The Health Benefits of Aloe Vera

The Miracle of Aloe page describes many of the ways to use Aloe vera gel externally. But so many of us also take it internally, as a drink.

There are a lot of internal conditions that can benefit from taking Aloe gel. Much of the evidence comes from ordinary folk who have tried it. Regretfully, it seems, nobody is interested in doing trials that will confirm or deny any of the claims by the millions who use it, except the odd university study, who almost always back up the good side in their conclusions.

But there is one thing to bear in mind. How many products do you have at home that have Aloe vera in them? Quite a few I expect. Doesn't that tell you something? Most of the companies that have jumped on this particular bandwagon, only put miligrams of the stuff in the product, just enough so they can put it on the label and make you buy it.

But that's not the point. The point is, no big firms that make medication are interested in researching Aloe, because how can they justify selling you a £20 pill, if a £1 sip of Aloe every day will do just as well? Admittedly, that's not true in every case, but I wouldn't mind betting, enough to make it significant.


Special Note: I know of a lot of people who take their Aloe gel as pure gel scooped from the leaf, chew it up and swallow. I don't advocate this, for two reasons.
1.) IF, and I do mean, IF, you have a reaction, small or large, you have taken the gel in its strongest form. The question is; is a reaction more or less likely when taken this way? It is my opinion, and just MY opinion, to first ask the question, 'why take the risk?'
2.) It matters not how you take your medication. Whether its a small low dose aspirin, or a strong, high dose Co-codamol or tramadol. What's the advice that goes with it? Take with plenty of water. Why? To water it down? No. To make it transport into the digestive system and blood stream, to make it get to where it's going in the shortest time. So whether you take our frozen cubes of Aloe gel, or order vacuum packed leaves to extract your own gel, my advice is to water it down and make it into a drink, so that the body can assimilate it in the best way possible.
