Herb
Aloe Vera
A spiky desert plant whose cool inner gel has soothed sore, burned skin for ages.
🌱 What it is
Aloe vera is a thick, pointed succulent. Snap a leaf open and you find a clear, cooling gel inside that feels wonderful on the skin.
✨ How it may help
- The gel cools and calms sunburned or irritated skin
- Helps dry skin feel soft and comforted
- A gentle, plant-based helper you can grow on a windowsill
🥄 How to use it
Smooth a little fresh gel (or pure store-bought gel) onto clean, cooled skin. For burns, rinse with cool water first.
⚖️ Caution
Use the gel on skin, not deep wounds. Eating aloe is not recommended, as some parts can upset the stomach.
🍃 A note from nature
A hardy plant that stores up comfort in its leaves, ready to share when we need it.
