Aloe Vera is also known as the “crocodile’s tongue”
plant in Indonesia. It is called so because the leave is thick, long and sharp,
and the sides are serrated like the body of a crocodile. Aloe vera is planted
in dry areas and in warm climates. It takes little water to grow.
Aloe Vera is a short-stemmed succulent plant
growing to 60-100 cm tall. Spreading by offsets, the stems are thick and
fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the
upper and lower stem surfaces.
Aloe Vera is a multifunctional plant. It can be
used to cure a wound caused by burning. Using aloe Vera to heal the wound is
easy and simple. Pick the leaves, peel the rind, then squeeze the sticky liquid
and spread it over the wound. Aloe Vera also can be made into healthy drink to
prevent rheumatism and diabetes because it contains vitamin and minerals.
Generally, the drink helps to repair the damaged cells and makes the organs of
the human body work well. Aloe Vera can also make our hair thick too. Apply it
over the scalp and massage it gently so it could soak thoroughly. Ten minutes
later, rinse the hair.
