In severe cases, it may also cause damage to renal function. Aloe can also make female pelvic organs congested, promote uterine movement, pregnant women or women during menstruation easy to cause abdominal pain, increased bleeding and even lead to abortion.

2, when taking aloe vera, we should pay attention to: aloe vera is bitter and cold, so it is not suitable for frail people, children, pregnant women and women during menstruation.

Third, the culture method of aloe.

1. Temperature: aloe vera is very afraid of cold. It usually stops growing at about 5 ℃ and frostbite at 0 ℃. Therefore, the optimum temperature for aloe culture is 15 ℃ 35 min. Like other plants, aloe needs water, but it is most afraid of stagnant water. The humidity of 45% at 85% is most suitable for aloe.

2. Soil: aloe vera needs to be born in places with good drainage performance, so the soil can be mixed with some gravel when planting to prevent soil consolidation, reduce the water permeability of aloe roots and hinder root respiration. Try to use fertilizers containing phosphorus, potassium and some trace elements when planting, and organic fertilizers are more suitable.

3. Lighting: like other plants, aloe needs sunlight to grow. For the newly planted aloe, it is best to let the aloe see the sun in the morning and avoid being exposed to direct sunlight at noon.
