Aloe Vera Health Benefits Archives

This “lily of the desert” has been used for centuries as a natural cure-all for ailments inside and outside of the body. It was first given its name Aloe Vera by noted Swedish scientist Carl Von Linne (Linneus) in 1720. It is a member of the lily family and most experts think that it had originated out of Africa before mankind spread it throughout the world. It is a succulent semi tropical plant with thick fleshy lance shaped leaves that have serrate edges. It thrives best in arid desert like conditions but it does well in any climate as long as the temperature remains above freezing. Since it is hardy plant with interesting flowers and medicinal qualities, Aloe Vera is a very popular ornamental plant, earning a place in many people’s kitchen windows and gardens. It is also cultivated on a large scale in order to supply the burgeoning cosmetic and natural health care industries, which utilize the plants natural healing qualities in a plethora of creams, drinks, balms, sprays and lotions.

Nobody knows exactly when people began to utilize the different healing properties of the Aloe Vera plant. Ancient Sumerian text lists Aloe Vera as a form of purgative .The yellowish latex residue of the Aloe plant is known to help maintain healthy bowels and can be used as a laxative when taken orally. The ancient Egyptians also reportedly used it in the embalming process as well as a skin care product. It has also been reported that the famed beauty Cleopatra used Aloe as a facial cream to help maintain her famous visage. The Chinese have also been using it for over a thousand years to treat everything from sinuses to skin diseases

Aloe first came to the attention of the Europeans during the height of the Roman era. Dioscorides, the Roman master of pharmacology was one of the first Westerners to describe it in detail and list its numerous benefits as a laxative and a soothing balm for bruises. It became a mainstay as a healing balm and purgative during the middle ages aided by an obscure passage in the New Testament. Upon discovery of the New World, Aloe found its way to the Latin and South America through Spanish missionaries who planted it their gardens.

The onset of the industrial revolution and the subsequent arrival of synthesized chemical fixes for ailments pushed back Aloe Vera’s role as a medicinal plant. While it was still employed as a home remedy by many, the scientific community downplayed its medicinal importance. During the mid twentieth century, Aloe experienced a revival of sorts as people began once again to look at traditional home remedies to help with various conditions and ailments. The medical community also began to re-look at this little wonder plant and a plethora of medical reports were released citing Aloe Vera’s ability to heal everything from periodontal disease to hair loss.

Today, while the medical community still maintains strict neutrality on Aloe Veras potential as a medical cure-all, the cosmetic and natural health industry is crazy for the little green plant. Aloe Vera juice and additives are sold in health food stores around the country and many cosmetic products list Aloe as a contributing ingredient. As a plant, Aloe Vera remains extremely popular and can be found in almost any garden center that you walk into.

Who of us wants to get old?  Even if we were fastidious in taking care of our skin, the aging process creeps up on us and wrinkles become a part of our genetic makeup.  What can aloe vera gel do for you?  Stimulate new cell growth.  The interior gel from an aloe vera plant increases the production of the fibroblast cells at a faster than normal pace when skins cells are being reproduced.

These fibroblast cells produce collagen, the skin’s support protein.  As we age, the skin’s collagen is not quite perfect and the wrinkles formed will become deeper.  Aloe improves the fibroblast cell’s accuracy and also speeds up the process of making collagen.  This “softens” the appearance of wrinkles.

Polysaccharides make up the gel found in aloe vera and this may contribute to the reorganization of epidermal cells located in the skin’s thin protective surface.  Aging causes these cells to become loose which allow water and moisture to “escape” thereby not allowing skin cells to mature properly.  Dirt, bacteria and other unclean microorganisms enter, causing scaly skin.

Epidermal cells will need to tighten up giving complexions a more youthful looking skin and the protective covering keeps moisture within the layers.

With burned skin, severe dryness is a factor that needs to be dealt with.  In burn centers, aloe vera works well with individuals who have been badly burned.  The aloe vera gel penetrates the skin far more efficient than water does.  This seems odd as aloe vera gel is comprised of 99.5% water.  An ingredient must give aloe vera the unique ability to penetrate the skins layers faster than water.

Aloe vera is very soothing on any damaged skin.  Cuts, scrapes, burns and bug bites react immediately when aloe vera is applied.  Even acne responds positively to the application of aloe vera gel.  Acne is brought on my inflamed pores which produce swelling, irritation, pimples and pustules.  The claming and healing benefits of aloe vera minimizes the physical symptoms as well as improves a person’s over general well being, both physically and mentally.

