Is it better to use Aloe Vera Gel as hair gel than regular hair gel?

Aloe vera holds better and lists hair gel as one of its many uses. Is it more safer chemically to use it than a gel that is specifically meant for hair?

Ways to use aloe vera gel in your hair?

I heard that if you use aloe vera in your hair it makes it softer. And since there’s vitamin E in the gel I figure it would help hair growth, right? I just need a few ways to use aloe vera for your hair (how to use it, how long to keep it in, etc.) since i have a big bottle of it that’s being put to no use. Thanks!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aloe vera gel is very moisturizing. You can style with it, like a regular hair gel, or put it in before you go to bed, and then wash it out in the morning.

Hcg Diet Drops Questions Answered

Share

James asks…

What kind of lotion can i use while taking the hcg diet drops.?

I know it has be a certain kind but I need names cuz I can’t seem to find any that fit the description

Chloe Adisson answers:

HCG was banned by the FDA last month as a fraudulent product for weight loss.
It doesn’t matter which brand, they are all out there just to take your money so it doesn’t matter which lotion you use.

Http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/2011/01/26/20110126fda-warnings-about-diet-drugs.html

Steven asks…

hCG diet drops, questions about losing weight?

Ok, i’m 18, 5′ 6″ and I weigh 180, I’m wanting to lose 40lbs.. If i take the hcg drops do the 500 calorie diet, and i’m lifting weights and walking. How much weight will I be able to lose in the first week??

Has anyone had success with doing the drops?

Chloe Adisson answers:

According to the “protocol” for this diet you are supposed to do minimal exercise with such a low caloric intake.
A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women’s urine and you get a miracle diet!
All over the counter hcg products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011. Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real hcg in them but most a similar synthetic hormone. I was in GNC two weks ago. They carry three brands of hcg drops and not one of them has any hcg in them. The well trained salesman even admitted it when I mentioned it. They contained “similar hormones” or amino acids.
Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The hcg acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.
The only approved use for hcg is to increase fertility in both men and women.
Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.
The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections can’t even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.
By the way, the expensive “clinical injections” are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn’t want to get an “all cash” practice going?
Check out these clips before going further. Just aired a few months ago.

Http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/weight-loss-controversy-hcg-diet-pt-1

So the question is are you willing to risk your health with an extreme diet treatment based on testimonial evidence as opposed to clinical research evidence, and the statements from doctors in this all cash business?

David asks…

What would happen if you drank soda or milk with the hcg diet drops?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Why are you drinking soda if you are diabetic?
Please throw the bogus HCG drops out thank you.

Joseph asks…

What lotion is it ok to use while using the hcg diet drops?

My sister said lotion wasn’t even necessary but I have really dry skin I need the name of any lotion that I can use

Chloe Adisson answers:

I’m doing the HCG diet right now following the 21 Day program from http://prohcgdiet.com As per the instruction I got, you can use lotion and make up during the HCG protocol. With all of your personal care and beauty products, you need to check the ingredients and avoid any products the contain food oils. Most solid deodorants contain castor oil, which is not allowed…. Currently I am using Pantene products for the hair. I changed my lotion to Neutrgena oil free face lotion but use this for hand and body lotion as well. I changed my soap to liquid Zest. I did not change my shave gel either. No issues that I can see and I get all products at Wal-Mart.

Donald asks…

HCG diet drops.Is there a difference in strength cause on ebay theres lots of different prices?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Better no to waste your money.
“500-calories per day is severely restrictive! In fact, it is not enough calories to support normal brain function. Your body will compensate by using stores of glycogen, protein (muscle) and some fat, which lowers your resting metabolism. Before you can lose true weight, you will be so irritable, lightheaded, and cranky that you’ll reach for whatever food you can get your hands on and have a field day.

There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

Nancy asks…

Is Lily of the Desert ?

I know it’s a dietary supplument and all..
But it’s 99.5% aloe vera..
Anybody know if this will help acne or make it worse?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Most of the commercial Aloe Vera products are so diluted that they are of little use to the body. Acne is primarily due to dysbiosis of the intestines and that is due to bad digestion that is rampant in the U.S. Today. The skin acts like a 3rd kidney and when you get lots of toxins building up in the intestines, you get the booby prize. It typically starts from your mom being very nutrient deficient in pregnancy and overloaded with toxins like mercury from her amalgam fillings that she passes onto the fetus through her umbilical cord to you and you end up toxic as a result and nutritionally deficient. If she doesn’t breast feed, you don’t get good immunity and then you get the VACCINATIONS that pollute your blood to the point where you simply don’t have a chance to build good immunity.

