Grow Your Own Medicine Tree

One of Mother Nature’s most effective healers is aloe. When I lived in colder areas that frost and snow, I grew aloe in a wide pot with good drainage and placed it in the sunniest spot in the kitchen where it thrived with very little water. I am truly fortunate to live where it never gets below freezing so I have a towering aloe in the left garden corner that is growing to tree-like proportion. When anyone in the household gets a burn, a bug bite, a rash, a scratch, an itch or sunburn, I march back and grab a stem and apply the juice liberally. We use it as a medicine and as a beauty application for facials, hair gel, skin massage and feel so blessed that all this heavenly healing is utterly free of cost. Aloe propagates through baby plants sprouting off the sides which you can repot into little clay containers and give as kitchen witchery gifts to your circle to share the healing energy as well as protection and luck, a deterrent to loneliness and abets success. Grow in the home to provide protection from household accidents. Burn on the night of a full moon to bring a new lover by the new moon.
