Customer question:
For what problems can Aloe vera be used? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The Aloe vera plant is a succulent plant species from the genus Aloe. It grows abundantly in tropical climates and has been used as a medicinal plant for centuries. Aloe vera juice is a thick, slimy liquid made from the inside of the leaves of the aloe vera plant.
Due to its soothing, moisturizing, and cooling properties, aloe vera is often used to relieve burns. If you have sunburn or other mild burns, apply aloe vera to the damaged skin area several times daily.
Aloe vera can also benefit your digestive tract and help soothe and relieve stomach problems (on-hold botanicals). When you consume aloe vera as a digestive tonic, you can use aloe juice to soothe your stomach. Aloe vera extract is also a safe and effective alternative to mouthwashes.
Applying fresh Aloe on the face can help clear the skin. You can buy aloe products, including cleansers, toners, and creams. Acne products made with Aloe may be less irritating to the skin than traditional acne medications.
