Honey
Use honey on a wound or burn! Honey is an effective natural antibacterial ointment that can help speed healing time and decrease the incident of scarring left behind when compared to conventional antibiotic ointments. Even bacteria growing in a biofilm, a thin, slimy layer formed by bacteria that affords resistance to antibiotics, were susceptible to honey.
Honey is also a great cough remedy. Mix 1 teaspoon of Honey with 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice and sip.

Aloe Vera
Often called the 'miracle plant' or the 'natural healer', Aloe Vera is a plant with many uses.
It is helpful with severe and various skin diseases. It has a rejuvenating action. It acts as a moisturizer and hydrates the skin. After being absorbed into the skin, it stimulates the fibroblasts cells and causes them to regenerate themselves faster. It's the cells that produce the collagen and elastin so the skin will get smoother and look younger.
And of course it is great for minor burns such as sunburn since it soothes and cools as well as stimulates the cells to regenerate and heal faster.
Aloe vera contains protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B12 and E, essential fatty acids and is naturally rich in vitamin C, enzymes, amino acids, and the mineral Germanium which has been shown to be beneficial for immunodeficiency, pain, cardiac disorders, circulatory disturbances and eye problems.
Drinking Aloe vera juice can reduce swelling and inflammation in arthritic joints. Taking internally, may also help those asthmatic patients who are not dependent on cortico-steroids.
Drinking it is also used to ease heartburn, ulcers, diverticular disorders, and other types of digestive upset.
It is said to be an excellent vaginal douche for Vaginitis.
n 1997, University of San Antonio researcher Jeremiah Herlihy, Ph.D., conducted a study to observe any negative effects of drinking Aloe daily. Rather than exhibiting negative effects, however, test animals receiving daily Aloe showed a remarkable reduction in leukemia, heart disease, and kidney disease. Dr. Herlihy concluded, "We found no indication of harm done to the rats even at high levels." In fact, the Aloe-drinking animals actually lived 25 percent longer than those in the control group (IASC Conference, Texas, 1997).
