Herbal Supplements


You can use aloe topically, as a gel or liquid, to treat a variety of skin condtions—sunburn, scrapes, dry skin, itch, pain and swelling. It also has some antibacterial properties. While some people drink aloe juice to treat constipation or cleanse the digestive tract, the FDA warns that ingesting aloe may cause liver or thyroid problems.



As a reminder, always consult your doctor for medical advice and treatment before starting any program.
