I first came across aloe vera on a sunny beach in Jamaica where I had just experienced the tropical sun that turned my torso into a red pepper. Seeing my obvious condition, a native appeared on the beach with a long plant leaf and she said this will fix your imminent pain. She cut across the leaf and out oozed a clear jel which she applied to my shoulders, back, and face. I felt better right away!

Aside from relieving sunburn, it is used for treating eczema, hair loss,as a skin moisturizer in cosmetics, and even as a laxative! To find out more about aloe vera, stop by Natural Health Trip.
