Aloe Vera for Your Health and Skin

Aloe vera is a species of the Aloe plant, which is part of the lily family. This plant is originally from West Africa but is now a common household plant in many countries. Its leaves are fleshy and cactus like. They contain a thin clear gel that people often use to soothe minor skin problems,

First and foremost Aloe Vera is classified as an herbal bitter. The bitter portions of the plant also known as anthraquinones are located just under the outer leaf. So if you drink the Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice Concentrate – still containing the bitter yellow sap as nature provides in the plant itself – you will receive this wonderful digestive bitter. Be aware that products that state they remove aloin and aloe emodin are void of the bitter properties from Aloe Vera.

Pure Aloe Vera extract is actually a combination of many different vitamins and minerals. Working together, these vital nutrients help give aloe vera its healing properties. The gel inside the aloe vera plant can be applied directly to the skin or hair, and the juice within can be drank to help flush out built-up toxins from within the stomach and gut. Many people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome have achieved terrific results when drinking aloe vera juice for approximately three weeks.

Aloe Berry Nectar: To create our Aloe Berry Nectar, we begin with all the goodness of our Aloe Vera Gel, and then add a refreshing twist of apple and cranberry juice concentrates for a flavour your whole family will enjoy! Don't let the great taste fool you, Aloe Berry Nectar is a nutritional powerhouse! Aloe Berry Nectar adds vitamins C and A, as well as potassium and real cranberry juice to all the nutrients of our Aloe Vera Gel. Try it, you'll love it!

Many people have experienced the healing powers of the Aloe Vera plant when applied topically to a cut or burn. Yet the reason it works is not commonly known. Research shows us there are five natural occurring anti-inflammatory agents that exist along with growth factors located in the plant. They work together quickly to relieve pain sensations, reverse scarring and speed healing miraculously! The healing magic of drinking Aloe Vera is also supported through scientific research and ancient writings of traditional use of the plant.

Aloe Vera juice is famed for its ability to clean the liver. It's a gentle cleansing herb which naturally helps to clear inflammatory heat from the body whilst supporting gentle detoxification of the liver. It is used to protect the digestive system, treating common problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and is renowned for it ability to reduce intestinal inflammation.

Aloe Vera Skin Gel with no water added on the skin twice daily to restore the acid pH needed for healthy skin. Apply the Skin Gel after washing the face and body properly. Aloe Vera is an astringent which closes the pores. Apply a moisturizer after the skin gel to maintain proper protection of the skin and prevent over production of the oil glands. Aloe helps to reverse scarring. Avoid constipation by drinking plenty of water and eating scrubbing vegetables such as carrots and celery or apples.

Aloe Vera is a naturally cooling and nourishing plant renowned for maintaining youthful looks, healthy skin and balanced digestion. It has been used for thousands of years for its healing properties and is one of Ayurveda's most potent cleansing and rejuvenating elixirs. Aloe Vera is an amazing versatile plant - it truly is nature at its finest.
