IS ALOE VERA REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN?
From Andrew- Is Aloe Vera excellent for your skin? Aloe VeraWell Andrew, that’s a great question, nevertheless the answer will depend on who you ask. There are numerous naturopathic healers who are very enthusiastic about its use to treat a variety of conditions which range from sunburns, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, high-cholesterol, to some cure for striae. It can be seen in literally hundreds of skin products which are widely available, usually by means of lotions and sunblocks. The ancient Egyptians were using Aloe Vera around 4,000 BC where it turned out known as the “plant of immortality”. Medical doctors appear to have a different opinion about the matter. If that you were to ask them about ways to use Aloe, the response would most likely be, “there isn’t enough scientific evidence to demonstrate it’s a fair treatment for anything”. Given the massive number of products available and anecdotal evidence seemingly supporting its use, I’m one medical doctor that finds it problematical to argue Aloe doesn’t have all, but let’s glance at the evidence. https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple71/v4/32/6e/50/326e5037-8b54-3ef0-157d-f6d749a96ac7/source/256x256bb.jpg There are two substances the Aloe Vera plant produces that happen to be used as medicines- gel and latex. The gel would be the clear, jelly-like stuff located in the center on the plant’s leaves. Surrounding the gel, just below the plant’s skin, is often a yellow material called latex. There are some medicines which can be made from the whole crushed leaf that incorporate both gel and latex, but generally latex is taken orally plus the gel is normally used topically. Although some claim taking gel orally has benefits.
