Yes, we all grab an aloe vera leaf when we get a sun burn to help sooth the skin and help heal externally, but did you know…EATING ALOE VERA HELPS MORE THAN JUST SKIN BURNS!
I have been eating the inside gel of the plant for years: why? I could go on and on in detail, but to sum it up, I’ve listed just a few benefits of eating the FRESH aloe vera gel (you can do more research on a specific topic yourself if one interests you more than others….believe me, you will find plenty evidence yourself if you doubt me!)
Halts the growth of cancer tumors
Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn’s, and other digestion issues
Relieves constipation
Repairs “sticky blood”
Accelerates healing from RADIATION burns
Prevents and treats candida infections
Prevents kidney stones
Halts inflammation
Amplifies the absorption of other vitamins
Alkalizes the body
Lowers cholesterol
Helps GERD
Great source of electorates
Accelerates skin repair
….and so much more!
Oh, and BTW, this aloe vera leaf is HUGE and was only 99 cents at my local Mexican market!
Tip: I personally just eat it straight, however for most that is too intense. So try adding it to your smoothies if you can’t “tough it out”.
