THE VERSATILE ALOE VERA

THE VERSATILE ALOE VERA

The Aloe Vera is an amazingly versatile plant which contains a multitude of applications for health and beauty. You'll be surprised at how many powerful benefits God built into this multi-purpose succulent. For example, did you know the pain from a burn subsides within 30 minutes if you immediately apply a small amount of Aloe Vera gel on the area? If you continue to apply it 3-4x daily until the site heals, the scar pretty much disappears. No kidding! I've never seen a pharmaceutical accomplish this, or as safely. Too numerous to mention all of them, I list many useful gifts of the Aloe Vera plant below:

  • powerful antioxidant
  • anti-inflammatory
  • promotes fast wound healing
  • relieves pain quickly
  • high in vitamins like A and C
  • moisturizes and calms skin
  • protects skin from UV radiation damage
  • helps digestion, beneficial in acid reflux and GERD
  • prevents and heals stomach ulcers
  • relieves constipation
  • promotes kidney health
  • aids in regulating blood pressure
  • significantly reduces levels of blood glucose, insulin, and cholesterol
  • helps regulate weight gain
  • has anti-cancer properties

ALOE VERA -- A SUPERFOOD

Incredibly, this talented little plant contains over 200 nutrients including a slew of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential amino acids, and other components beneficial for great health. It's a true superfood! I love that you can apply it topically or take it internally as a juice or capsule supplement.

FOOD AS MEDICINE

No need to search far to add Aloe vera to your daily diet or medicinal herb collection. You can readily find it in your neighborhood supermarket, favorite health food store, or website. Aloe vera as a gel, live plant, or in capsule form is inexpensive and again, extremely safe since it is natural. So no worries when it comes to side effects. As always, I'm a firm believer in choosing God's ways and means for healing our bodies. He is our Creator, after all, and knows exactly what we need to maintain good health! (See Psalm 104:14.)

BEAUTY IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

When you have "mature" skin like me, you naturally take greater pains to preserve a youthful appearance! Since drinking Aloe Vera juice, my skin is noticeably smoother. My regular skin routine also involves applying natural foods like honey, coffee (for facials), and moringa oil. Yes, I do have wrinkles, but I'm truly pleased with my skin, almost as much as when I was much younger. You might want to consider adding to or replacing your commercial skin lotions and serums with natural "food" products, too. Another great advantage: it's obviously way less expensive!
