Aloe Vera – Friendly Flora

Did you know that Aloe Vera is a flowering, perennial plant from the Lily family? I did not!

I do know that it is mainly known as a treatment for the skin, applied to cuts, burns, eczema, and the like.  The juice or gel from the Aloe Vera plant is used in numerous serums, cosmetics and burn creams. It is an essential ingredient in SkinAgain Healing Serums.

Another interesting use of Aloe Vera is in juice!  As a great “all purpose tonic” aloe vera can strengthen levels of energy and general well being. It can relieve signs of abdominal pain, peptic ulcer, upset stomachs and constipation just by drinking its juice. Taking two to four ounces daily of aloe vera juice can provide your immune system the necessary nutrients for cleansing the digestive system. Who knew?

Is aloe vera juice part of your daily routine? Do you make your own? Tell us about it!

Unsightly scars? Get a FREE product just by telling us your story!

We’re in the business of skin and it’s about time somebody talks about a huge factor in skin that is actually the culprit of many diseases and health problems, and yet one that is rarely taken into account in health care practices.

SCARS!

Did you know that when not healed correctly, a scar can cause many blockages in energy flow, circulation and nerve flow?  It’s true!  When scar tissue builds up internally inside of the fascia of the body, it can inhibit circulation of blood and lymph, range of motion, muscle strength and compromise organ and endocrine function.

If you have a substantial scar, it could be wreaking havoc on your health, and you may not even know it!

To a person who has been severely burned, and whose scar covers a massive part of their skin, this is scary . . . and uncomfortable.

Recently, here at SkinAgain, we had the privilege of personally attending a Burn Institute survivor support group.  We found it empowering to hear their stories of courage, pain and survival. Here are a few things we learned about the ongoing challenges they have with their skin.

·         They cannot use anything with perfumes

·         Many of the products are too greasy

·         They need a moisture lotion under silicon sheets that are replaced daily.

·         They need something to use under their compression garments (which they wear for up to a year).

·         Many of them have skin discomfort the rest of their lives.

·         The cost for these products is ongoing…months and years and insurance doesn’t cover any of this!

If you’ve been following us here at SkinAgain, you know that our ongoing charity efforts is going to include giving our product to severely burned persons.

We would love to hear from you too!  Please share your story.  We will pick a winner from the first 10 comments and send them one FREE SkinAgain pHo-tone, a specially formulated healing Serum with over 300 energies to help soften and heal scar tissue.
