(38,414 posts)Did something to my right foot. About an inch above my third toe from the big toe. I took one of those huge gauze pads, (4 x 4 inches) soaked it in Aloe Vera Gel, put the pad on the spot that hurt, covered that and within a couple of days the pain in the foot became much less. (I had to reapply the gel twice each day).. I did that a few times, and the pain subsided to a point where I stopped thinking about it. Yes, occasionally it bothers me, but there is no doubt that the gel promoted healing. The gel is an ancient healing technique that can heal. It was discovered by Native Americans living in the southwest and in Mexico. Aloe grows as a weed down there, and is available to all for almost no cost. I got a one gallon jug of the stuff at that leading cheap very huge retain chain..(don't want to mention it..people don't like it here..) for about 7 to 8 bucks. Yes, reduces pain, heals rashes, and promotes healing of body parts. Someone said you can drink it, (it is not poisonous)..but I do not know. Since it is really a weed, no one has got a patent on it, and it is cheap. Yes, if you have a good sun exposure, you can grow them in a window that gets lots of sun...Good Luck to all...