Our skin is the largest organ on our body and the one we easily can see.  It is not the only organ that needs tender loving care.  Inside of our bodies also need care and by using Aloeride® internally, we can learn to take the best possible care of ourselves as we age.

Not only are wrinkles softened with the use of aloe vera gel, taking aloe vera juice internally encourages the body to health which in turn creates healthy skin layers and offers protection against numerous free radicals.

Walking through the health food store and or grocery store for that matter and you pretty much can see aloe vera on the shelves.  It is in creams, shampoos, body wash and toothpaste.  All the manufactures of these products claim that the aloe vera is 100% pure.

One type of the aloe vera plant, the aloe barbadensis miller, is the one use in producing Aloeride®.  This herbal plant has been subjected to numerous studies and all the compounds therein are active compounds. Aloeride® is not a cream or gel; it is a capsule.  Taken orally, it begins its healing effects in the body in less than one hour.

When you are injured, your body overreacts to that injury, whether it be from burns, cuts or scrapes.  The healing process is dragged out.  When aloe vera is applied, than the healing process begins at a faster rate.  Inflammation is soothed whether it is external or internal.  Obviously a wound on the skin will present itself as being tender, red, swollen and there is accompanied pain.

It doesn’t matter how intense the inflammation is, the symptoms are always the same.  At times, the inflammation may not even be seen or detected and only later will you come to the conclusion that you have injured yourself by the appearance of signs and symptoms.

Aloe vera is found in Aloeride® and it has the ability slow down or stop the inflammation process, from the inside out.  Subtle signs of aging can be caused by inflammation in the body.  Arteries are hardened which leads to other ailments of old age.  Adding aloe vera to the diet has vastly improved the overall coronary health of individuals who participated in a study to determine the viability of aloe vera.

Free radicals are formed due to the formation of inflammation as we age.  Free radicals are minus an electron which makes them unstable.  Other cells are damaged due to the free radicals “stealing an electron from a healthy cell.  That cell becomes a free radical.  A chain reaction is born and damage results to the cells, DNA, RNA and certain enzymes.  Cancer cells are allowed to run freely and unless slowed down can divide rapidly.

How are free radicals formed?

  • Environment
  • Heavy metals
  • Chemicals

All those we breathe, drink or eat.  Aloeride® has proven to be an avid hunter of free radicals.  It is a strong antioxidant and it has the ability to protect the body.  By doing this healthy cells are able to hold on to their electrons and the free radical molecule is not able to “steal” those electrons.  Without sustenance, these free radicals eventually will meet an untimely death and Aloeride® will be there to “sweep away” the “carcasses.”

Aloe Vera Aids with Acne

That’s right!  It wasn’t your imagination.  You looked in the mirror this morning and there it was.  A huge zit!  You are horrified.  You just know that everyone in school is going to notice that big “thingy”.  Join the club.  The teen years are associated with teen acne and the use of aloe vera may be your one and only best friend.

During the teen years, acne is the number one plague that befalls most teenagers.  It is a chronic inflammation of the pilo-sebaseous follicles, commonly known as pimples.  Most teenagers will outgrow this phase in their life by their late 20’s and a few battle scars may remain.  Occasional breakouts may occur but never to the degree it did during those “horrible” teenage years.

A front line defense for teen acne is the application of aloe vera.  It can help reduce the severity of an acne outbreak as well as reduce scarring.  Its healing properties, written on clay tablets, have been noted thousands of years ago. Taken internally Aloeride®, an oral aloe vera supplement, enhances the immune system thereby reducing teen acne and furthering the health of the skin.

The enhanced immune system is in a better position to reduce the incidence of acne due to the body’s ability to control itself and fight acne problems in teens.  It has a natural anti-inflammatory property and acne is an inflammatory disorder.  Using Aloeride® reduces the inflamed facial skin, thus reducing the severity and frequency of acne outbreaks.

Aloeride® is taken by mouth and should be taken on a regular basis.  It should be a part of the teen’s daily hygienic routine which includes keeping the skin clean, using a facial cleanser.  In addition to using Aloeride®, topical application of aloe vera will moisturize the skin and reduce the over production of oil on the skin.  A healthy skin can be achieved but it takes perseverance to reach and maintain that goal.

As adults, we can look back and know what a difficult time it is in any teen’s life and to have this be complicated by teen acne when self image is so important, can be a trying time both for the teen as well as the people who care.  If a mindset can be created to believe that teen acne is only temporary and with the use of Aloeride® on a daily basis, that temporary condition can be gotten over with at a fairly rapid pace.

