Aloe Vera : its benefits
Aloe Vera has been used for a very long time for its internal healing virtues: intestinal disorders, acidity, constipation. Because of the emollient effect of the gel, it is often recommended to treat occasional constipation. Aloe vera is also used in cases of diarrhea for its antibacterial, soothing and healing effects on the intestine.
Research has been conducted with patients suffering from intestinal diseases such as mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. The results indicate that after 4 weeks aloe vera was more effective than placebo in improving the condition of the patients.
One to two tablespoons per day, pure or added to a juice, is usually enough to ensure optimal health of the digestive system.
Naturopaths have long recommended the ingestion of aloe vera.
