I
am sure most of you have seen the commercials and magazine ads for
modern medication. It treats one concern but leads to a variety of
unpleasant and sometimes alarming side effects. So you get rid of
your heart burn with a little pill, but you get a rash as a side
effect. So you treat the rash with an ointment that gives you
headaches, so you take a pill for that. This sounds just awful,
right? It also concerns me that in some lab somewhere chemicals are
being mixed and altered to provide a desired effect, when you could
easily be growing a food, herb, or plant that can heal right outside
your door.
I
am always happy to hear news about natural medicine and research. For
centuries people relied on herbs and plants to treat illnesses and
injuries. So when I hear that natural ingredients are being studied
and used to treat modern day ailments I feel like we are leaning in
the right direction. I recently read an article on livestrong.com
that spoke of some interesting research using aloe vera. Most of us
have used aloe vera gel to sooth a sunburn or perhaps place on a burn
from the kitchen. Several institutes are taking a look at aloe vera
and how it can help more than just a weekend sunburn.
Studies
in how aloe vera juice can be used to heal the oral cavity after
dental procedures shows a healing benefit. It is being considered as
a treatment for multiple dental and oral issues. Those who drink aloe
vera juice are told to swish it around in the mouth before swallowing
for this benefit.
Researchers
are also studying the effects of aloe vera in treating heart
conditions and diabetes. Patients suffering from heart disease or
diabetes were given aloe vera juice and psyllium, which resulted in a
reduction of serum triglycerides, lipids, and total cholesterol
levels, while good cholesterol levels increased. Blood sugar levels
also improved and patients were able to decrease the use of
medications. Studies are also being done with interest in how aloe
vera juice effects psoriasis and other skin ailments, and digestive
issues, such as constipation.
Aloe
vera is used as a topical treatment using the gel as well as in a
juice form that is ingested. It has been used as a laxative and
digestive aid. It is used as a multipurpose skin treatments. It is
used in traditional herbal medicine around the globe and in Ayurveda
medicine. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm
itchy, irritated skin. It provides a cooling, calming benefit. It
also has antibacterial properties and antioxidants. It contains
vitamins A, C, and E, which are known to improve skin tone and
minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It contain minerals, enzymes,
sugars, and amino acids that repair lipids in the skin. It
moisturizes with no greasy after feel.
These
amazing properties and skin benefits are why Perfectly Posh uses aloe
vera in so many of their products. A few of these include: big fat
yummy hand cremes, body butters, look natural product line (BFF
exfoliating face wash, night & day moisturizer, never grow up
