The Health Benefits of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera gel is often thought as having one specific function: cooling and helping to heal sunburns. In fact, Aloe is an amazing plant with a wide ability to aid in the healing process, to protect, moisturize, and even extend life. It was used in ancient times for medicinal purposes, and its relevancy has not diminished today. Aloe’s usefulness continues to grow as scientists study its properties and possible applications.

Aloe Vera is a cellular regenerator and has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects. These properties alone contribute to Aloe’s place as one of nature’s healthiest products. WorldwideHealth.com’s Health Library lists magnesium lactate, an itch inhibitor, in the minerals contained in the plant. Therefore, in bringing relief to insect bites, acne, sunburns, rashes, and other topical conditions, Aloe makes sense.

But what about the less frequent uses of Aloe? Should Aloe be considered as an addition to diet and lifestyle? Aloe can purportedly do so much more than soothe irritated skin. Taken internally, it can be used as a laxative and to destroy certain bacteria or parasites in the intestines. Unsubstantiated claims include that it can help heal ulcers and settle a queasy stomach. There are a dozen uses for Aloe that have been integrated into modern alternative medicine, and scientists have been able to study some of these claims.

Dr. Timothy E. Moore’s research on Aloe and dental health at the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) describes gel from the plant as having the ability to heal, control the accumulation of fluids, and reduce pain. He has also found that in denture patients, aloe can reduce inflammation and discomfort caused by fungi and bacteria. Other uses include post periodontal surgery and on cracks and lesions found inside and outside the mouth.

In a study performed by the Department of Physiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center, lab rats were given a 10% greater life span by ingesting Aloe. The animals showed lowered occurrences of various diseases including arterial thrombosis and leukemia. In addition, no adverse side effects were found in the rats on a diet that included Aloe.

While anyone considering alternative medicine to treat conditions should consult their physician first, Aloe may be a viable remedy for various ailments. Through observation and further tests, scientists have proven that the healing effects of Aloe extend beyond merely soothing sunburn. Future studies should bring credibility to other claims of Aloe’s diverse medical benefits.

Yeah it helps dry skin , i mixed it with vaseline and it made my skin so soft and i had lyk no dry skin. It worked better for me than clinique moisturiser!

Chloe Adisson answers:

Your own body is very efficient at doing this on it’s own. Detox diets, flushes and cleanses are scams, not without risks.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Anyone interested in detoxifying their body might think about paying a little more attention to their body and less attention to the people trying to get their money. The body already has nature’s most effective detoxification system. It’s called the liver. The liver changes the chemical structure of foreign compounds so they can be filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, which then excrete them in the urine.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Wow…medicines have an active life and I would suggest helping stay healthy by keeping hydrated and resting. Baths might help alleviate some of it. There are alternative medicine suggestions for detoxing like teas at health food stores that may help.

Chloe Adisson answers:

To detoxify one’s body of drug use, it takes time. First, the drug use has to stop. Secondly, one has to wait until nature rids the body of remnants of the drugs in one’s system. Drink a lot of water to purify the body. Cranberry juice can also help cleanse the kidneys of infection.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person’s mood, cognitive function or health. The effectiveness of aromatherapy is yet to be scientifically proven, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential.

Since some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-microbial effects, it has been suggested that they may be useful for the treatment of infectious diseases. The evidence base for the efficacy of aromatherapy used to treat medical conditions remains poor with a particular paucity of methodologically rigorous studies

Chloe Adisson answers:

A compress is a very basic form of treatment which entails the folding of a piece of material, bandage or small towel, into a pad by wetting it and applying it to the areas to be treated.

HOT : Hot compresses are used to treat old injuries, muscle pain, rheumatic pain, menstrual cramps, boils, and toothache.

COLD: Cold compresses are used for new sprains, bruising, swelling and inflammation, fever and headaches.

I think your question is as simple as you think, you could go on to explain how to make a hot and cold compress as well as what oils you would use for your choice of application.

Cheers.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I’m really not sure about how to prevent this since the only downfall of essentail oils (at least in my book) is that the aroma fades.

