Miraculous Aloe Vera

In last few years, Aloe Vera has become the most widely used plant. It is also referred to as “Medicinal plant” because of its healing properties. Whether you are consuming its juice for maintaining good health or applying its gel for skin enhancement, it is one plant that serves many purposes. Today almost every household have Aloe Vera planted in their gardens.

Aloe Vera provides some amazing health benefits. It is the gel inside the plant that is known to be the lifeblood because it contains nutrients and water. Aloe Vera is a powerhouse of over 90 minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other compounds that help in treating various medical conditions. Here is a few health benefits that this plant provides:

Dental health – Aloe Vera is used in making many medicines, cosmetics and dental products such as tooth gels, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Washing your mouth daily with Aloe Vera based products is a perfect alternative to the chemical-based versions. It contains good amounts of Vitamin C that are essential in blocking plaque and providing relief from bleeding swollen gums.

Relief from Heartburn – Studies have shown that consuming a small portion of Aloe Vera gel after or before mealtime can reduce digestion related problems like GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) which is a digestive disorder that results in heartburn. With almost no side-effects, Aloe Vera is a good remedy for indigestion.

Lower blood sugar levels – Aloe Vera juice is considered as a magical portion for Type-2 diabetic patients. Research and studies prove that drinking one or two spoons of aloe juice daily can lower blood sugar levels. However, one must consult a doctor before taking the juice because diabetic patients also take blood sugar lowering medications that can lower the blood sugar level to dangerous levels.

Natural Laxative – If you have frequent problems with constipation or digestion, then eat some form of Aloe plant which is considered to be a natural laxative which provides relief from digestion related problems.

Skin Care – When it comes to keeping your skin glowing and healthy, apart from taking healthy diet, aloe based products bring magical uplifts to your skin. Applying Aloe Vera gel, or Aloe Vera based cosmetic products help keep your skin hydrated and clear.

Just be cautious in consuming Aloe Vera products if you are taking some kind of medicines to avoid a reaction. Therefore, consulting a doctor is a must.
