The Aloe Vera plant grows in practically every garden or pot. But do we utilize its full potential?
Alternative medicine uses Aloe for all sorts of health ailments – it is good for the health of the digestive system by supporting good bacteria in the intestines and repelling parasites and worms. It reduces blood sugar and cholesterol.

As Hair shampoo, it is very simple to use. Just scoop out the gel and rub it into the hair like traditional shampoo and then wash it away.
Hope the above has inspired you to use Aloe Vera much more . We are going to write about Aloe Vera cake and garden fertilizer soon, so watch this space.
Did you know that in Egypt, Aloe vera was referred to as “immortality plant” and native Americans referred to it as “Wand of the Heaven.” Aloe vera is so powerful, it is used to cure certain skin cancers and now there is a lot of research into its use in the AIDS and cancer fight.

Thank you for your inspiring talk at the Victoria Point Library which a friend and I attended last week. We have been sustainably conscious for many years, but still found your energy and enthusiasm reminded us of many things we had forgotten and got out of doing over time. You reconnected us to things and gave us so many new ides.
So I am back to sprouting, loving my little patch of garden,
Thanks again Tiiu von Kymmel
Oh I am going to try that as shampoo. I read about that years ago but never tried it.
