Aloe Vera Benefits
Aloe vera is a plant
species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around
the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also
used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
It is found in many consumer
products including beverages, skin lotion, cosmetics, or ointments for minor
burns and sunburns. There is little scientific evidence of the effectiveness or
safety of Aloe vera extracts for either cosmetic or medicinal
purposes. Studies finding positive evidence are frequently contradicted by
other studies.

Aloe vera is a stemless or
very short-stemmed plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall,
spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to
grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower
stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small
white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 90 cm
(35 in) tall, each flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2–3 cm
(0.8–1.2 in) long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular
mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to
mineral nutrients in soil.
Aloe vera leaves
contain phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as
acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrone,
other anthraquinones, such as emodin and various lectins.

Aloe's Vera Benefits :
1. Aloe
vera amplifies the antioxidant effects of vitamins
This is an
especially interesting effect of aloe: It makes vitamin C, vitamin E and other
antioxidants work better! It actually potentiates antioxidants, probably due to
its effect on enhancing blood quality and allowing the blood to more
effectively transport oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells. In fact, it is
my belief that aloe vera makes everything nutritious work better due to
its blood-enhancing effects. If I’m right about that, it means aloe can potentiate
anti-cancer herbs, too, helping them more effectively target tumors.
Aloe vera
actually contains advanced biochemical technology that the drug companies can
only help to understand someday. This technology was built by nature, and it’s
100% compatible with the human body. All you have to do to experience this
technology for yourself is eat aloe vera gel!
2. Aloe
vera relieves joint and muscle pain
This effect is
directly related to the inflammation factor mentioned above. It works when used
both internally and externally. Essentially, aloe reduces overall inflammation.
Of course, is you continue eating a pro-inflammatory diet (red meat, milk,
sugar, white flour, fried foods etc.) then you’ll never get rid of all your
inflammation with aloe alone, but aloe can help ease your pain while you
transition to a healthier lifestyle that eliminates the inflammation for good!
3. Aloe
vera stabilizes blood sugar in diabetics
Diabetic
patients who take aloe vera for 3 months experience a significant drop in
fasting blood sugar levels. They also exhibit lower cholesterol levels and
slight improvements in total cholesterol. Numerous clinical studies have been
published that demonstrate aloe vera’s antidiabetic properties. Diabetics are
also likely to benefit strongly from aloe vera’s blood enhancements (see
below). Since aloe reverses “sludge blood” and boosts circulation to
extremities, diabetics suffering from peripheral neuropathy (hands and feet
going numb) are likely to benefit strongly from aloe vera supplements.
4. Aloe
vera lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
When used internally,
aloe vera gel improves the quality of the blood and helps rebalance the blood
chemistry in a way that lowers cholesterol and total triglycerides (in people
with elevated levels). When you consider that blueberries are also powerful
cholesterol-lowering medicines, you realize why the Good Cause Wellness Aloe
Vera + Blueberry product is such a smart idea: Both ingredients lower high
cholesterol! Plus, this is far safer than using statin drugs, which have
extremely harmful negative side effects while depleting the body of nutrients
such as CoQ10.
5. Aloe Vera Skin Benefits
Aloe is one of
the most widely-used ingredients in high-grade skin care products. There’s a
reason for that: It’s great medicine for the skin! Aloe soothes the skin,
hydrates it, nourishes it and accelerates the regeneration of new skin tissue.
(In fact, simply removing the gel from a living aloe vera leaf and placing the
raw gel on your face is far superior to even the most expensive eye cream or
skin care product on the market.) And while most people are only familiar with
using aloe vera externally, aloe also enhances skin health when used internally.
Drink more aloe and your skin glows!
6. Aloe vera boosts immune function and destroys cancer tumors
Scientific research shows strong immunomodulatory and antitumour properties for aloe vera polysaccharides. That means the gel helps boosts immune system function while destroying cancer tumors. One study published in International Immunopharmacology (1995) showed that aloe vera polysaccharides exhibited potent macrophage-activating activities including producing increased volumes of nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).
7. Aloe
vera halts inflammation
Using aloe
topically is well known to ease inflammation of joints, reducing arthritis
pain. But aloe can also be used internally, reducing inflammation throughout
the body from the inside out. People who drink aloe vera for two weeks
typically begin to experience a significant reduction of inflammation symptoms.of
nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).
