Aloe Vera is one of the healthiest plants on the planet and it can be divided into two basic products – latex and gel. This plant is great for various purposes and once you try it, it will turn into an everyday healthy habit.
Aloe Vera gel is a jellylike substance that you can take off the leaves and as for the Aloe Vera latex (or Aloe Vera juice), it is a yellow extract from the pericyclic tubules that are placed under the outer skin of the leaves. It can be used also a laxative.
It is important to make a clear separation because some aloe latex can be found in some aloe gels. The best thing would be to have really clear aloe gel because aloe latex acts as a laxative. The best way to find great aloe gel is to gather it right from a broken leaf of a plant.
You can use this gel for a variety of skin problems, such as minor burns, wounds, and skin irritations. Many skin care products contain this plant in them. Besides that, you can also use it for coughs, ulcers, cancer, arthritis, and even constipation.
