ITS TRUE NOT A GIMMICK

Recently,I had a lot of ulcers on the left side of my mouth due to lack of drinking water and heatiness. I left them alone without applying anything at all. My left cheeck slightly swollen and my friends been telling me to apply bonjela ointment and eat hot and spicy food or apply salt on the ulcers itself. I ignored their advice because I knew it will be very, very painful. They healed on their own but it took weeks.

After that I had a couple of ulcers, now on my right lower lip and side of the tongue. Oh......man it was very very very painful. I couldn't talk properly, drink and even eat. The moment I woke up from my sleep, I could feel the throbbing pain and it was worst than toothache. I had difficult days and weeks because of the pain. I refused to apply anything at all but the ulcers didn't get any better but in fact they were getting worst, bigger, redder and more painful than before.

My colleague recommended me to apply aloe vera gel on the ulcer. She brought the aloe vera plant next day and taught me how to apply it. I cut a leaf and washed it and remove the prickly skin before slice it in half lengthwise. Then, I applied the gel directly on my ulcers two-three times a day. It had a soothing effect and I did not feel pain at all. After two days of applying the gel, I could eat, drink and talk as per normal and my ulcers were smaller and no longer affected me.

So, now I keep aloe vera plant and planted it in a pot for emergency.
