Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of the most powerful and miraculous natural healing plant on the planet. Not only is it popular ingredient in many natural skin care products, it is exceptional when it comes to burns. I had a huge non healing burn on my hand from the oven and for a couple of weeks it just wouldn’t heal. I tried all types of ointments and changing bandages. I eventually cut off a small leaf of the aloe vera plant, cut it sideways so that half of the leaf was exposed and placed it on top of the burn and wrapped a bandage around it. Literally next morning, I swear it was halfway healed. Now that’s good stuff.
Aloe Vera can truly benefit those with suffering from rosacea. The gluggy gel inside the plant is anti inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal and also antibacterial making it a perfect natural source for inflamed rosacean skin. I find it particularly useful during my extreme rosacea flare ups. I apply the gel straight after cleansing and depending on how bad my flare up is, after applying some brewed chamomile tea on my skin before going to bed and notice a definite improvement the next morning. I do only use it when my skin is exceptionally bad as I don’t like the sticky feeling I get from it being on my face. I am, however, researching a way to make my own natural facial cleanser with this aloe vera gel.
Having an aloe vera plant in your backyard is well worth having, as the gel you extract from the plant is 100% pure and natural and a lot cheaper than some of the so called aloe gels you can buy from the supermarket and much less risk to highly sensitive rosacea skin. As well as being an easy plant to grow (I know it’s easy as it’s one of the very few plants I am able to grow..and I do have lots of them everywhere, all growing fabulously without much need for maintenance), the aloe plants reproduce quite easily on their own producing baby plants near the base on the mother plant. These “pups” can be removed and transplanted to another pot or space in the garden when they are over 3” tall.

Just one of my many aloe vera plants I have growing in my backyard in pots
