    (Aloe Vera). the juice exuded from aloe leaves is used as a purgative or
    cathartic* for persons of sedentary habits and phlegmatic constitutions,
    but requires the addition of carminative to moderate its tendency to
    constipate. It is also extremely bitter to the taste. Because it is such
    a soothing liquid, the juice is also used externally in many cosmetics
    for healing stubborn X-ray burns, all sorts of skin problems, sunburn*,
    burns and insect bites. Grow it in your kitchen for immediate access in
    case of burns.
