Aloe Vera for Your Mouth and Lips


On the health and first aid side of aloe vera for your mouth:


Are you plagued by persistent mouth ulcers? Well another one-up for aloe vera gel, as research has been showing, it is effective for helping to ease the painful stinging and burning associated with mouth ulcers, as well as the ulcers themselves. Aloe vera has been used as an herbal remedy for mouth ulcers and easing the pain of those that suffer from it for quite some time, but some backup with a study is welcomed news!


For some relief and to speed up healing of mouth ulcers, try aloe vera juice extract as a mouthwash three times a day.And on the beauty side of aloe vera for your mouth, is a great moisturizing, homemade recipe for lip gloss!


Ingredients you’ll need:

2 tsp petroleum jelly

2 tsp aloe vera gelly

8 drops of your favorite flavored oil (coconut, mint, etc)

Mix all indredients well in a small microwave safe bowl, and heat for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes in the microwave. Remove bowl and stir again, then pour into a small container with a lid. Let it cool completely before using.

Note that this is lip gloss, and not a lip balm. If your lips are chapped, use some olive oil to help those lips first, as it works very well on chapped lips. Petroleum jelly is not the best to use, and this recipe does have it.
