Can aloe Vera gel help?

[monsterjay]

I'm told that Aloe Vera gel juice can help with lupus of the skin. Has anyone else heard or have experiences of this? thanks in advance.

Hi I use aloe vera gel to sooth my skin as I have other conditions, it really does help, but unfortunately currently due to the pyramid sales tactics of certain companies selling aloe products, there is some heavy selling going on. What I will say is that when I have severe psoriarsis it works very well to calm it, so I am never without it in the house. MaryF

I have been using the Vogel aloe Vera gel daily for almost 10 years on my feet & ankles which have the worst of my simultaneous raynauds & erythromelalgia symptoms, also joint & severe soft tissue symptoms, and get vascular rashes,

this gel is only part of the lifestyle management stuff I do, but it seems one of the most important to me. My hands have the same probs as my feet, but slightly less severely....possibly because I don't walk on them (haha) i.e. They bear less weight....but of course my hands also get covered in the gel while I rub it on my feet, so maybe the gel helps my hands too...

Hi yes I have used Aloe vera in the past another plant remedy I have used is calendula, derives from the primrose family I believe and I used to get creams and oils from the internet or Holland and Barrett stores, it made a big difference to me but do be cautious and patch test if you are going to try something new in case you are sensitive to it.

Good luck

I have an aloevera plant on my kitchen windowsill and simply cut a leaf off and slice open and apply directly onto my skin and keep leaf in fridge in a container for further use. I find it really helps in my case especially with itching.

oh dear how silly am I..... I have aloe vera gel in for my cat as she has alopecia and it helps her condition, but never thought to put it on my arm which is driving me mad with itching. Tonight I may have some relief. Thank you all x

Hi I say yes to it. I take because I was told it helps with inflammation and I have to say that my skin and inflammation has calm down a lot. I have found a shop that sells large bottles of it with mango and it's just a joy to drink , so if you can get it give it ago it's a nice drink even if it does nothing. Take care and all the best.
