About Aloe Vera

Whilst modern medicine provides a strong and effective antidote for many symptoms, by using natural Aloe and Bee products you can combat the symptoms and the source of the problem without the side effects that some modern medicines can inhibit. Or, where modern treatment can often be the only cure, Aloe Vera can often help reduce the unwelcome side effects that those drugs typically introduce. Since our natural Aloe and Bee products can be taken through the long term, they continue to help build up the immune system prior to any injury or ailment, thus enabling greater recovery to be undertaken immediately, such as the the onset of symptoms from airborne pollens which can be completely removed if treatment is begun pre season. Ulcers too can be prevented from occurring in the first place, which of course is more beneficial compared to treating them once they appear!

Aloe Vera helps prevent:

Inflammation
High blood pressure
Diabetes (including type 2 with the correct diet)
Cancer Tumours
Side effects of modern medicine (steroids, chemotherapy etc.)
Fungal infections
Asthma
Pain of rheumatoid arthritis

There are over 200 types of Aloe Vera, where there are believed to be only 5 real variants of the Aloe plant that provide true medical benefits, and whilst the vast majority remain non-toxic, there are some varieties that are poisonous.

The use of Aloe Vera was first documented for medicinal purposes by the Egyptians in 1500 B.C, who used it to treat burns, infections and to remove parasites. They developed hundreds of recipes for its use, including beauty treatment used by Cleopatra. Both Celsus (30 A.D. Roman doctor) and Dioscorides (65 A.D. Greek botanist and pharmacist) highlighted the important use of Aloe Vera within their countries. Alexandra the Great discovered the abundancy of Aloe Vera when conquering the Socrota island, which he used to help heal his soldiers after battle.

Just like the internal tissue of any fruit, it oxidises quickly when in contact with the air (e.g. Like the discolouration of a banana after being left peeled for 30 mins).

In order for Aloe Vera to be truly effective it too must remain in its original state after being sourced, either by being used immediately or by having its gel stabilised in some way for later use. Be sure to only use Aloe Vera products endorsed by the Aloe Science Council for treatment, as they will only indicate Aloe that it is still of high quality after it has been cultivated, shipped and stored.

Aloe helps to heal:

Eczema, rashes and skin conditions (including Acne, Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Urticaria)
Ulcers (e.g. leg and mouth)
Digestive problems (e.g. Colitis, Gastritis, IBS, Crohns and Colon Cancer)
Cuts and significantly reduces permanent scarring if used early
Burns (e.g. from the sun, heat and scolding)
Osteoarthritis (in conjunction with our MSM)

Forever Living Products (FLP) has a patented method of stabilising the Aloe Vera Gel as soon as it’s cultivated, ensuring that the Aloe gel retains its high quality and is as effective as possible. Furthermore, since only the fillet (the inside) of the leaf that contains the gel is used in obtaining Aloe Vera gel you can be sure you are obtaining the best part of the plant. Other Aloe Vera manufacturers use the skin as well as the inside of the leaf. Although this can be used to claim a higher percentage of Aloe Vera in an overall product and saves on manufacturing costs, it provides little overall benefit and can reduce the quality of the Aloe being sold to the consumer. Anyway, you wouldn’t want to eat a whole banana (skin included) would you? Click on our web link icon below for more information on FLP.

Aloe is a natural healer that balances the immune system and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. Favoured by people with arthritis, skin complaints and digestive / bowel disorders.
