"Everybody's unique, so what works for you may not work for another person. Aloe vera should be approached mindfully." ~ Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily: · Aloe vera has a long history of medical use, from being a laxative in the 1800s to a skin protectant by the United States Pharmacopoeia.· It's commonly used to soothe sunburns, rashes, and other skin conditions due to its moisturizing properties.· Aloe can aid digestion and potentially prevent constipation and colitis when consumed, but always consult with a healthcare provider first.· Aloe vera can help with gum health and plaque prevention in toothpaste and mouthwashes.· The plant is rich in antioxidants, vitamins like A, C, E, and B12, minerals, and enzymes essential for overall health.· Be cautious of aloe latex, the yellow substance from the plant, as it could lead to serious health conditions if consumed in large amounts.· Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, diabetics, and those with certain intestinal issues should consult their doctors before using aloe internally.· Aloe vera is used in beauty and skincare products, but it's essential to use products free from harmful additives for maximum benefit.
