Will it grow hair on a bald head ?

When I was a teenager, I worked in a furniture manufacturing plant. One of the machines there was used to automate the process of gluing wood together. The glue sprayer had become clogged and as fate would have it, I just happened to be walking by the machine when the pressure had built up enough to clear the sprayer. Hot glue shot all over my clothes, but it was the molten glue on my hand that really got my attention! Molten glue is a wee bit difficult to get off your hand when it’s covered in it. As a tough-guy teenager, I acted like it was no big deal, but actually, it was very painful. The shift superviser led me to his office where he had this plant. He started pulling the leaves off and squeezing the juice out of the leaves and onto my hand. I couldn’t believe how much better my hand felt! I asked, “what is that plant”? He replied, “it’s an aloe vera plant”. I’ll never forget that. Pain has a way of teaching me the most memorable lessons.

Thanks for the tip/reminder about the healing properties of aloe applied to the skin.

This is Sandy Eggo baby. Get a small aloe @ home cheapo. Put it in a big pot on your patio. Keep it watered. All the fresh organic aloe you will ever need…
