ALOE VERA
Tired of indigestion and heart burn after meals?
Most of us are familiar with the use of Aloe on sunburns, but did you know
that you can use it internally as well? Aloe Vera is actually one of the
best herbs to soothe your digestive tract. Aloe Vera is a succulent
(cactus-like) plant whose inner sap has been used as an herbal medicine for
thousands of years. If you break open an aloe leaf you will find a clear
jelly-like substance inside that can be used both externally on the skin and
internally to help your digestion.
Used medicinally for over 5000 years, it's known for its calming effects on
your digestive system. If you have digestive upset, like bloating, gas, and
heartburn or GERD, you would benefit from taking Aloe Vera because it
soothes the lining of your digestive tract. Those with chronic digestive
conditions such as ulcers and colitis would greatly benefit from aloe's
healing properties. It reduces inflammation in your digestive system, so it
helps with the pain and discomfort that accompanies many digestive
conditions. So if you suffer from any intestinal inflammation, digestive
upset, or acid reflux, Aloe Vera can be a very helpful herb for you.
How does it do all this?
Aloe Vera gel is known as a demulcent. It contains a high content of
mucilage which helps soothe and protect irritated or inflamed internal
tissues of the body. The discomfort felt with many digestive complaints is
often the result of irritation to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract
that usually results in inflammation. The mucilage content of Aloe Vera
helps support the mucous lining of our digestive tract so irritation and
inflammation are reduced. In doing this, many digestive complaints can be
totally resolved.
When the plant is harvested, the juice located in, and just beneath, the
outer skin contains a far greater concentration of a constituent called
aloin, which can create a laxative effect in the body. This substance is
called the latex. In fact, many over the counter laxatives in North America
contain this ingredient. Thus, Aloe juice is a laxative that can be used for
Constipation and as a colon cleanser. The gel does not contain as much of a
laxative effect and is more commonly used for its soothing properties. Those
using Aloe internally should be careful about the preparation they use, in
order to ensure that they get the desired effects without any unwanted side
effects. This is especially true in cases of Inflammatory Bowel Disease,
where an irritating laxative can do more harm than good. Read labels
carefully to ensure that you are purchasing the form of Aloe that your
particular case requires.
Other Uses for Aloe Vera
External Use - Skin
Aloe Vera gel has been found to contain anti-inflammatory properties. When
it is used externally it speeds the healing of many types of skin burns,
including those from sun, radiation, chemicals and heat. It can also help to
reduce the discomfort associated with these conditions, when applied soon
after the trauma. Although it does not directly protect against sun damage,
Aloe can help to prevent skin cancer after exposure by blocking certain
pro-cancer pathways in the affected cells. Aloe vera has also been shown
useful when used topically to treat: cuts, insect stings or bites, acne,
poison ivy, skin ulcers (including diabetic ulcers) and eczema. There is
some evidence that topical application can help to reduce outbreaks of
genital herpes and psoriasis as well.
Cosmetic
Aloe Vera contains two hormones: Auxin and Gibberenllins. These two hormones
have the ability to help reduce inflammation and speed the healing of skin,
and is commonly added to face washes to help treat acne. Aloe is often used
in a wide variety of cosmetic and skin-care products as a gentle
antibacterial moisturizer. Many men will use aloe vera gel as an after shave
to help soothe the skin and treat small cuts caused from shaving. Aloe also
contains beta carotene, vitamin C, and E which are considered to be helpful
in keeping the skin firm and hydrated. It has been widely approved around
the world as a natural food additive.
Antibacterial and Antifungal
Because of its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, Aloe vera
gel is commonly used to protect damaged tissue from infection. It can also
be used to topically treat minor Skin Infections such as boils, and Tinea
infections. When taken internally it’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
properties act to heal the inner lining of the digestive tract, making it
useful in the treatment of ulcers, hemorrhoids and colitis.
Blood Sugar and Fats
There is some initial evidence that Aloe may help to improve blood sugar
control in diabetics, and can also help to lower blood lipid levels in
people suffering from hyperlipidemia. This effect is also seen in those with
acute liver disease. More research needs to be completed to determine if it
is effective.
How can I get Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is often recommended for those suffering with acid reflux, ulcers,
or any inflammatory bowel condition. Aloe Vera can be taken as a gel or
powder in capsules or in liquid form as a juice. In capsule form the dose is
200-300mg 1-3 times daily with meals. And liquid form is taken 1-2oz, 1 – 3
times a day. Aloe Vera is frequently combined with DGL (deglycerinated
licorice), probiotics, and L-glutamine which all help with inflammation in
the gut and optimize digestive health. Be sure to take oral Aloe away from
other supplements and medications as it can affect their absorption.
So if you have problems with your digestive system such as indigestion, acid
reflux, ulcers, colitis, or GERD, you may want to try Aloe Vera. Many
cultures of the world have used Aloe Vera for thousands of years to heal and
support these areas of your body.
