Benefits of aloe vera

Aloe aloe! Are you ready to hear about the wonders of your favourite home plant?

It also helps with psoriasis, eczema, acne, warts, ulcers, herpes and stretch marks. ▫️ Gynecological: given in the right form and dose, it can help with both heavy and light periods. Genius. And it's good for PCOS, PCOD and leucorrhea. Yes, it's a girl's best friend. Gut: aloe works as a laxative so can be useful in that department (just be careful with the dose so that it doesn’t work too well!). It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, calms hyper-acidity, soothes peptic ulcers, and helps with Candida albicans. Eyes: since it's an anti-inflammatory, it works on many eye diseases such as conjunctivitis. Take care with aloe vera when pregnant.

If you want to drink it, the juice can be bought in many natural supermarkets or can be made at home.
