Aloe Vera

[HOLLY5]

please can anyone let me know if they have had any results with aloe vera and eczema?

thank you

bumping this as quite interested aswell.

Have had great results with Aloe Vera and broken skin.. heals brilliantly and stopped scarring. May be a similar thing??? (Scuse my ignorance but I don't know a heck of a lot about eczema, but know Aloe heals generally)

didn't find it helpful but I guess negative reports are useful too. Don't know of anything that seems to benefit everyone with eczema.

Didn't benefit me, in fact stung the skin a little.

Aveeno is what i recommend!

The best aloe vera to use is freshly cut one, always have a plant handy in the kitchen for all kind of cuts and burns, spots even used it when my son had chicken pox.

Products containing aloe vera usually dont work because aloe oxidises extremely quickly once cut and has to be stored in the fridge for a short time before it goes black and useless.

I would have never thought of that Neo - Probably going to make myself sound like a fool, but what do you do? Break a bit of the plant off and rub on the area or something?

Thats really interesting, do you know where to get seeds or plants?

This is true, but there is a product which has a patented stabilisation process to naturally preserve the aloe gel's essential properties. It is available in a tube as a gelly, which is great as an all-purpose first aid product.

There is also another product though, which is an aloe propolis creme (propolis is a natural anti-biotic, anti fungal substance which comes from beehives). Many people with eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions have found that it has helped them and it is mild enough to use as a nappy rash creme too.

My daughter (6) has eczema on her face. When the doctor prescribed a steriod creme, I just had to try something else.

We have had great results from giving her aloe vera drinking gel in a flavoured ice cube form (the plain gel is very 'plant flavoured'. There is also a peach juice version, which we haven't tried yet. Her little brother insists on having some aloe ice cubes too!

If you would like to know where you can get these products from, please let me know at [email protected] .

we have a aloe vera plant (they are easy to grow).I break off a leaf, then smear the jelly like stuff from inside the leaf onto sore skin, i use it on myself too as well as DS.

I use the juice from broken aloe leaves too on burns (usually from ironing -lack of concentration ) I have loads of babies on my plant and am going to repot soon so if anyone wants one to try then CAT me & I'll post you one.

Aloe is a miracle plant and provides fantastic healing for eczema, use the aloe cream with propolis (natural product from the bee hive)topically and drink the gel drink to help the immune system.
