Aloe Vera for Health, Beauty and Luck

It’s a real shame to waste a Pumpkin on Halloween because they are full of goodness. This year we’ve at least saved the seeds and have roasted and eaten them (see the recipe below). I’m also boiling up the pumpkin guts and goo and some of the pumpkin flesh which was cut out with a simple recipe adding eggs, ginger powder, cinnamon, eggs, cloves, salt and brown sugar, so nothing is wasted. The actual Pumpkin will stay outside and end up on the compost heap, but here’s a great tip, on Monday the stores will likely be selling of their Pumpkins cheaply so buy up a few and start baking Pumpkins!

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Separate the seeds from the guts. Using your hands, pick out the seeds and lay them on a buttered or greased baking sheet. Do not rinse them! This removes a lot of the flavor. Bake for 10 minutes. Salt before eating.

You probably know aloe has been used for centuries to treat burns and scrapes. It’s probably safe to say, you’ve even used it for at least one of those two (that includes sunburns!). Are you aware that aloe is referred to by many researchers as “Nature’s Miracle” because of the dozens upon dozens of other ailments it can treat? Chances are you didn’t.

That is because the huge drug companies don’t want you to know about that.

They have kept it under wraps because they make money through research of disease treating drugs. It takes years and millions of dollars to find a drug, test it, and finally market it. That then funds their next project. It’s a horrible cycle that never ends.

The melon has an amazing number of health benefits, and is also a healthy gentle way to eat. I know someone who always does an annual melon cure (i.e. only eats Melons for a week), but no need to go that far. When you eat melon you get liquids, minerals, fiber, vitamins, trace elements and they’re delicious.

There are two types of Melon Sweet Melons and Water Melons. The Water Melon (Red Flesh , large seeds) has the more subtle but finer taste. But in fact there are many different varieties within these sub-divisions, Cantaloupes, Honey Dew, Christmas Melons etc look out for them in good stores and markets.

If you are the homemaker you can do a lot to encourage your family to eat these fruits by careful preparation. One great way is to cut them into cubes and chill in the fridge.

Aloe Vera can live up to seven years without water but can be killed in a much shorter time by over watering. But how much watering is too much? Well let’s say if you are a consistent organized person who always remembers to water their plants then there is a danger you will over water, however if you are a forgetful student-like who only occasionally remembers to water you will have healthier plants.

That said I put my Aloe Vera plants outside for the whole summer and I have seem them swimming in water without seeming to harm them. In winter I shall water sparingly may be only 3 times.

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about these pipes, and of course they are completely natural.

I bought this Aloe Vera for my French mother-in-law. It was a cheaty present because I wanted there to be an Aloe Vera plant when I visit to sooth my sunburns and scratches when ever we visit.

What is Wrong with this Aloe Vera Plant?

Well the pot is too small, it needs re-potting into the largest clay pot you care to use.

Pot with a seed starting mixture at a garden center or a bag of peat moss sphagnum mixed 50/50% with Perlite, or a bag of cactus mix.

I began using aloe vera for sunburns about 20 years ago. Soon after I also began to use it as an after shower
moisturizer, for my face in particular. Skin tends to feel rather tight and dry following a shower. This became part of
my routine and I haven’t looked back. For 20+ years now following every shower … occasionally at other times during
the day I have been using aloe. I have always liked the fact that it was natural, non-greasy and essentially disappeared
about five minutes after using with no residue leaving your skin properly moisturized. Evidence suggests that aloe
provides significant benefits far exceeding simple sunburn treatments. This seems to be backed up by the fact that
island residents where aloe is prevalent and used regularly tend to have skin looking years younger than the user’s true
age.
My preference is towards the more natural. Aloe from the plant is a clear gel – not green as many products show it. I suppose some manufacturers have made it green because that color is either expected or more pleasing in some way but if you are looking for natural you want it clear and as close to 100% aloe vera as is possible. Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera fills the bill on all fronts. 100% aloe vera, no added color, no added alcohol etc. It has become our house favorite.
Side note: at the time I began using it I was not seeking a youth potion, just a way of getting rid of that tight dry feeling following a shower. I don’t know if credit belongs with the aloe, heredity, luck or some combination but my skinappears quite a bit younger than my age should dictate. Take that for what it is.

(posted previously as a comment by Pauline) I note she also appreciates that when you use natural Aloe Vera Gel it seems to leave no trace at all!

It’s on vacation that we tend to suffer the most sun burns, insect bites, scrapes, scratches, chafing, rashes etc, so don’t forget to pack a big fat lower Aloe Vera leaf in a light cloth and put pack it in your suitcase. The raw natural gel will at the least soothe if not cure most of your skin complaints. Just cut off a short section from your leaf, trim any spikes, then cut open and gently rub the Aloe Vera gel on to the sore spot, get proper medical treatment for anything serious of course.

Oh and remember to have a great vacation.

I normally don’t get blisters from walking but I’ve got new hiking boots and didn’t wear the proper thick socks. Anyway I got this blister on the back of one heels and it stung in the shower. I immediately applied gel from a freshly cut section of Aloe Vera leaf this soothed the sting and now as I write this (next morning) I am just fine.

(Blisters that appear for no obvious reason (i.e. after a hike) may require attention from a doctor)