Now, you take an antibiotic to “kill the germs” (thank you doctor) and this kills the good bacteria in your intestines that make up 75% of your immune system you have already not developed well. You get the booby prize of getting ACNE. Then biofilms are produced that keep you from really getting rid of the acne and you use those typical topical creams and lotions that help control it somewhat, but they just keep coming back.

Acne is just one of many things the average American will suffer from as they age due to the garbage food being eaten and the bad advice from the so called “experts” that have no clue what they are talking about. Meanwhile, you suffer, believing those guys know what they are talking about.

The highest quality Aloe Vera product you can buy is called, “Aloe Arborescense.” This product is concentrated and contains other things that will clean up ALL the mucus membranes in the body like nothing else. It really works. But you also need to fix your diet, take the Aloe, and go after those biofilms with some very special herbs.

Good luck to you

John asks…

Does using Aloe Vera Gel help acne?

I am using Hawaiian Tropic Aloe Vera gel for acne on my face. What do you think?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aloe Vera Gel has been used for centuries both the skin and other ailments.

Aloe Vera consists of ingredients such as gibbenelin and polysaccharides, that stimulate the skin and help with healing acne affected areas.

There are Acne-Aloe-Vera solutions that can help with healing and further prevention of skin problems affecting both adults and teens. Aloe Vera treatments may be used topically to restore skin that has become inflammed and have been proven to help those afflicated with skin problems improve their condition and promote healing of scar tissue formed by excessive swelling. Scar tissue left on the face or upper body can be improved by use of Aloe Vera gel.

Detoxify Or Die Questions Answered

Share

Lizzie asks…

Can i put water conditioner in plain tap water and put fish in it?

will they die if i don’t wait 3 weeks for the water to detoxify itself? or can i fill it up, put conditioner in, and put a convict in? without it dieing.
oh and i Live in the seattle area so the water is pretty good.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes.
What you should do is treat the tap water with prime, stress coat, amquel plus, Weco Instant DeChlor or any other conditioner that will make tap water safe for fish.
Your gonna need to remove chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals that can be toxic to your fish.
I personally use and prefer weco instant dechlor since you only add to tiny drops per gallon and then stir it a little and then let it sit for 10 minutes and then Pour the treated tap water in your tank. The best part is the little ounce last about 1000 gallons and it was only 2.50 dollars at my local pet store.

Sandra asks…

What do I do if my goldfish has been poisoned by chlorine?

I just bought a new aquarium, goldfish, gravel, everything but forgot to add the thing that makes chlorine go away. He has only been exposed to the chlorine for at most 2 hours and I realized this when he stopped moving but he’s still breathing. I put him into a bowl of detoxified water and I’m trying to get him to recover. What can I do or is he already going to die from being exposed?
He survived.

Chloe Adisson answers:

First, before adding fish you should of cycled your tank. Since you already added your fish you must do a cycle with fish. Learn about the nitrogen cycle here: http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm

The link above is very helpful. I would get water conditioner as soon as you can and add it to his tank. Then it should be more safe than before, although it isn’t cycled.

A common goldfish needs 75 gallons when fully grown, and a fancy goldfish needs 30 gallons with double filtration, (ex: 30 gallon tank, 60 gallon filter)

Good Luck, and Hope this Helps.

Ruth asks…

9 days till the wedding and I’ve broken out in a red rash!?

It’s 9 days until my brother’s wedding, and I’ve broken out in a rash of red dots all over my chest and neck. I thought they were pimples, so I tried using more acne medicine (I have oily, troublesome skin to begin with) and it just made it worse. I tried using only dove soap and aloe to give my skin so time to heal, it just got worse. I tried cucumbers, cortizone cream, every home remedy I could find online. I’ve even been drinking a gallon of water a day to try and detoxify my system. NO DICE!
I’m supposed to perform at the ceremony and my dress is strapless (and beautiful) but I’m ready to throw it away and wear a bag over my head.
Any tips on either getting the rash to lessen/disappear or any types of makeup that will cover it without making it worse?

Thanks!!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Use dermablend make up you can get it at ULTA

Mark asks…

any fruitarians around?

A friend sent this to me ~ Pretty Interesting!

Eating Fruit – this opened my eyes.

Dr Stephen Mak is a friend of mine at the BSF course. He treats terminal ill cancer patients by “un-orthodox” way and many patients recovered. He explains to me before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn’t die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.
Thanks and God bless.
Dr Stephen Mak

EATING FRUIT…

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil….

