Hello!
Having seen Aloe Vera Water in many stores and even local newsagents now, I thought it would be really interesting to see the benefits of Aloe Vera. Thats when Kirsty came in contact with me.

Right so here are the health benefits of Aloe Vera and why growing an Aloe Plant this year may not be a bad thing:
The
healing powers and restorative benefits of aloe Vera make it something of a
jack-of-all-trades in the health community. The gel inside of the green spikey
plant has powers that range from healing burns to supporting bodily functions.
Here is a look at ten different uses you have with just one simple plant-
1. It soothes burns- One of aloes most
revered qualities, just rub the gel on your sunburn and you'll instantly feel
it cool down. It also helps in making it heal faster.
2. It gives you smooth skin, too- If you
apply it to an area of your face with acne, the anti-inflammatory properties of
aloe will reduce the redness and size of acne.
3. It even helps your skin during an
allergic reaction- If you consumed something you are allergic to and are
experiencing puffy, red skin, aloe Vera can be applied to reduce the swelling
and treat the itchiness. You should still go to a hospital, but aloe Vera will
at least reduce the physical symptoms.
4. It can do wonders to reverse the signs
of aging- If your body is starting to show the signs of getting older and you
want to reduce wrinkles or crow's feet, apply aloe Vera to the areas affected
for minor relief. The plant's special ability is so magical that it can
actually reduce some of the signs of the aging process.
5.
You can use it in the shower- Aloe Vera makes an excellent body scrub, as you
will smell excellent and feel smoother after applying it to your skin. You can
also use it in your hair, giving you a silk-like smoothness to it.
6. Give your immune system a boost- Aloe Vera
provides a boost for your immune system. Just drink a small amount to give your
body a natural enhancement that will keep colds away and also enhance your
digestive system.
7. Aloe Vera helps fight mouth problems- If
you have gum disease or even something as small as a cut in your mouth, aloe Vera
will help in healing those problems and preventing continuous bleeding. It also
fights bacteria, giving you a cleaner feel after brushing your teeth.
8. It can help those with diabetes- Aloe Vera
or supplements containing aloe Vera are an all-natural alternative to fighting
high blood sugar levels in diabetics. After a few months of use, you will
notice a significant improvement and will feel excellent.
9. Help fight asthma- If you are feeling
short of breath, just boil some aloe Vera leaves in hot water and breathe in
the steam. It creates an excellent, all natural smell, and will open up your
airways.
10. Fight ear and eye infections- Aloe Vera
works great as a general anti-inflammatory and as an anti-irritant. These
powers even stretch into infections of the eye or ear, where some applied aloe Vera
can reduce the pain and swelling.
A European
Health Insurance Card will get you access too many things that can fight
the above mentioned ailments, but a simple application of aloe Vera can do
wonders as well.
