I hope this continues to be effective. I often find a remedy that works for about a week, then just stops working. I bought the stalk at a farmer's market, it was $1.79/stalk. Is that a good price? I'm thinking if this works I will plant an aloe vera plant in my backyard!

I've used Aloe for sunburn, also to soothe sensitve parts, and drank it to heal the liver.


BUT for psoriasis, I'd just go to [ earthclinic dot com ] and see what they have, as I've learned plenty from that site that I never knew before.


Just type in psoriasis at the search and read, you'll be glad you did.

I buy the full leaves and grind the whole thing up in smoothies. When I use the aloe on my skin, I cut the leaf open with a knife, spread the leaf down the middle, and apply the inner gel to my skin. Aloe is extremely versatile.

Sure, why not. A friend has constant UTI's, it's age related in her case, and besides the UTI supplement she takes, she drinks small amounts of aloe vera gel juice and this manages her issue.
