Aloe vera is one of our best health and beauty friends.

A moisturizing and protective ingredient, or a natural medical remedy, it is an essential well-being asset.

Aloe vera is a plant in the family of thealoe, which grows in the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa.

It has been cultivated for a long time in the Mediterranean. And men have used it many times for centuries: medicinal plant, depolluting, ornamental, used in textiles, cosmetics and care.

It is in the central part its most beneficial substances are found in its leaf, such as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and E, as well as nutrient minerals (potassium, phosphorus, iron ...) and enzymes such as mucopolysaccharides, with virtues favoring natural defenses.

Finally, there are significant antioxidant benefits, which help fight against aging cells.

I present to you its 5 main virtues.

1. Moisturizer

Aloe vera is above all a plant with moisturizing virtues indisputable, thanks to its functions generators due to the enzymes I mentioned to you, and its many vitamins. It is found in many skin care products, often associated with jojoba oil. It's as moisturizing, by comparison, as shea butter or sweet almond oil.

I use it in particular to fight against the dryness of my skin and the redness of the cold. For this, I discovered organic moisturizers.

2. Nourishing

Thanks to its antioxidant functions, which prevent the cells from aging too quickly, and to its soft and hydrating gel, aloe vera is a precious ally for the nutrition of the skin and hair. This plant provides them with the mineral salts necessary to nourish them, and can even slow down baldness.

We associate it with all our little ones cosmetic recipes homemade, like those made from essential oils, or baking soda.

For example, it will provide, associated or not with jojoba oil, all the nutrients necessary for sprays for radiant hair. Here I am using the aloe vera formula in gel.

3. Healing

Aristotle or Hippocrates already used it, in their time, for its virtues healing. It is because it contains enzymes that promote cell regeneration, that it helps to treat small wounds, eczema, psoriasis, cuts, burns and irritations, sunburns (better than Biafine, which, moreover, cannot be exposed to the sun), acne or cellulite.

It is said that some Indians used it to treat open wounds, instead of sutures! Result: less marks on healing. I also use it in the form of gel for all those little everyday ailments.

4. Helps natural defenses

Aloe vera therefore containing a multitude of enzymes and miraculous vitamins, this makes it practically a drug by himself. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, but also an antibiotic and an immune defender. We can therefore, with its help:

- eliminatetoxins,

- relieve crampsstomach,

- soothe stomach ailments,

- fight against diabetes,

- fight against allergies,

- coagulate the blood,

- soothe ulcers.

It even happens to me, for its healing and cleansing side, to consume it in case of diarrhea (gastro, flu, tourist), or in case of sore throat, as a gargle.

To benefit from all its medicinal properties, consume aloe vera juice, or still the formula in gel, with a spoon, accompanied by a little honey.

5. Plan support

Be careful, I'm not telling you that aloe vera will make you lose weight on its own. No. For that, I can only advise you to have a good hygiene of life, to eat balanced, to practice a physical activity.

However, it regulates the sugar level, speeds up the metabolism, promotes digestion, cleanses the urinary tract, which helps to eliminate. And it burns fat.

Here again, I recommend the juice, or so to cook with aloe vera. It will perfectly complement desserts or yogurts, and will serve as a seasoning for your salads, for example. In this case, use the gel, or the pulp, or even a crushed leaf that you will find in organic stores.

How to choose it?

Personally, I am moving in priority towards the organic products. They have a higher percentage of aloe vera and better conditioning.

It is found in pharmacies, drugstores, on the Internet. I therefore favor the formulas gels and juice: they are more concentrated and practical, but there are bulbs. They are less recommended than in the other forms, because they are often concentrated, and the majority of the properties disappear upon heat treatment. That said, it can't be bad.

Choose products marked "aloin free", which is thebark aloe vera, bitter and powerfully laxative, less good for health than the rest of the plant.

No contraindication

Aloe vera should be avoided during the first 6 months of pregnancy, and for children under 6 years old. Apart from this, no toxicity is known and therefore there is no contraindication a priori.

But, as I always tell you, it's best to ask all the same the opinion of your attending physician, if used in specific medication, because he knows you and will know if aloe vera is a good idea to solve your problem.
