Slim Health Care

The Aloe plant is renowned world wide for its curative benefits and has been used as a household cure for thousands of years. Not only is Aloe one of Queen Cleopatra’s beauty secrets, but has been used over the millennia as an antiseptic and antifungal, and to improve digestion.

 However, it is important to understand that not all types of Aloe are good for you. There are over three hundred types of Aloe plant most of which are toxic and contain high levels of Iodine, known to cause kidney failure if consumed in large quantities. The most recommended type of Aloe then is called Aloe Vera Barbadensis and when it comes to having one at home it is important to allow the plant two years to mature. This ensures the plant will be at its healing peak. 

Aloe Vera should only be used as a topical ointment for wounds, etc and not ingested directly. This is because the viscous part of the plant contains a very powerful laxative called Latex. For those who would like to improve digestive problems such as gastritis, indigestion, etc with Aloe Vera, I recommend they find a natural aloe product that doesn’t contain Latex or Iodine. The best Aloe is always cold pressed (as with virgin olive oil) and not boiled, as this ensures the aloe is Latex and Iodine free but still has its nutritional value.

Strong laxatives such as Latex are not recommendable for long term use as they are known to force the digestive tract into strong (often painful) bowel movements that destroy the lining of the intestine. The result is poor absorption and chronic constipation.

 In short, Aloe can be a very powerful friend when it comes to improving your health so long as you stick to the right type and only ingest ready to use products.
