6 Ways to Use Aloe Vera for Better Health

Aloe vera strengthens your immune system, cleanses your body of toxins, and improves your circulation.

Aloe vera is a plant that for ages has been considered a cure-all. Today its special properties and health benefits are still well-known, and that’s why you might have seen it in beauty and personal care products.

If you add it to your daily diet, you’ll see big benefits, too. In fact, aloe vera contains 12 vitamins, 19 amino acids, and 20 minerals, all of which means a stronger immune system. It’s also rich in antioxidants and has the power to restore your intestinal flora and cleanse your digestive system.

Aloe vera oxygenates your blood, increases levels of red blood cells, reduces cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure.
Ways to use aloe vera to improve your health

To use it topically, just rinse it in water, and there’s no need to remove the little green veins on the thick part of the leaves.

However, you’ll have to remove them if you’re planning on using the aloe vera for consumption because they taste bitter.

1. Swollen legs
Applying aloe vera onto sore legs or those with varicose veins will considerably reduce swelling and pain.
Extract the gel from the leaves.
Chill for a few hours.
Rub your legs with the gel, starting at the bottom and working your way up.
Let sit for 5 minutes and then remove excess. Let the rest dry on your legs.
Repeat if necessary.

2. Constipation and indigestion
If you don’t eat well, you’ll need to alkalize your body. If you’re dealing with constipation, this should give you some relief. An aloe vera smoothie is a great option. Here’s a recipe to try:
Ingredients
1 cucumber (200 g)
1/2 teaspoon of ginger (5 g)
3 aloe vera leaves
1 teaspoon of parsley (5 g)
1 squeezed lemon
Instructions
Extract the gel from the aloe vera leaves and peel the cucumber.
Place both in the blender along with the ginger and parsley.
Process for 5 minutes.
Serve and add the lemon juice.
Finally, stir and enjoy.

3. Mouth infections
People using corticosteroids or other medications that inhibit the immune system are susceptible to mouth infections. The fungus candida is a common culprit. People with asthma often have this problem too, due to prolonged use of inhalers.

To prevent this, follow these steps:

Extract the gel from one aloe vera leaf.
Blend with half a cup of water.
Use it as a mouthwash once a day. Also works for mouth ulcers and plaque.

Aloe vera is widely known for its healing properties. It is sometimes used in combination with fruits and vegetables for preparing cleansing juices. Other vitamin and antioxidants rich ingridients are lemon, ginger, apple, mint, cinnamon. I recommend a green juice cleanse for weight loss https://cancancleanse.com/index.php/cleanse/new-core-green/ for everybody. You get rid of the toxins, which have accumulated in your organism and enrich your body with vitamins.
