The herb that will be featured in today's post is Aloe vera.
Uses:
Aloe Vera has a wide range of uses going back as far as the time of the Bible. It is used externally for skin disorders like acne, sores, abscesses, and swollen inflamed joints. When taken internally, it acts as a laxative; helps to strengthen the immune system, and kills viruses and bacteria.
Aloe vera toner for blemish or acne:
Blend fresh aloe vera juice, fresh lemon juice, and cucumber. Note: fresh basil, rosemary, or thyme can also be added to make a toner to wipe the face. Toner can be made and stored in tightly sealed bottle in refrigerate for up to a week. Very good for acne blemishes.
