Aloe Vera: All of us, more or less, have heard about the benefits of aloe for health. But unfortunately, it is much better known for its beneficial properties for the skin than its benefits to the body when we ingest it.
Aloe contains many minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, copper, iodine, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium), polysaccharides, amino acids, and it is very rich in vitamins (B2, B6, B1, B12, C and A ).

Benefits and uses of aloe for healthy skin
We give it a wide variety of services at home: every time one of my children takes a hit, I apply aloe gel to the area, even to scratches and wounds; it is refreshing, and the affected area recovers quickly.
balsamic effect
Given its balsamic effect, we also use it as a cream after waxing, shaving, or sunbathing; the best way to soothe the skin is to help its regeneration after sun damage. It is an excellent remedy for thigh chafing in summer.
Prepare your skin for the sun
Aloe is ideal when you have arid areas where the skin looks like it will fall off in pieces, the elbow area, for example. After several applications, the skin loses that ugly look it had. It can be applied to the baby’s bottom, especially when irritated.
And if we want to avoid those premature wrinkles that some of us are already getting, we must apply the gel regularly; this way, the age-related wrinkles are delayed. But remember, aloe is astringent, so you must use a moisturizer.
Antibacterial, antifungal and astringent effects
Its antibacterial, antifungal and astringent effects help, with daily and frequent use, to reduce the size of warts until they disappear. It is also very effective in cases of acne and is even used to treat people with psoriasis.
Strengthens the hair
Another use is related to hair. Its use regularly brings multiple benefits to its health and appearance.
It strengthens it and reduces hair breakage, prevents hair loss, promotes growth and is effective in contact dermatitis or excess dandruff and oily scalp.
prevent hair loss in spring
In these cases, we are speaking about a natural solution to situations.
In which maximum have found ourselves at some point.
Health benefits of drinking aloe
Drinkable aloe is also a source of benefits for our body, especially inside, although our skin will also notice its consumption.
Take aloe regularly:
Promotes detoxification and purification of the body; it is, in fact, one of the best purifying plants.
regulates and normalizes the digestive system,
improves duodenal and stomach ulcers and decreases acidity,
helps strengthen the immune system and it increases the body’s defences,
it is an excellent regulator for constipation problems thanks to the aloin it contains,
has an anti-inflammatory effect,
regulates the functioning of the intestinal mucosa,
its plant hormones favour healing and cell growth, inside and out.
As you can see, it has an infinity of beneficial properties. However, it is not as well known as a gel for the skin.
Drink a large glass of water with drinkable aloe every morning on an empty stomach. When I feel my throat itching and, before things get worse, I take a spoonful of pure aloe, a hand of a saint! And I also add it to the water I drink throughout the day.
