Aloe Vera Plant

Aloe has a million different great reasons why you should be using it! For starters aloe leaves contain a great abundance of powerful antioxidants which are called polyphenols. Antioxidants are imperative to our health helping fight off any harmful bacteria.

The plant is beyond resourceful and many of us do not realize and understand the power of the aloe plant. So much so that the Egyptians called it the Plant of Immortality because of its wonderful resources.

The Aloe Plant has so much rich benefits in store for you and it is priced at .99 cent at your local supermarket or fruit store.

One of the many benefits of the Aloe Plant is that it is a great provider of nourishment to the hair, skin, and body.

• FOR THE SKIN:

• Aloe promotes elasticity and prevents wrinkles although excessive application of the topical gel like substance can dehydrate your skin so be careful on the amount you use.

• As I mentioned before the polyphenols help inhibit any bacteria that may cause infections on the surface of our bodies.

• Aloe is a great moisturizer providing hydration, getting rid of dead cells, all while keeping the skin glowing, soft, and supple.

• The plants assists with pigmentation as well, ridding the skin of any dark patches and dry flaky patches as well.

• If you experience any suntan burns or suntan lines aloe is the perfect remedy for removing and promoting a natural glowing even complexion while avoiding dark patches.

• If you are acne prone the plant can most definitely help you with the outbreak of pimples and heal the lesions (containing pus and are red at the base of the pimple) and acne scars.

• If you have stretch marks from a previous birth of course the miracle plant can assist in eliminating the traces of them.

• Oily skin is a common problem. The properties in the plant can reduce the excessive production of the glands and reduce the oil that you see on your face.

• FOR THE HAIR:

• The amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, zinc, and copper help promote healthy hair. If you did not know, copper contains protein peptides which heal any wounds to the scalp, enlarging hair follicles therefore promoting healthy hair growth, while managing to take your hair out of the "resting phase". Zinc has antioxidants that help prevent gray hairs and strengthens the immune system. Lack of both can cause balding, hair thinning, and alopecia. Luckily, aloe vera contains those two properties.

• Applying aloe gel to your hair as a moisturizer promotes hydration and strengthens the hair from the root which helps eliminate a dry flaky scalp.

• Aloe can act as a wonderful conditioner keeping your hair attractive, luscious, and manageable.

• If you have dandruff you can use aloe as a remedy. Massage the gel onto your scalp to reduce the dandruff and prevent any further problems.

• OTHER USES:

• If you ever find yourself constipated, aloe vera is a great way to help you move your bowels. The yellow substance found inside and under the leaf is an excellent treatment to help reduce constipation containing barbaloin which is used in many laxatives

• Have you ever had a canker sore also known as a mouth ulcer or know anyone that may have these issues? Of course the aloe vera patch is very useful in this matter by reducing pain and size of the mouth ulcers which usually form under your lip. The patch is a helpful aid in reducing canker sores. We all experience dental plaque at one time or another throughout our years, some more than others, but we all experience it.

• I can bet you that you did not think pure aloe vera juice is just as useful, if not more, than a regular mouth wash. The aloe vera juice is just as effective as chlorhexidine which is found in mouth wash. The pure juice breaks down and kills the bacterium streptococcus mutans which produce plaque in our mouths. If you don't believe me the only way to prove me wrong is to try it, it wont kill you.

• The supplement of aloe vera, if you're drinking it, can cleanse the body of any toxins we may carry as well as lowering sugar levels.

• If you suffEr regularly from common colds, bronchitis, flu, and a stuffy nose, Aloe Vera juice contains Vitamin C and helps relieve you of those problems. You can drink that as much as you want to help you with your issues.

• I know many of us have allergies, some worse than others, and it can really be extremely annoying when allergy season comes around. For the ones who have allergies all year, this can hwill, especially if you have sinus and chest inflammation. The plant is rich is magnesium lactate which can work as an antihistamine helping you to reduce the sinus problem and chest inflammation due to allergies.

This plant is one of the few that have so many uses for it, it cannot be compared to any other plant. If you haven't tried using the aloe plant before I really hope that you try it now since you're a little more educated about the plant.

Just like myself, I didn’t know all of the benefits of the Aloe Vera plant and I am sure some of you didn’t realize all of the benefits of the plant either. Now that you have been a bit more educated about the plant I hope you use to your best ability whenever and however you need to use it.

YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG USING THE PLANT OF IMORTALITY.
