It is good to use as a prevention for epilepsy, osteoarthritis, psoriasis x, asthma, burns, especially from the sun and so on. It is best to keep this plant in the sunny south or east side of the window because it is precisely the size of the plant and the amount of aloe in the leaves that is proportional to the amount of light that the plant receives.