Aloeride® is a non-allergenic pill which is easy to swallow

It is an effective way to help teens with their acne and you will know that you are building in them a healthy person from the inside out.  Aloe vera can combat teen acne during those teenage years and Aloeride® should be there, along for the ride.

Pure Aloe Vera to the Rescue

Anyone with an “out of whack” digestive system knows how limiting this condition of the body can be.  Knowing where each restroom is in town and not being able to enjoy an unlimited supply of different foods can make life almost downright miserable.

Digestive disorders cause discomfort and even pain; the quality of life is severely diminished. One’s thoughts are constantly on the “what if’s” and not on enjoying a pleasant meal, or simply being with friends and being able to random eat what is offered.

What are some of the common symptoms of digestive problems.  Constipation and diarrhea.  Although there are some people who also suffer from stomach aches and heartburn.  Constipation simply means incomplete defecation and is caused by improper food chewing, a poor diet, not drinking enough fluids and a less active lifestyle. Pain is sometimes felt when a “trip to the loo” is required and the pain can be so severe that one keeps from having to go just to not experience the pain.

Of course this compounds the problem even worse.   Even medications used to treat constipation causes constipation due to the dependence on them that can easily be done.  Certain diseases also contribute to constipation.

Diarrhea is the opposite of constipation.  It involves involuntary control of defecation with a high volume of liquid and salt lost.  Dehydration occurs and that is what makes it worse than constipation.  Diarrhea can be caused by a viral infection, bacterial poisoning, parasites, diseases such as bowel cancer, and long term use of alcohol.

Heartburn is the burning sensation felt by the individual in the chest or throat.  They are caused when the stomach acid creeps into the esophagus and even into the throat due to a weakened stomach sphincter.  A bitter aftertaste is left in the mouth and the condition can become quite painful.  Many individuals reach for over the counter medications and take them by the handful.

They only mask the condition.  Changing one’s diet, taking prescribed medications or even surgical intervention are the preferred treatments  of choice for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Another means to treat digestive disorder which is becoming more popular is with aloe vera.  Most notably is taking Aloeride® which soothes the digestive disorders but also has healing properties.  Aloeride® are easy to swallow capsules which improves the immune system and increases healing throughout the entire digestion tract.

The medical profession recommends the use of Aloeride® products and endorses the product as truly helping the body and increasing the quality of life.  Food is meant to be enjoyed and Aloeride® lets you do that.  The unpleasant consequences of eating certain foods that, in the past, created pain and misery are no longer felt.

You go for your annual checkup and everything checks out except for one thing.  Your arteries are hardening.  This condition is called arteriosclerosis.  Unfortunately this is brought about by the aging process.

It doesn’t have to be a death sentence diagnosis as there are numerous treatment courses that can be done to prevent and in some cases reverse arteriosclerosis.  One of those things that can be used is aloe vera, specifically Aloeride®.

When aloe vera is added to the diet, it helps in lowering triglycerides and LDL (bad cholesterol), and raises the HDL (good cholesterol).  Symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease diminish and in some cases disappear.  With the partnership of their health professionals, some patients have even been able to discontinue their medications for chest pain, blood pressure and blood sugar control.

Aloeride® used 5,000 people who had been diagnosed with artery disease and angina pain, a lack of circulation of the blood to the heart muscles.  When Aloeride® was taken on a daily basis, the signs and symptoms of angina or an impending heart attack decreased and prescription drugs were no longer needed to control these symptoms.

Hardening of the arteries involves the entire blood network in the body.  When hardened plague lines the arteries and small vessels, the passageway for the blood to travel becomes more and more blocked.  The organs and tissues in need of the oxygen filled blood now have become deprived which will eventually damage them.

There is a gradual build up of carbon dioxide and other toxic wastes that the now clogged arteries are unable to filter out of the body. Backed up blood eventually turns into “sludge” a thick, slow moving liquid.  The heart has to work harder as it is being sent messages that there is trouble.  Should physical exertion be increased the request for more oxygen filled blood cannot be met.  The heart muscle reacts and when a part of it dies, it is called a heart attack.  Instantaneous death results when a precise heart muscle dies.

When this “sludge” is reduced and platelet stickiness lessened, than a coronary event is forestalled.  Aspirin and Plavix are used just for this issue and so is the use of Aloeride®.  Platelets are needed for clotting the blood, otherwise we would bleed to death.  When the platelets become sticky a clot will form in the blood vessel and if there is too much plague in the blood vessel than a gradual build up of slow moving platelets will permanently shut off blood flow throughout that particular artery or vein.

Damage is done but can be unknown when using Aloeride®, which has the ability to reduce platelet stickiness and decrease inflammation caused by arterial injuries.  Hardening of the arteries is reduced and can even be prevented.

