Medicinal Uses Of Aloe Vera

The most common use of Aloe vera is for medicinal purposes. When you step or touch a plant like poison ivy, Aloe vera, is the cream that can releive the itching and take care of the rash. It is also used on someone who has cut themselves, burned themselves, or has a skin condition called eczema. It is alleged that sap from Aloe vera eases pain and reduces inflammation.

Fenugreek

Fenugreek is used both as an herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seed). The leaves are used to make the herbs and the seeds are used to make the spices. The name fenugreek or foenum-graecum is from Latin for “Greek hay”. The rhombic yellow to amber colored fenugreek seed, commonly called Methi, is frequently used in the preparation of pickles, curry powders and pastes, and is often encountered in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent.

Morning Glory

The morning glory flowers are funnel-shaped flowers, which open at morning time, allowing them to be pollinated by hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other daytime insects and birds. When dusk falls they are pollinated by the hawkmoth. The flower typically lasts for a single morning and dies in the afternoon.

Aloe Vera

The medicinal properties of Aloe vera have been known, and recorded since anyone can remember. It has been used for a variety of ailments, and as an ointment for burns, cuts, and rashes, as well as an ingredient in various beauty preparations. One of the most common uses that we can remember using aloe is when we were children and we somehow kept falling into those poison ivy plants.
