So with all the problems I have been having with my digestion I was recommended by a naturopath to start drinking Aloe Vera Juice, yes that's right juice...
I have always known Aloe Vera for it's healing properties, I remember my nan always had a plant as a kid and if we got sunburnt or had a cut or graze she would break off a stem and squeeze some of the clear liquid and rub it in.
I had no idea you could ingest it???
The bottle I got isn't for drinking like a apple juice but more a dessert spoon full one a day in the morning before you eat brekkie.
I won't lie it isn't the tastiest thing I have ever had...but... I can handle it. It tastes kind of like having a mouthful of chlorine water when you have been swimming.
So what are the benefits, well I think you may be surprised...
Aloe Vera has been known to detoxify your bloodstream in your body and cleanse your colon (I am trying to not make this post about poo). It helps with digestive problems and improves circulation. It also acts as a antibacterial and antibacterial but for your insides to assist your body to fight off infections which I really need especially coming up to Winter when they are so many bugs floating around. Lastly it helps dilate capillaries and aid in cell growth, healthy cell growth, healthy bodies.
Since taking it I have been having less abdominal problems and my digestion has really improved. If you often get tummy pains or just feel like your digestion is not quite up to scratch maybe consider talking to a health care professional and see if this could be right for you.
Oh and it is stored in the fridge.
