Aloe vera and wounds:

Aloe Vera helps heal Wounds:


The bulk of the Aloe Vera leaf is filled with gel, approximately 99% water with the other 1% containing over 75 known nutrients.
Applied to wounds the Aloe Vera gel acts as a mild anaesthetic, relieving itching, swelling and pain.
It is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, it increases blood flow to wounded areas and stimulates fibroblasts - the skin cells responsible for wound healing.
