About The Contest

This contest is really worth participate. We have seen and come across a lot of plants and trees in our life but we rarely do know about their benefits and uses. This contest will help every reader to know about the medicinal plants which have healing elements and ways we can use them for our benefits. And it will really prove very helpful for everyone at this pandemic time where everyone is suffering from something or other. Since we can't go out so why not to grow things indoor.
So I am thankful to @secretbeauty for organizing such amazing contests.

Let's start with the medicinal plants and their uses:-

1. ALOE VERA

I have read somewhere that the word aloe comes from Arabic word alloeh which actually means some shining bitter thing and the term vera was derived from Latin word veritas which means truth.
And if you have ever tasted the juice or the gel portion you will surely know why it is called so. But this doesn't mean you should stop drinking the juice because it has many benefits which can help your body in many ways.
