This medicinal plant dates back
6,000 years,
And has been in use for all that
time.
HAVE
you ever wondered how is it that
remote peoples and tribes untouched by the modern world have
natural foods and medicines that they use and, as a result, are so
much more healthy and vibrant than we are?
And why do we in the
civilized world, who are so well educated and have so much
scientific knowledge about foods, nutrition, medicine, functions,
etc, suffer from so many “modern” afflictions?
It is because all our
nutritional and health requirement are available naturally. But
while the remote people rely only on nature, we, in the process of
modernization, have lost sight of nature’s gold mine.
And of the natural foods
and healing herbs that nature has to offer, the one that gives the
widest and most consistent benefits is the aloe vera plant.
The effective remedies
attributed to this plant in both humans and animals are far too
many to mention here, but the gel and juice really works wonders
for many people in so many different situations.
What is aloe vera?
ORIGINALLY
from Africa, aloe vera is a succulent
plant with spiky, fleshy leaves that contain a clear gel that has
healing properties. Aloe vera gel has been used as a skin soother
for thousand of years-in fact, legend has it that cleopatra used
aloe as part of her beauty routine.
Inside the leaves of the
aloe vera plant, there is a thick clear gel, which is a natural
source of many nutrients. In fact, there are about 75 substances,
which meet the body’s needs in maintaining health and vitality.
However, the reason for aloe vera’s remarkable health- giving
qualities lies not only with the number of nutrients contained but
with their natural balance.
Aloe vera is a miraculous
healing plant and a virtual necessity for minor emergencies. In
fact, aloe vera gel should be included in every family’s first aid
can such a balance of such vital nutrients be found in one
foodstuff.
