I Have a Natural Remedy to Share

This story is about the Aloe Vera plant. I posted a similar story on EP yrs ago but I'm going to write another one because I have recently used the gel from the leaves of this plant to sort out a small growth on my face.

Firstly, about 15 yrs ago I had a wart on a knuckle on my hand. I mentioned this to a Zulu friend of mine one day who pointed to an Aloe Vera plant in my garden. He said I should apply the gel from the leaves once a day and see what happens. I did this once a day and after two months the wart was gone. It dried up, died and fell off in small little dry crumbles. The skin was left perfect with no scar or mark. Coincidence ? Maybe...but read further.

Secondly, about 10 yrs ago a small mole developed on the left side of my face right in front of my left ear. At first I hardly even noticed it but suddenly it started to itch a lot and started growing quite fast. As we all know a growing and itching mole, especially on the face, is not a good thing.

I then remembered the Aloe Vera plant. I applied the gel from the leaves and immediately the itching stopped. After about 2 months of applying it once a day, sometimes I forget, the mole suffered the same fate as the wart. It dried up, died and fell off in small dry crumbles. The skin was left perfect with no scar or mark. Coincidence again ? Maybe not. Read further.

Thirdly, a few months ago a small brown spot appeared on my left cheek. I hardly noticed it and didn't really care because I'm 49 now so a small spot on my face is neither here nor there. Or so I thought.

A few weeks ago this spot started to itch and grow which again reminded me of Aloe Vera. So about 2 weeks ago I started applying the gel from the leaves to that spot. The itching stopped, it dried up and is now about half the size that it was. Clearly it is suffering the same fate as the wart and the mole. Those little dry crumbles usually come off while I'm sleeping because of the rubbing of my face against the pillow. Coincidence again ? I think not, not after the third time.

I have tried it on a mole that I was born with but it had no effect. So it seems to work like a charm on skin problems that are busy developing.

My Zulu friend also used it for throat infections. He boiled part of a leaf in water, strained it, let it cool down and gargled before spitting it out.

I know people who use it for Eczema and it also works on sunburned skin among other uses.

So before you rush off to the doctor in order to have a developing mole or wart removed you might want to try applying the gel from the leaf of an Aloe Vera plant first and just take note of what happens.

Lastly, I would just like to thank mother Earth for providing us with so many useful plants. And thank you to anyone else who bothered to read this all the way through.
