Aloe Vera, also known as aloe vera, is a plant that has been used since ancient times. Civilizations such as the Romans and the Egyptians used it regularly in their daily lives due to the numerous properties attributed to it. Nowadays it is making its way into our daily lives but we have to know how to use it. This plant, of which around 300 different types are known, has one variant in particular that stands out from the rest. Its name is Barbadensis Miller and it is the most used variant in cosmetics and wellness products. Have you heard about the wonderful properties of aloe vera but can't think of how to benefit from them? Do you want to learn some different uses for aloe vera? Would you like to prepare home remedies with aloe vera and others with aloe vera gel? You're in luck because here you can learn everything you need about aloe vera, how to use it, and even how to make aloe vera oils at home.
What is aloe vera oil?
Aloe vera oil is obtained from a mixture of this plant and any type of oil that we want to use. The choice of oil will depend on the use that we are going to give to said mixture since each oil has different properties.100% aloe vera oil does not exist since this silver does not generate any oily substance, therefore, we will always need the help of other oils such as olive or almond oil, among others. To manufacture Aloe Vera products we must extract the inner part of the leaf. This internal part, which is where all the properties of the plant are concentrated, has a viscous and gelatinous texture. If we separate the bark from the inner part of Aloe vera we can see the absence of color in it, making it completely transparent to the naked eye.
Uses of Aloe vera oil
As we have mentioned previously, the combination of aloe vera with other oils is fantastic because it combines the properties of aloe vera with those of the oils with which it is mixed. The benefits of aloe vera are numerous and that is why it can be a good help against:
Acne
Spots on the skin
Dermatitis
Rheumatism, arthritis and osteoarthritis
Eczema and psoriasis
Insect bites
Stretch marks
Tired legs
Ulcers
Gastritis
Indigestion
Hair and scalp care
Depending on the oil with which we mix Aloe vera, we will use it for the different conditions that we have mentioned.
Oils with which we can mix Aloe vera
Olive oil. This oil for everyday use has moisturizing, regenerative and soothing properties, so the combination of both will serve to:
Hydration and nutrition. The properties of aloe vera for the skin are extremely beneficial, so aloe vera oil will help us prevent aging and alleviate its symptoms. In this way, it can be used, for example, as an eye contour.
Repair damaged hair. Moisturizing hair with aloe vera and olive oil helps us repair dry or brittle hair and prevent split ends. We can apply this mixture to our hair, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it. We can also use it as a treatment for split ends. We apply a few drops from the middle to the ends after washing our hair and in a few days it will look shiny and healthy.
Almonds oil. The soothing and nourishing properties of this oil along with aloe vera make it perfect for hiding stretch marks and reducing skin blemishes. It can be applied to sensitive or irritated skin and used for massage.Rosehip oil. This oil is nourishing, regenerative and healing. The combination of aloe vera together with this oil is a perfect treatment to calm the skin after hair removal or sun exposure. Therefore, it can be used as an after-sun or as a moisturizing body oil for daily use. In addition, it helps to hide and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.Rosemary oil. Rosemary has calming and anti-inflammatory properties, so it is widely used in massages. Mixed with aloe vera it becomes a perfect oil to treat injuries and muscle pain.Argan oil. It is a very moisturizing oily substance. Oil with aloe vera and argan can help us eliminate dry scalp. In addition, it will be very useful to prevent hair loss, strengthen and repair it.jojoba oil This oil alone has the ability to maintain hydration and eliminate oil, therefore, aloe vera and jojoba oil gives very good results on oily skin. It is also a perfect remedy to combat dandruff and flaking of the scalp, as well as excess sebum that it may have.Tea tree oil. It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and stops the appearance of sebum on the skin and hair. However, it can be somewhat abrasive if we apply it directly to the skin. This, added to the intense smell it has, can be somewhat unpleasant. Therefore, it is advisable to reduce tea tree oil with aloe vera for acne. Together they also form a perfect combination to treat other problems such as herpes or warts.If what we want is an oil for massage or aromatherapy, we must use Aloe vera oil together with natural essences.It is very important to highlight that before buying or manufacturing our remedy we must ensure the origin of the ingredients. That is to say, natural and ecological aloe vera is much more effective than that which has been treated with artificial products that can affect our health. The same goes for the rest of the ingredients. For example, in the case of olive oil, extra virgin oil will not have the same effectiveness as one that is not pure.