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don’t even drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ‘sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down

Chloe Adisson answers:

This sounds very suspicious. I do not disagree for a moment that fruit is very good stuff. However, much of the reasoning in this sounds a lot like pseudoscience and quackery.
Examples:

“Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this??”
No. Frankly I am cannot. The causes of cancer are very complex and to make such simplistic statements is nonsensical.

“Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.”
These are extremely large and general claims. Since they seem too good to be true, they probably are.

“If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. ”
As for the last point. Note also that claims like ‘happiness’ and ‘health’ are very vague and would be difficult to prove anyway.

“If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.”
Why should it need to mix with the saliva? Why would that help? Saliva breaks down starch into sugar. It also begins the process of breaking down fats. Most fruits have insignificant starch and fat content. So, what would saliva do to be so beneficial.

I must say that I tend to eat fruit before eating anything else anyway. Not because of all this nonsense. Just because, while I am getting the water boiling for macaroni, toasting bread etc, I eat it as a snack. Will doing so magically ward off cancer? I doubt it.

Mandy asks…

Why are humans the only species that pollutes to the detriment of life? Can’t blame that on God can we?

Since all other life on this planet is unaware of wastes they create,…….then why is it never a detriment to earths ecological system?

It is a living mechanical circulatory system isn’t it? It shows there is an organized design of a Supreme Creator.

Most animals and fish contribute waste to their environments that are essentially the same as human waste (fecal matter laden with bacteria and reduced compounds). If the population of an environment exceeded the capability of the environment to neutralize or at least tolerate those wastes, certain organisms will begin to die. This limit is known as the “carrying capacity” of the environment. In general, nature is wise enough to not naturally reach this limit in most instances, such that most systems can self regulate themselves and avoid reaching this limit.
There are examples of individual organisms that can excrete specific pollutants or toxins into an environment, usually as a defense mechanism. There are also plenty of examples of organisms that can detoxify and store pollutants from an environment in their bodies, making the overall environment “safer” (until the organism dies, at which point some toxins can be re-released to the environment).

Chloe Adisson answers:

People always think they know best until they find out they have made a total mess of things. Then they still persist oftentimes. Selfishness and greed often cause these problems and the foolish thought that everything will sort itself out. A radical rethink is often what is needed and appropriate action to follow.

The LORD God has given us such a beautiful world yet so many do not value it until it’s too late.

Aromatherapy Oils Questions Answered

Share

Michael asks…

aromatherapy oils?

can “organic 100% pure X oil” (lavender, ylang ylang, eucaliptus…etc) with “aromatherapy” written next to them be used on my skin and hair?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yes. If you want to use it on your skin such as for massage, you should add carrier oil like : sweet almond oil, jojoba oil or avocado oil.

The ideal would be 7 – 10 drops of essential oils combine with 15 – 20 ml of carrier oils. This blends should be safe for the beginner. 7 – 10 drops oil can be combined from 1 – 3 kind of essential oils.

If you want to find blends recipe for skin and your hair, you can visit :

George asks…

Is it ok to use Bath and Body Works aromatherapy oils in a diffuser?

I was wondering if I could use a Bath and Body Works aromatherapy oil in my diffuser. It uses an air pump to disperse the oil into the air in a fine mist. I noticed on the Bath and Body Works website it says that the oils should be used with an oil warmer.

Also, I couldn’t find out if the oils were 100% essential oils. Could they still be used regardless? Does it even matter? Sorry, I’m new to oils and diffusers!

Chloe Adisson answers:

No. It looks like, from their website, what they sell is “home fragrance oil” and “massage oil.” The former is a blend and not essential oils. The latter is diluted with what is called a carrier oil. Either of these can stop up and ruin an expensive diffuser.

True essential oils are obtained from plant oils and have healing properties. Some are anti-fungal, bactericidal, anti-spasmodic and so forth. What you have smells good but is made from petrochemicals, highly refined oil obtained from the ground–some is made into motor oil, gasoline, etc. It has no healing properties & may even be damaging.

Go to the health food store & buy pure essential oils for your diffuser. Start with lavender–it is one of the least expensive, least likely to cause allergic response even in babies, and most versatile. Lavender is a muscle relaxer & used for burns, insect bites, diaper rash, headache (applied to temples or back of neck), muscle spasm & pain. If you want to get rid of bad odors in a room, try orange or lemon in the diffuser, both also really economical.

I use Now Foods brand, Aura Cacia, Starwest & Mountain Rose (buy online). All are reasonably priced & reliable companies.

Ken asks…

Can I use aromatherapy oils as hair care oils? Are they essential oils or different?

