Aloe Vera

Many people now have this highly beneficial plant in their houses, so if you are yet to have one, get it. Aloe Vera plant has a gel, which has been used in ancient remedies for a wide variety of ailments including kidney infections, upset stomach and improving beauty.

However, if you are unable to get an Aloe Vera plant, then try purchasing a 100% Aloe Vera gel, not some Aloe-based ointments or lotions. These gels are available for purchase in several local pharmacies. [2]
