With plants that help maintain the vitality of our skin, preserving its elasticity and beauty, which grow in the wild and on well-groomed summer cottages, we got to know in the slightest degree. Are there any such assistants on our windowsills, which are just a stone's throw away?
Agave
As far back as I can remember, a thorny plant with juicy appetizing leaves has always grown in our house, which simply asked to be tasted. But, as soon as you slightly bite an evergreen leaf, bitterness filled your mouth, and you had to rinse it out for a long time. But, just as in childhood we stubbornly went to the same film about Chapaev, hoping that next time he would certainly swim out of the cold water of the Ural River, so we wanted to bite the Aloe leaf again and again, hoping that the next time since he will not be so bitter and justify his appetizing appearance.
In the African expanses, Aloe grows higher than a five-story building, however, such houses are not built there, and therefore they simply admire the tall plant and use its healing leaves. On our windowsills, it behaves more shyly, although it grows actively, not requiring attention and special care.
Has healing properties
fresh leaf juice … To obtain biogenic stimulants that help to improve metabolism in the human body, increase resistance to microbes and viruses, enhance the regeneration and resorption of inflammatory processes in living tissues, the juice or cut off leaves of aloe are removed in a dark place for 12 days. At temperatures from plus 4 to plus 7 degrees, darkness turns leaves and sap into these especially active substances.
Biostimulated by the darkness, the juice of the leaves of the Centennial prevents the appearance of early wrinkles on the skin, if you wipe the skin with this juice a couple of times a week. In conjunction with castor oil (obtained from the fruits of Castor oil), the juice is used to treat skin lesions from X-rays, sun or household burns.
Centennial juice is especially appreciated in the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatoses.
Kalanchoe pinnate
An ornamental houseplant with a short lifespan. In the fourth year of its presence on Earth, having shown its flowering to the world, the plant dies. But, during his life, Kalanchoe manages to "give birth" to such a huge number of baby leaves that the plant does not face degeneration.
Fleshy decorative
leaves for a long time they have earned human attention, showing healing abilities. An amazing combination of useful components in them is recognized even by official medicine.
Fresh leaf juice has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to heal the most persistent ulcers and wounds, all kinds of burns or frostbite of the skin, bedsores of bedridden patients, rashes and eczema, abscesses and dermatoses, get rid of calluses, prolong the youthfulness of the facial skin.
Yeast
Although yeast is not a representative of the plant world, but belongs to the world of mushrooms, that is, it is somewhere between plants and animals, combining the characteristics of both, but they are always available in stock for any housewife who loves to regale her household pies, pies, pies or homemade bread.
These unicellular mushrooms are not only suitable for baking, but they are also ready to serve for the benefit of human skin. The baker's pressed yeast mask tones the skin, makes it smooth and elastic.
Yeast mask suitable for oily and dry skin. But in order to turn the yeast into a mass that resembles thick village sour cream, different travel companions are needed for different skin types. For oily skin, additional warm boiled water or hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) is required, and for dry skin - milk, cream or vegetable oil. For 20 grams of yeast, take 1 tablespoon of the desired travel companion.
