Life’s experiences can leave us with scars. From a young age we are exposed to various illnesses (chicken pox or measles) and accidents and acne that leave us with scars. They needed be noticeable for a lifetime however. There are some great herbal remedies to reduce and even eradicate scars. The scars we may endure from even minor burns can be treated with Aloe Vera a wonderful skin conditioner and anti-inflammatory.

People drink Aloe Vera and massage it into the skin. Aloe Vera eases the pain of burns and at the same time conditions the skin to promote new cell growth. One of my earliest memories of the use of this plant was at my grandmother’s home. We all lived in Florida at that time and Aloe Vera a tropical plant grew abundantly. She had a large plant in a pot in her kitchen.

She burned her hand one morning cooking breakfast; walked immediately over to the Aloe plant and broke off a tip of one of the leaves, squeezed the end and applied the gooey inside to the burn. Of course I asked what she was doing and she explained some of the wonders of this plant. I was so impressed that one could so easily find relief. There are cautions about using Aloe and one is not to apply it to open wounds.
