WHAT BENEFITS CAN YOU EXPECT: Aloe vera is called the burn plant, the magic healer, the plant doctor, the miracle plant, single bible, nature's original first aid kit. Aloe vera contains 200 nutrients in tiny amounts, but it is the combination that works so well. Vitamins (including B12), minerals and 18 essential amino acids. So your body can use these micro-nutrients to heal itself. HOW DOES IT WORK: Your body uses these micro-nutrients in 2 main areas: 1- The skin and epithelial tissue- the lining of all our organs is just like skin. So if we keep the skin outside healthy, it looks good and works well. If we keep the lining of all the organs healthy they work better. The lungs breathe more comfortably, the heart and blood vessels work well and carry blood better, the stomach and intestines are healthy and absorb food more efficiently. 2- The immune system is balanced What does Aloe vera do? Cleanses: gently washes and moisturises the skin when you put it on, helps the body to cleanse itself of toxins when you drink it Penetrates tissue: doesn't just sit on the surface, but moisturises deeply when you put it on or rub something in with it, and internally aids the absorption of nutrients and medication Anti inflammatory; takes the heat out of burns, insect bites etc on the skin, and joints - as in rheumatoid arthritis, and intestinal tract Analgesic: reduces pain (insect bites, nettle stings etc) joints and any other areas internally Anti-itch: particularily useful on skin after stings and bites. Also with eczema and psoriasis Antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial: useful to prevent and treat any infection either on the skin or internally. E.g. flu, ear infections, chest infections Speeds healing by about a third - especially burns, cuts but also post operatively Balances the immune system: so wonderful with rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, eczema, hay fever |
