You may have heard of aloe vera and used it as well. Many people apply it to hair or skin. Aloe vera is widely used in skin care products including face wash, and creams. But do you know that aloe vera's health benefits go even beyond that? Yes. A lot of people swear by aloe vera juice. Aloe vera is rich in protein and is also recommended for weight loss. Enlightening us more on the same is nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee. She shares the different health benefits of aloe vera through a post on Instagram.   

In the caption, she writes, “Did you know that the legendary Egyptian beauty Cleopatra used fresh aloe leaf gel to massage onto her skin? Aloe Vera has many health benefits, other than the fact that it is excellent for the skin.”

Anjali continues, “Aloe Vera is widely used in skin-care products and shampoos. The easiest way to access this magical plant is by simply keeping an aloe vera plant at home.” She says it can easily be potted and requires very little water and no care. This non-fussy plant grows better in the sun, but it doesn't mind the shade and never complains if the soil is poor, Anjali adds.
