It is most popular when applied to the skin or taken orally, usually as a gel, juice or
drink. There are also companies that produce it in injection form. This is not
recommended in any circumstances and such products are banned from the UK and
the United States as they have caused death in patients.

How does Aloe Vera Work on the Skin?

Aloe Vera is highly prized because it penetrates deep into the skin, right down to the
level where skin cells are manufactured. Unfortunately you need a lot of Aloe to
make sure that what penetrates the skins surface does any good. To be sure make
sure any Aloe Cream you are thinking of buying, or have bought, has Aloe Vera as
its number one ingredient.

Because Aloe Vera is a natural substance, not a drug, it works with the body at cell
level, feeding and repairing. It works from the bottom up so it can sometimes take
days or even weeks to see a result and in the meantime the skin can actually look
worse as impurities are pushed out. Such rashes can often be mistaken for an
allergic reaction although it should be noted that some people do get genuine side
effects from Aloe Vera.

It is these actions that lead people to claim success with wound healing, eczema,
psoriasis, burns, acne and stings.

There are cheaper methods to make your skin look better in a matter of days. They
mainly rely on putting certain oils in the cream which block up the skins pores.
Unable to sweat properly water builds up inside the skin and makes wrinkles look as
if they disappear (see diagrams). The real damage is in later life.

The following is of important consideration when trying Aloe Vera on the skin:

 If the amount of Aloe Vera in the product is small (it is low on the ingredients
list) you may not feel any benefit. It may only have been added for advertising
purposes.
 If the Aloe Vera has been mixed with cheap ingredients (such as alcohol,
paraffin or oil) these may negate any positive effect.
 The Aloe Vera in the product must be of a high enough quality to actually
have any affect.
 If you use an oil based product first and then apply Aloe Vera the oil may
actually block the Aloe and you will feel and see no effect.
 How does Aloe Vera Work in the Body?

Aloe works in several steps inside the body...

FIRST it goes into the mouth and down the throat soothing and assisting repairs to
the body with its rich cocktail of nutrients. This is why many say it helps with such
problems as bleeding gums, mouth ulcers and sore throats.

SECOND it goes into the stomach and intestine. Both these organs are lined with
tiny finger like mechanisms which themselves have microscopic fingers attached.
These massage and digest food but over time the space between the fingers can get
blocked up with pollutants, toxins, chemicals and additives in food (is it any wonder
that 1 in 3 of us suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome?)

Aloe's natural cleansers help break down this 'artificial sludge' that water alone
cannot move and boosts the bodies repair of the walls and linings. The result is that
many people claim Aloe Vera helps with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Other Bowel
Disorders, ME, stress, colitis and diverticulitis.

FINALLY the Aloe Vera moves into the body where it works to boost the bodies own
repair system, feeding each and every single cell with as many of the nutrients as it
can. It is this action that lead to claims of a 'curative' effect on arthritis, candida and
nerves.

The following is of important consideration when trying Aloe Vera orally:

 If the amount of Aloe Vera in the product is small (it is low on the ingredients