Aloe Vera, the Natural Healer

For eons, plants have been the foundation of our medicine cabinets.  Various illnesses have been treated using numerous plants, especially the aloe vera plant as noted in Indian literature.  Several thousand of these plant species have been used as remedies or the groundwork for medications.

In this literature, plants have been used to treat diabetes and some actually have anti-diabetic properties.  The most common plants studied and the most successful in treating diabetes, among many, are Allium cepa, Allium sativum, aloe vera, and Cajanus cajan.

Hypoglycemia and anti-hyperglycemic activities were shown in a varying degrees with the use of all these plants.

Living in the Arabian Peninsula, the dried sap of the aloe vera plant is used as the traditional remedy for diabetes.  When ½ teaspoon of the aloe vera was ingested during studies on humans with non-insulin dependent diabetes and Swiss albino mice, the fasting serum glucose level dropped within four to 14 weeks from an average of 273 to 151.  No weight gain or loss was noted.  Even individuals who were hypoglycemic benefited from the use of aloe vera to stabilize their blood sugar levels.

Numerous studies and trials have been done and though the conclusion is still insufficient to draw definite conclusions as to the effectiveness of individual herbs, the overwhelming evidence is that they are safe and non-toxic to humans. The 108 trials which examined 35 herbs, either single or in combination, involved 4,565 patients with diabetes or having been diagnosed as glucose intolerant.

Of the 58 trials, primarily done with Type II diabetic patients, glucose control was positive in 76% of the patients. Because of these positive results in the preliminary trials, aloe vera and a few others will need continued research.

Aloeride® which contains pure aloe vera has shown a positive outcome in individuals with Type II diabetes.  Their blood sugar levels returned close to normal and the body’s immune system was stimulated in order to meet the demands that the pancreas needed to make sure that body cells were utilizing ingested sugar in the proper manner. Sugar that is unable to permeate the cell wall stays in the blood and contributes to the increased level of blood glucose.

Diabetes is an awful disease; it is an insidious disease.  If left unchecked, the negative effects will eventually affect other organs of the body, primarily the circulatory system as well as the renal system.  Even eyesight is affected by the aggressive onslaught that uncontrolled elevated sugar levels has on the body.

With the use of Aloeride®, a person with diagnosed diabetes as well as a person with pre-diabetic glucose levels will see an improvement in their blood sugar readings as well as a decline in the damage that elevated blood sugar levels has on the entire body.

Han van de Braak

Because of his daughter’s eczema, a chartered Physiotherapist, registered Acupuncturist and Naturopath looked into the healing benefits of aloe vera.  Han did not want to use the conventional steroid creams to address this condition and a careful watch of his daughter’s diet just did not seem to work as well.

Her condition responded immediately to Aloeride®, a cream created by Han.

Let’s face it.  If you tasted aloe vera, it really wouldn’t be something you could take on a daily basis.  Additives had to be added to make it more palatable.  Han wanted something that was 100% pure.  Aloe vera juice gradually would succumb to bacterial degradation and oxidation.  Water taken out from the equation would solve numerous problems and aloe vera could be taken with you wherever you happen to go.

Aloeride® is made from plants grown organically and harvested during a specific season.  It is freeze dried to powder, undergoes numerous testing in multiple laboratories and a consistency constantly achieved.

Three words describe why Aloeride® is different from other aloe vera products and they are strength, spectrum and purity.  The repeat laboratory proven quantity of working molecules is higher than other aloe vera products and a full spectrum of the different polysaccharide mulches is found. This is a very difficult process to achieve.  There are no additives to be found in Aloeride®, thereby no negative reaction by the human body.

Aloeride® is recommended for many ailments

Aloe vera affects the skin and transforms the immune system, read more about natural skin care here.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease as well as ulcers of the stomach and oral lesions benefit from the healing power of Aloeride®. Read more about digestive disorders here.

Eczema, leg ulcers and psoriasis respond favorably and safety factor is provided from the powerful rays of the sun which allows you to keep your tan longer.

If you are on prescription medications, taking Aloeride® is nontoxic and there usually are no side effects when taking Aloeride®.

Aloeride® works by delivering 5% of working molecules that make up aloe vera.  Being in a liquid or powder form is not the critical factor.  If water is kept in aloe vera, an ideal medium is formed for the growth of hurtful bacteria.  Every time the aloe vera bottle is opened, oxidation takes place.

Because Aloeride® is subjected to strict regulatory controls, it can be used with complete confidence as a means to heal numerous health problems safely and with confidence.

