Aloe To The Rescue

Sometime in May 2014, my son had an accident with a metal chair.  

 Apparently, a fellow classmate placed the chair over a doorway and it fell and hit him on his head as he was passing through. 

To cut a long story short – when he got home and told me that the school nurse had cleaned it for him and stopped the bleeding, I immediately thought of my trusted aloe. 

I cut a piece of aloe, removed the clear gel and cut a piece just wide enough to cover the cut area. He spent the rest of the evening with this on his head. The only time it was removed was to replace the dried out section with a fresh piece. It only took about a week and a half for the cut to heal properly so that he could get a haircut! 

Before it was normally a headache to get him to use the aloe on his face but after witnessing its performance on his head, I can hardly keep up with him now. Every day he wants to put aloe on this, aloe on that! Talk about aloe mania!

I've been teaching him how to cut the aloe and remove the gel. Now he's adding it to his juices.

Dear old aloe vera, just cannot do without it.  Thanks Nature!

Aloe Helps Wounds Heal Faster

I just wanted to share another use of the aloe with you. I normally put a slice of aloe gel in the container of drinking water for my dogs.

Well, recently one of my dogs had an urgent operation and you know how dogs are – licking, grooming themselves and it seemed that after a couple of days he somehow ripped out the stitches and was left with an open wound.

I called in the vet and he came that same morning and performed a little surgery on my pet. Do you know what he asked me for after the operation? Some aloe, yes, aloe vera – he said that it would help the cut to heal faster, and not only that but, with aloe on the area dogs don’t really trouble the wound because they don’t like the taste. But I argued that my dogs are accustomed to having aloe in their water so it may not work.

This is what he did – after stitching the wound, he applied the purple lotion, smeared aloe gel all over the wound and surrounding area, then sprinkled it with wound powder.

Of course, it worked. Two days later the swelling had disappeared and it was healing nicely. It seemed to me that the aloe minimized the itching also as my pup didn’t try to scratch it. A week later you wondered “what cut”? “where”?

There you have it, another aloe episode.
