Aloe Vera


"This plant is known for its healing effect and is used in many cosmetic and hair care products. There are over 200 different specimens of aloe that grow in dry regions around the world.

Aloe vera is commonly known as skin healer, moisturizer and softener. It is dramatically effective on burns of all types and is also good for cuts insect stings, bruises, acne and blemishes, poison ivy, welts, skin ulcers and eczema. Taken internally, 98- or 99-percent pure aloe vera is known to aid in the healing of stomach disorders, ulcers, constipation, hemorrhoids, rectal itching, colitis, and all colon problems. It can also be helpful against infections, varicose veins, skin cancer and arthritis and is used in the treatment of AIDS.

We have had excellent results using colon cleansers containing psyllium husks in combination with aloe vera juice. We have found this combination to be good for food allergy and colon disorder sufferers. Psyllium keeps the folds and pockets in the colon free of toxic material that gathers there. The aloe vera not only has a healing effect, but if constipation or diarrhea is present, it will return the stools to normal. It takes a few weeks to cleanse the colon, but regular, periodic use will keep the colon clean. As with any substance it is possible t develop an intolerance to aloe vera juice and/or psyllium husks, so this treatment should not be used on an ongoing basis.

HP comments: I have no direct experience with aloe vera--other than to use it on kitchen burns.