Aloe Vera Natural Skin Care

Han van de Braak’s daughter had eczema and her father, a chartered physiotherapist, registered acupuncturist and naturopath set out to find a cure for his daughter’s ailment.  Having heard about the benefits of aloe vera, he created a product that had all the healing properties without added preservatives, chemicals or flavors.

After countless experiments and months of hard work, Han created a completely natural and safe aloe vera supplement known as Aloeride®.  He had created a cure for his daughter, never thinking of the potential as a commercial success.

History has it said that one of the first documented users of aloe vera was Cleopatra.  She is reported to have used aloe vera gel to protect herself from the sun and to keep her skin youthful looking.  Aloe vera may very well have been used by the Egyptians when embalming bodies.

A Greek physician claimed that aloe vera was effective in treating constipation, kidney problems and skin burns.  Aloe vera, today, is used around the world.  It speeds healing and dermatologists use it after facial dermabrasion, removing scars from the skin’s top layers.

Rich in minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and antioxidants, aloe vera is a plant that works its magic on the digestive tract, the stomach lining as well as the skin and hair.  When Aloeride® is taken internally, it stays in the body up to 75% longer than when applied externally.

Because aloe vera has a taste that most people cannot tolerate, it is mixed with other additives which reduces the effectiveness and can introduce unsuitable organisms.  Not so with Aloeride®.  It is a capsule meant to be taken on the go.  No mixing with anything else.  There is no taste and no odor.

Aloeride® enjoys it largest sales during the holiday season.  And why?  Because everyone wants to look their best during Christmas.  Dry and flaky skin no longer is visible.  Winter is notorious for acquiring dry skin due to the heated homes and lack of moisture in the air.

Even with the numerous aloe vera rich lotions and cream on the shelves at stores, people continue to have problem skin.  Some of these products have a difficult time penetrating the layers of skin to do any good.  Aloeride® works from within the body to the outside.  A general feeling of well being is noted and the skin looks young and moist.

Because Aloeride® is 100% pure aloe vera extract, it retains the moist capacity of the plant and distributes it within the body.  This in turn reflects on the outer layer of the skin.

As a skin caring supplement there is

no other product that can top Aloeride®

Aloe Vera & Gastrointestinal Inflammatory Disease

Being diagnosed with a gastrointestinal inflammatory disease is indeed very depressing. Especially is this so when no cause can be found.  Not only does this limit a person’s lifestyle, it can definitely become a “breaking the bank” situation as visits to numerous doctors in an attempt to get help and relief is almost always done in vain.

There is relief for gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases in the form of Aloeride®, an aloe vera derivative.  It has effectively treated rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.  The aloe kills bacterium and has been shown to reduce acid secretion.

An increase in stomach acid can lead to ulcers or chronic stomach irritation.  Never mind the pain that accompanies these conditions.  Treating this with Aloeride® decreases the production of stomach acid and heals the stomach lining.  Numerous tests have been done on aloe vera to suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of aloe vera gel may have some therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease.

Another study done with Aloeride® concluded that taken orally for four weeks, Aloeride® produced a clinical response more often than a placebo and reduced the disease activity, thus appearing to be safe.  Whether this can be said of aloe vera gel in treating inflammatory bowel disease needs to be further established.

Aloeride® has been shown to…

  • Kill bacteria which is the cause of chronic stomach and duodenal ulcers
  • Reduce the amount of acid secretion

Prescription drugs reduced the stomach acid but did not appear to heal the area. In addition, the therapeutic effect was not long lasting.  Cancer of the stomach may be brought about by gastritis (chronic inflammation) and stomach ulcers, and ulcerative colitis may be a factor in contributing cancer found in the gut.

After exhaustive testing, it appears that Aloeride® exceeds in various treatment of the intestines and seems to surpass aloe vera gel in treating a variety of internal ailments, specifically gastrointestinal inflammatory disease.  Taken orally, it is to be noted that the healing effect begins within 60 minutes and lasts for quite come time.

Made with 100% natural aloe vera with no added fillers or properties, Aloeride® provides a therapeutic effect on the body’s ability to build its immune system, thereby being able to address the weakened state of ones intestinal tract. When this is done, than the accumulated toxins leave the body, allowing the healing effect of Aloeride® to take a better hold.

With this comes better absorption of the nutrients from the food we eat and better assimilation throughout the body cells, creating in us more energy and a healthier body.

With Aloeride®, a gastrointestinal inflammatory disease can be a disease of the past as the soothing qualities of 100% aloe vera is used to temper those painful symptoms.
