Agave | Agave spp.
Known as the 'century plant' for its slow growth and long lifespan, agave can be applied topically to soothe cuts, burns, and skin irritations. Its gel-like consistency acts as a natural moisturizer, making it beneficial for dry or irritated skin. When used internally, agave has a mild laxative effect and can help ease digestion. In the form of agave syrup, it serves as a low-glycemic sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugar levels as quickly as refined sugar.
