Aloe vera – benefits

Aloe vera – benefits

An article by Alexandru Brad

Everybody heard about aloe vera benefits in home remedies or in alternative medicine. Maybe some people try aloe and got benefits. Many people can’t follow drugs prescriptions, and how they have to cure the diseases they fight with? Just follow some alternative treatments, even aloe vera treatments… But how, where, what, how much time, and what cost? Are these alternative cures (like benefits of vegetables, vinegar, aloe vera …, medicine plants like tilia, mentha piperita, matricaria chamomilia, ecc.), proved with scientific results? 

What we have to know basically about aloe vera, I discovered in very good two sources. In Wikipedia “Aloe” page, I found that the benefits of aloe vera are deep in history, from Ancient Egipt – Cleopatra has used aloe for her beauty, Greeks or Romans used aloe for treat wounds, or in the Middle Ages people used the yellowish liquid of aloe leaves as a purgative. Aloe is a genus with 400 species, but only three of them till now have great benefits by being used in alternative medicine. The most valuable species of aloe are: aloe vera , aloe perryi and aloe ferox. 

Aloe vera type is in the top used in alternative medicines and in-home first aid (many people today use at-home aloe-lives liquid, especially for skin lesions). The second source about aloe vera I found in the presentation of the e-book: “Aloe – Your Miracle Doctor” written by Yulia Berry – the author and health researcher. In this presentation, I found that the modern research proved that aloe vera has many medicinal effects. Taken externally aloe helps with many diseases like: acne, sunburns, thermal and radiation burns, gum sores, dermatitis, edemas, hemorrhoids, wounds, eye inflammations, skin disorders, etc. Taken internally aloe helps for: gastritis, arthritis, cancer, tumors, ulcerative colitis, diabetic diseases, arteriosclerosis, heart disorders, etc. Aloe vera is used also for beauty remedies as anti-wrinkle masks for the skin, hair loss, acne, etc. When I discovered all these benefits of aloe vera, I just wondered if it is a good decision to have my own aloe vera plant. Isn’t a great idea?.. I advise other to achieve this miracle plant for homemade remedies. And why not, let’s change the name of our planet to Aloe Vera Terra. For the moment I have a great wish to study more about Aloe Vera and start to develop a huge culture of aloe vera in my backyard…
I hope this article opens your interes in aloe vera benefits. 

Thanks for your time reading this article.
