaller pimples, you can gently massage with aloe vera or apply it as a face mask.