Hi, I want to use some oils for my hair because I’ve read it is really good for your hair, but I can’t find most of the oils where I live, but I have found aromatherapy oils, are they de same?? can I use them for my face too? Because I feel like they are different in some way, I’m pretty new to all of the oils stuff, so I don’t really know. Thanks!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Some are. They will not do much for the hair but the are really good for the scalp like peppermint, rosemary, tea tree. I would use a regular oil and maybe mix a few drop of Essential oil. Olive oil can be found anywhere. Essential oils are also expensive. Vitamin shoppe sells oils and so does any health food store. If you still can not find some they do sell them on the internet if you order things off the internet.

Steven asks…

how and where can we purchase essential oils and aromatherapy oils?and how mch is the cost?

and what kind of aromatherapy oils do you have?

Chloe Adisson answers:

Overall, the effects of essential oils may be divided into two basic groups. Some essential oils have actual physical effects. For example, eucalyptus oil can be inhaled to help clear sinuses and the respiratory tract. This would obviously relieve some symptoms of an upper respiratory infection (URI). Some oils may be used topically (directly on the skin, where they would usually be absorbed by the body, or on a wound) to possibly relieve swelling or fight certain infections.

Maria asks…

Are there any aromatherapy oils that can alleviate the pain of migraine and headaches?

I have always found aromatherapy oils very effective for dealing with non-emergency problems but cannot find any help when it comes to migraines or headaches…
Thank you :)

Chloe Adisson answers:

I’m a massage therapist and use many essential oils. I also suffer from migraines, and i keep a little tissue dripped with lavender inside my pillow case. It helps me to relax, which causes me to be able to sleep better.
Here is a listing of what I keep handy. Hope it will help for you.

Aromatherapy for Headaches/Migraine
You can find an essential oil recommended pretty much “for whatever ails you.” For our purposes, we’ll be looking at those oils most often recommended for headaches, Migraine, depression, panic, anxiety, sleep. The chart below lists some of the oils recommended for these needs. Here, also, is a list of ten oils suggested for getting started with aromatherapy. Some experimentation will tell you which combinations work best for you.

Carrier Oils For Headaches/Migraine
Sweet Almond
Apricot Kernel
Avocado
Coconut
Sesame
Lavender
Peppermint
Bay
Melissa
Jasmine
Eucalyptus
Rosemary

For Depression For Anxiety/Panic
Orange
Bergamot
Lemon
Lemon Verbena
Lemongrass
Melissa
Petitgrain
Orange Blossom
Chamomile
Grapefruit
Mandarin
Orange
Juniper
Fir
Basil
Cedarwood
Ylang Ylang
Sandalwood
Frankincense
Clove
Clary Sage
Patchouli

For Relaxation/Sleep 10 To Get Started
Bergamot
Chamomile
Lavender
Mandarin
Sandalwood
Frankincense
Clary Sage
Juniper
Marjoram
Jasmine

Sweet Almond
(Carrier)
Peppermint
Chamomile
Lavender
Lemongrass
Bergamot
Eucalyptus
Jasmine
Frankincense
Clary Sage

Think about your headaches/Migraine attacks. Do they make you feel depressed, anxious, or panicked? Do you need to sleep, but have trouble? Choose some of the oils from the chart, mix one or more with some carrier oil, and give them a try. You can wait until you need them, and mix a small amount in the palm of your hand, or you can mix the oils ahead in a bottle. For example, I tend to experience anxiety and panic during the headache phase of a Migraine attack. I’m also prone to drop or spill things, so I premix oils in a small, roll-on bottle. My Migraine and relaxation/sleep blends are:

Migraine Blend

Fill bottle approximately 2/3 with Sweet Almond Oil
6 drops Lavender Oil (headache/Migraine)
6 drops Clary Sage Oil (anxiety/panic)
6 drops Chamomile Oil (sleep)
12 drops Peppermint Oil (headache/Migraine) Peppermint is also very helpful for nausea.
Cover top with finger and shake. Check the fragrance of the oil. If it is unpleasant to you, add a few drops of whichever oil you prefer to make it more pleasant.
Fill any remaining space in bottle with Sweet Almond Oil, insert the roller ball, and cap the bottle.
To use: Apply to temples and areas of pain. Massage lightly. You can also roll some onto the back of your hand

Relaxation/Sleep Blend

Fill bottle approximately 2/3 with Sweet Almond Oil (For this one, I use a small glass bottle with an orifice reducer — a plastic insert for the opening that allows the oils to come out a drop at a time.
6 drops Lavender Oil
6 drops Bergamot Oil
6 drops Chamomile Oil
Finish filling bottle with Jasmine Oil, 10% in Jojoba Oil. (Pure Jasmine is very potent and very expensive. The 10% formulation is commonly used.)
If you don’t like the fragrance of Jasmine, substitute an amount of Mandarin oil to achieve a pleasant fragrance, then fill the rest of the way with Almond Oil.
Insert orifice reducer into top of bottle, then cap.
To use: Variety of uses. Sprinkle a few drops on your pillow, massage your temples, etc.

