When you think of aloe vera, you probably think of using it for sunburn relief. While it absolutely is great for your skin, when taken internally, aloe is a great healer for intestinal problems because it soothes and heals.
Due to the healing and soothing properties of aloe, it is known to aid in the healing of:
- ulcers
- hemorrhoids
- colitis
- diarrhea
- IBS
- other colon problems
- H. pylori
It also has a laxative effect, making it a good option for constipation relief.
How to use it?
- Eat the whole leaf. Using a medicinal plant, cut off a leaf and throw it in a smoothie or eat it like a carrot and dip it in hummus. Be sure to buy edible aloe vera if you choose to do it this way. You can also squeeze out the gel and mix it with water to make your own juice.
- Drink the juice. This is probably the easiest as the juice is already prepared and all you have to do is shoot it down. Look for whole leaf, pure aloe vera juice with no other added ingredients. I use this one.
