30 reasons to make home remedies from Aloe Vera - 
the legendary healing plant of the Egyptians, Greeks and Native Americans.
From NaturalNews - (edited)
Over 6,000 years have passed since the Egyptians referred to Aloe Vera as the "plant of immortality," due to its myriad of uses - everything from acne to baldness to insomnia to digestive upsets to sepsis to psoriasis, even some cancers. The list goes on and for a very good reason – it works.

Aloe Vera plants produce a variety of substances with antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and antioxidant properties; earning it a spot in the pantheon of superfoods and super herbs alongside companions such as echinacea, garlic, turmeric and ginger. If you intend to take Aloe Vera orally, that is as a juice, always choose an organic product or make your own from a fresh organic leaf.

The plant provides high amounts of vitamins and minerals. Regular consumption of Aloe Vera juice supplies the eight essential amino acids not made by the body plus a wide range of enzymes.