Aloe Vera Juice Benefits Questions Answered

Share

David asks…

Aloe Vera Juice Benefit? What are the Benefits of Drinking Aloe Vera Juice?

I would like to know for sure what are the health benefits for drinking aloe vera juice. I need solid comments and no BS, please. I found a website that gave me lots of information at http://squidoo.com/aloe-vera-juice-benefit
but want to hear what others have to say. thanks in advance.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The website you mentioned is an awesome site. I can’t think of any more information that you might need.

My own personal experiences with aloe vera juice has been great. It has cleared up my IBS symptoms, helped me to lose weight and has healed my stomach ulcers.

Store bought aloe juice is not as potent as making your own, so I would suggest to review the site you mentioned a learn how to juice the plant yourself.

Another good site is http://www.aloeandyou.com

Here are just a few more tips that you might like:

Here is a list of the top ten benefits of drinking aloe vera juice:

1. Detox

With our stressful lives, the pollution around us and the junk foods we eat, we need to detox and cleanse our systems. Drinking aloe vera juice provides a rich cocktail of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to help our bodies deal with everyday stresses.

2. Natural Immune Support

Aloe vera is full of anti-oxidants – natural immune enhancers which fight free radicals within our body. Free radicals are thought to cause various ailments, as well as speeding up the ageing process. Drinking aloe vera juice regularly gives the body a continual supply of anti-oxidants, which may boost and enhance the immune system.

3. Healthy Digestion and Digestive Problems

A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the foods we eat are absorbed fully into our bloodstream. Aloe vera juice has natural detoxifying abilities. Drinking aloe vera juice seems to improve bowel regularity and increases protein absorption, while at the same time decrease unfriendly bacteria and yeast – all naturally. Aloe vera has shown it can help reduce and soothe heartburn and other digestive upsets.

4. Reduces Inflammation

Aloe vera juice contains 12 substances which can slow down or inhibit inflammation, without any side-effects. Some people say that drinking aloe vera juice helps with their stiff, swollen or painful joints.

5. Regulates Weight and Energy Levels

Aloe vera juice naturally allows the body to cleanse the digestive system. Our diets include many substances which can cause lethargy and exhaustion. Taken regularly, aloe vera juice ensures a greater feeling of well-being, allowing energy levels to increase and helps maintain a healthy body weight.

6. Daily Dose of Vitamins & Minerals

Aloe vera juice contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 (the aloe vera plant is one of the few plants in the world to contain vitamin B12), C, E, Folic Acid and Niacin. The human body cannot store some of these vitamins, so we need to supplement them regularly through our diet. The minerals found in aloe vera include Calcium, Sodium, Iron, Potassium, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium.

7. Collagen and Elastin Repair for Healthy Skin

Drinking aloe vera juice adds a rich supply of raw materials to your diet, which can produce and maintain really healthy skin. The skin replaces itself every 28 days. Using the nutritional building blocks of aloe vera, the skin can use these nutrients daily to help combat the effects of ageing. Aloe vera also helps in soothing minor burns, cuts, scrapes and skin irritations.

8. Amino Acids

The human body requires 20 amino acids to build protein; 8 of these amino acids are ‘essential’ which means the body can’t make them itself. Aloe vera contains 19 of these amino acids, and 7 of the essential amino acids. So drinking aloe vera juice tops up your body’s daily supply.

9. Dental Health and Hygiene

Aloe vera is extremely helpful for your mouth and gums. As well as its natural anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions, it contains vitamins and minerals which promote cell growth and healing. There are some toothgels available which contain a high level of pure aloe vera, which may help with bleeding gums and mouth ulcers.

10. Better than Supplements

Recent research has shown that adding good foods to our diets, with naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, is far better than adding supplements alone. The good news is that Aloe Vera juice is considered a food, rather than a manufactured supplement, so our bodies can absorb all the nutrients more easily, and utilize them more effectively.

The have long been known. It has been used historically as a soothing balm, applied externally for cuts, scrapes and burns. Modern uses of aloe vera are extensive.
