It is called aloe vera and can now be found in a variety of forms in nearly any grocery or drug store. Now that homeopathic remedies are becoming more popular, aloe vera has come to the forefront of natural medicine. While there is one use that you may be familiar with, it has healing qualities for many different ailments.
The most popular and commonly use for it is in the treatment of burns, particularly sunburns. While you can purchase aloe vera gel in nearly any pharmacy, experts believe that spreading it directly from the plant onto your skin is even more effective. Simply open one stalk of the plant and spread the inside gelatinous substance onto the burned skin. Not only will the gel reduce your pain, but it will decrease the chance of scarring over time.
It is also available in juice and capsule form to fight internal inflammation. Those individuals who suffer from gastritis and even arthritis have found a reduction in pain and swelling. The natural ingredients found in aloe vera, when taken internally, go straight to the source of your inflammation.

Secret of my healthy hair...


All girls love their hair, I too love my hair.
Today I am sharing how I keep my hair healthy, silky & shiny.

I wash my hair thrice a week

Oil massage - I use almond oil, jasmine coconut oil and olive oil. As we all know olive oil is very thick oil so I mildly reheat the olive oil and mixed the other oils in it. After mixing it I apply the mixture to my hair root with the help of my fingertip and simultaneously I massage the scalp. When I am done with the scalp massage I apply the rest of the oil to all over my hair. Usually I do this process at night and next day I wash my hair with shampoo and also apply conditioner. Well I use Garnier Fructis shampoo & conditioner. You use shampoo which suits you don't change your regular shampoo. I do this process twice a week.

Egg - I apply Eggs once a week on my hair. I take three eggs but it depends on your hairs length and thickness that how much egg you will require. I remove yolk (yellow part of the egg) from albumen (transparent part of the egg) and mixed the olive oil in albumen. Don't heat olive oil otherwise albumen will convert into an omelet .. LOL. So after mixing olive oil and albumen; I apply the mixture into all over the hair. When I have done with it  I wait for two hours. After that I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner. It makes my hair smooth, silky and shiny.

This is a secret of my healthy, silky shiny hair.... :) Hope the information is worthy for you all.

Enjoy!!!
