The Benefits of Aloe Vera

Using Aloe

Aloe juice is very bitter. The gel is tasteless if you take care and remove any green on the gel.  Add it to fresh apple or fruit juice. The gel taste refreshing. 

Aloe is easiest to obtain in juice form, gel or tablets. You should be able to obtain the juice or tablets from the local health food shop or chemist.  Grow your own plants. They are easy to grow, but don’t like the cold. Use it in emergencies for minor cuts, or burns. Cut off one thick leaf and squeeze gel on the injury. The gel will form a quick protective, cool coating, easy to wash off. Its healing compounds will absorb into the pores. 

Peptic Ulcers

Twelve months into the study of Aloe’s effectiveness of healing peptic ulcers, it was reported that patients demonstrated complete recovery after ingesting one tablespoon daily of fresh aloe vera gel. It has been suggested that the aloe gel inhibits gastric acid secretion, possibly through the presence of magnesium lactate. This further prevents and treats peptic ulcers. The immune enhancing properties of the plant could benefit human immune response.
