5. Aloe Vera
Have you ever seen an aloe vera plant? Most people haven’t, though if you have then you’ll see why you don’t want to harvest aloe vera for yourself: The plants are particularly spiky, and generally known for being one of the most bitter substances you’ll ever encounter. In many cases, aloe vera is used as substance to detox and purge the body from any toxins – you can even find it as an ingredient in many nail-polishes that supposedly stop people from biting their nails, due to the extreme bitterness of aloe vera!
Of course, you don’t have to eat the plant for it to be good for you; these days you can find aloe vera in plenty of forms at your nearest health or drug store, including in the form of tablets, juices or creams.
If you’re looking to get rid of stretch marks, then go for creams that are loaded with aloe vera – or simply include some of the plant’s juice to your face cream.
