Here’s a short blog on natural things you can use on cuts or burns
- Aloe Vera, Aloe barbadensis
Aloe is a succulent native to regions of African and Meditrain. They like good drainage so their roots don’t sit in water and develop root rot. If you are to eat an Aloe Vera that you prepare from home; cut one end and soak it for at least 10 minutes then rinse it. The yellow sap that will come out is a laxative but too much ingested can cause stomach problems.