I’ve never tried any of these, so I don’t know how they’d work, but here are my suggestions:

Add some of the whole herb to the pillows. Add the essential oils to the herb first, and let it sit in a closed container for a few days and then add the rice. I’m not sure how many more heat-ups this would last for, or if there would be some problem with the herbs (mold? Although, it’s dry so that probably wouldn’t be a problem) in the pillow, but if there were herbs inside, this would help “fix” the oils, and also when a person is using the pillow, the herbs would get slightly crushed, releasing their own scent. I use lavender (whole herb, without e.o.s) in mesh bags in my drawers and a little squeeze of the bags helps refresh the scent. The ones I’m using now are about two years old, and they still smell nice, but I’m not using them with heat.

Add orris root powder. Again, you’d add the oils to the powder and let it sit, then add the rice. This is used in potpouri as a fixitive, so it might work for your pillows. It has a slight flowery smell, but you could make it work with your oil blends. You could even try the whole herb, plus the orris root powder with the oils before adding the rice.

Sell your pillows with a little bottle of refresher oil. You can find small vials online. This would work well, but I don’t think it would be cost effective for you. I just wanted to add it in as something to think about.

I hope one of those works for you. It makes me really happy to hear about people making natural products and actually caring whether or not they work!

Chloe Adisson answers:

You need isophrophyl alcohol for that. Wanted to add its also a lot cheaper as well.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Any health food shop does aroma therapy. The brand shouldn’t really matter.

Try a 1-3 day juice fast, drink only unsweetened natural fruit and vegetable juices along with plenty of water. Add a little salt especially if you are sweating a lot. Moderate exercise is ok but don’t overexert yourself.

If you feel like you need extra colon cleansing then include prune juice, but be prepared to spend a lot of time in the bathroom getting “cleansed”

Chloe Adisson answers:

Karl, it sounds like you have fallen victim to dodgy marketing in dodgy ‘natural health’ magazines or websites. There is a good reason why this stuff is only promoted by non-medical sources – because its mostly baloney.

‘Detox’ has no meaning outside of the clinical treatment of drug addiction or poisoning. Our bodies have evolved to get rid of unwanted substances very efficiently via the liver and kidneys; this function is not something you can improve upon with alternative medicine products, special diets, fasting or saunas. There is no plausibility or evidence to support the claims of alt med ‘detox’ proponents. If you truly have poisonous levels of toxins accumulated in your body, then you would be extremely ill and need a hospital.

At the end of the day, ‘detox’ as promoted in alternative medicine, is both a fad and a scam. Just because you may see ‘detox’ products in pharmacies it doesn’t mean they are valid; pharmacy chains in general don’t care, they are after profits.

Just do a plain non fat yogurt and water for a couple days thats wat i do to cleanse when i am not feeling too good or need to drop a couple pounds but i dont know how good it cleans the digestive track

Chloe Adisson answers:

Its junk. The reason they turn black is becuase a mixture of vingar and salts are inside of them and it reacts to the oils in your body.

They are a waste of money, look them up on MSN webpage, they did a study of them.

Chloe Adisson answers:

No, it will not help to clean THC out of your system and aside from the water, that’s not going to detox at all.
Niacin is a simple B vitamin that gives a “flushing effect” to your skin… Not to your body. It makes your skin turn red (it makes your skin flush) because it helps with circulation. It won’t burn your intestines (unless you’re highly allergic to it), especially in that low of a dose… But it might turn your skin bright red.
Cranberry juice just helps to make your urine a bit more acidic so it can help to cleanse out a Urinary Tract Infection… It doesn’t specifically detox your body.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Hi! Even you are on the diet and following the protocol, you mus not starve yourself like eat some just don not make your self eat as much as you want, just simply eat an amount that you’ll cravings will be satisfied, just don’t starve yourself, and besides you have your maintenance.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Yeah changes in your diet will make you miss your period or for it to come early…i was on a diet once before (mine didnt work) lol and my period came about 10 days late but went back to normal after a while i wouldnt worry to much about it

Chloe Adisson answers:

Go with the lower calories if you wish. Never go below 1200 per day.
Hcg is a ridiculous and dangerous phenomenon sweeping the country right now. It will only last until the FDA steps in and prevents doctors from prescribing the hcg for unapproved use. It is not approved for weight loss.
The drops are all fake and a waste of time. None contain true hcg but some similar amino acid.
See the two links below before proceeding. You have done so well!
Please don’t fall for the hype and fork over your money to someone selling “hope”.
