This plant is very useful and so effective. Two parts are used: the gel-like central leaf pulp, and the yellow-green juice from the leaf. The gel is used in creams to soothe, heal, and moisturize the skin, and in shampoos for dry, itchy scalps. It cools the skin, protects it from airborne infections and fungi, and reduces scarring. It speeds cell regeneration, and so treats radiation burns coral wounds, and dermatitis.
It can be scraped from split leaves for first aid treatment of small burns, cuts, chapped skin, sunburn, eczema. Compounds in the leaf juice are added to sunscreens to protect the skin from harmful sun- rays.
It is a protective houseplant. It guards against evil influences and prevents household accidents.
In Africa, the aloe is hung over houses and doors to bring good luck and drive away evil.
Aloe Vera gel is used in cosmetic recipes where a cream or lotion isn't appropriate.
