In Mesopotamia, clay tablets dated 1750 B.C.E. showed that aloe vera was being used in a pharmaceutical manner. Egyptian books from 550 B.C.E. mentioned that infections of skin could be cured by application of aloe. In 74 B.C.E., a Greek physician wrote a book in which he stated that aloe could treat wounds, heal infections of skin, cure chapping, decrease hair loss, and eliminate hemorrhoids. Around 1200 B.C.E. aloe vera was used as a cathartic medicine. The aloe plant has yellow flowers. The leaves are arranged in a rosette configuration; they are triangular and spear-like and have thorny ridges. The most mature leaves are on outer part of rosette. Aloe vera was first cultivated for pharmaceutical distribution in 1920.

Both fresh and commercial aloe preparations were found to contain high levels of lecithin-like substances. Lecithin is a hemaglutinating protein that binds glycoproteins and decreases anti-inflammatory properties.

How’s practicing going? Are you spending time each day to practice RET, EFT and affirmations? When you make yourself a priority, then everything else falls into place.

When we lose our connection to God, to ourselves, then we get off track. The answer is very simple! Spend time with yourself each day and focus on you.

Do you make excuses why you can’t spend time with yourself? Do you come up with all sorts of reasons why you couldn’t do it?

Take some time right now and write down excuses you generally use when you don’t focus on you? Example: I couldn’t exercise because I had to do laundry. Just name everything you use as an excuse. If you have weight issues, I guarantee list will be long.
