Following on are more powerful and interesting facts on the benefits and health properties of Aloe Vera gel…

Aloe Vera gel benefit: Lessens the painful effects of Shingles

The Aloe Vera gel lessens the painful effects of Shingles. Applied gently to the
painful lesions that characterize this condition, Aloe Vera gel acts promptly to soothe these sores and provide relief from itching.

It also works to decrease the chances that the blisters will become infected.

Aloe Vera gel benefit: Reduces symptoms of Psoriasis

Aloe Vera gel reduces symptoms of Psoriasis. The ability of Aloe Vera gel to
promote healing and quell itching and pain offers relief to those who suffer from this troubling condition.

In a recent study of 60 people with chronic Psoriasis, slightly over 83% of those who applied Aloe to lesions three times a day for eight months experienced substantial improvement. Only 6.6% of those using a placebo benefited from its effects.

Aloe Vera gel benefit: Eases heartburn…

Aloe Vera gel eases heartburn, diverticular disorders, and other types of digestive upsets.

The Aloe Vera gel acts as an anti-inflammatory and can be taken internally as a remedy for certain digestive complaints.

Clinical trials in Japan indicate that certain compounds in Aloe Vera reduce the secretion of stomach juices and the formation of lesions.

Aloe Vera gel cleanses and detoxifies the digestive system and this has an
influence on other bodily organs and systems. It contains magnesium lactate
which appears to lower stomach acidity thus reversing the effects of indigestion and heartburn.

Aloe Vera gel benefit: The ‘amphoteric’ effect

Aloe Vera gel is an “amphoteric” as it can treat opposite conditions by either raising or lowering levels of hydrochloric acid as required. Low hydrochloric acid levels are common and contribute to allergies.

Note: An amphoteric is a substance that has characteristics of both an acid and a base and is capable of reacting as either.

Aloe Vera gel benefit: Helps heal stomach ulcers

Aloe Vera gel is also very effective for people suffering from stomach ulcers as it coats the stomach lining.

One of the major health properties of Aloe Vera gel is its ability to restore balance in the digestive system. It does this in a number of ways: It acts as an alkalizing agent, it reduces yeast overgrowth that can destroy the normal “friendly” bacteria in the gut and it penetrates the walls of the digestive system to remove harmful bacteria.

By restoring balance to the digestive system, restoring the beneficial “friendly” bacteria and reducing inflammation the body is better able to absorb nutrients.

This can and does have a huge impact on a person’s overall well-being and helps to fight many disorders not directly connected with the digestive system.

Another of the major health properties of Aloe Vera gel is its ability to raise energy levels and promote a sense of well-being in the individual.

Digestive system disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS),

Acid Indigestion, Colitis and Candida all benefit as well from use of Aloe Vera gel.

Organised medicine and pharmacology have not ‘yet’ embraced the numerous health properties of Aloe Vera because its usage
threatens hundreds of prescription and non-prescription drugs, and probably also as a result of the fact that it cannot be patented.
