The Best Houseplants to Improve Your Health
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera
If you suffer from skin dryness or spent too much time in the sun, aloe vera may be your savior. The gel inside this succulent plant can be rubbed directly on the skin to help with psoriasis, cold sores and sunburns, and even on the scalp to treat dandruff.
Care tip: Keep aloe next to a window for full sunlight. Allow soil to dry at least one to two inches deep in between each watering.
