For example, garlic can be used to treat everything from infections to boost cognition; apple cider vinegar can ease indigestion and treat sinus infections.

The ancient Egyptians coined it ‘the plant of immortality’ and used it in a variety of ways.

It turns out that many of the health benefits that aloe is touted for have actually been backed by science. If there’s one homeopathic product you should have in your home, its aloe vera.
