The Health Benefits Of aloe Vera Gel

The health benefits of aloe vera gel are numerous. Taken both internally and externally aloe can be a valuable part of any healthy routine. It has been used historically as a soothing balm,applied externally for cuts, scrapes and burns.

The health benefits of aloe vera taken internally include:
*heals ulcers
*improved circulation
*blood sugar regulation
*regulation of blood pressure
*heals internal tissue damage*reduces itchiness in psoriasis
*strengthens the immune system
*defends the body against bacteria
*promotes healing of bones and joints
*improves and even eliminates constipation

Drinking two to four ounces a day is all that is required to gain the many benefits of aloe vera juice. Taken daily aloe can aid your digestion, improve your circulation , cleanse the blood, detoxify your body and cleanse your colon.
Aloe vera can also act as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent, helping to prevent the onset of disease in the body. Taking aloe vera juice daily helps to maintain good health and provides a sense of wellbeing and increased energy.
I have been taking aloe vera gel daily for almost 15 years. It has helped me control the severe cystic acne I suffered from as a teen ager, it has helped me maintain a 70 pound weight loss and I feel it has kept from getting colds and flu in all the time I have taken it.
You can find aloe vera gel at any health food store.
It is tasteless and works well mixed with juice. It can take some getting used to because of its thickness...aloe vera juice is another alternative..
As with anything you want to find an organic raw aloe vera product to use.
I know some people who just buy an aloe plant and tear off a stalk to suck on every day.
Whichever option you pick you are sure to see some benefit from this wonderful plant.
