Aloe vera – benefits
An article by Alex Brad
Everybody heard about aloe vera benefits in home remedies or in alternative medicine. Maybe some people try aloe and get benefits. Many people can’t follow drug prescriptions, and how do 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 the benefits of vegetables, vinegar, aloe vera …, and medicine plants like tilia, mentha piperita, Matricaria chamomilla, etc.), proven with scientific results?
What we have to know basically about aloe vera, I discovered in very good two sources. On the Wikipedia “Aloe” page, I found that the benefits of aloe vera are deep in history, Ancient Egipt – Cleopatra used aloe for her beauty, Greeks or Romans used aloe for treat wounds, or in the Middle Ages people used 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 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 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 was a good decision to have my own aloe vera plant. Isn’t a great idea?.. I advise others 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 interest in aloe vera benefits.
Thanks for your time reading this article.
