Benefits From Aloe Vera

Digestive help 

Aloe latex contains aloin, which is an anthraquinone that gives aloe vera its laxative properties and may help treat constipation. In this Aloe vera can be consumed in form of juice.

Treating skin 

psoriasis and acne 

Aloe creams have a calming effect on the skin and have been shown to help reduce itchiness and inflammation.

Sunburn relief 

Some people swear by aloe to calm a sunburn. You might have experienced the gel’s cooling effect yourself, but the research backing up the claim that it can speed skin recovery is lacking. One small study, for instance, found aloe vera didn’t have any effect on treating a sunburn when compared with a placebo.

Wound healing 

Aloe gel may help expedite the healing process of burns or cuts on the skin. 

Heartburn relief 

Researchers found aloe vera helped lessen several symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease, including heartburn, belching, and  vomiting.

Lower blood sugar 

A study found drinking two tablespoons of aloe vera juice every day for two weeks helped lower the blood sugar levels. Triglyceride levels of the study participants also improved.
