<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Aloe Vera, the modest houseplant, is believed to be a wonder herb, being used for its medicinal properties since ages. This plant is found to be rich in nutrients that help improve digestion and even boost immunity. Aloe Vera application in gel form can also be used to enhance skin and hair health. In this blog, we\u2019ll discuss how this aloe vera gel can help you achieve a young, radiant skin and smooth, shiny hair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Extract Aloe Vera Gel<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore we get into the essential reasons and health benefits of Aloe Vera, let us first learn how to make Aloe Vera gel directly from the plant. If you have an Aloe Vera plant at home, select its thicker leaves or stems and cut it from the base. You may also pull its leaves from their bottom.\u00a0 Be careful as the plant has thorns ^{1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Next, use a sharp knife to slice the thorns from the edge of each leaf. Then slice the aloe vera stalk in half while keeping the gel side upwards. You may slice open leaves as well. Use a spoon to scrape the gel into a container. When all the gel is scraped out, refrigerate the container and store the gel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of ready to use aloe vera gels are also available in the market. So, if this process seems too tedious for you, you can just buy one as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now you can enhance summer skin health using aloe vera.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

Aloe vera contains the enzyme bradykinase, which is the active ingredient to suppress signs of inflammation, namely redness, swelling, pain, and heat when the gel is applied on the skin ^{5<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n}Dr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

$\"moisturizing$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Unlike regular moisturizers that are available in the market, Aloe Vera gel, when used as a moisturizing gel, doesn\u2019t leave a greasy film on the face and the skin. In fact, it does just the opposite by unclogging the pores and softening the skin.\u00a0<\/p>
