ALOE VERA PRODUCTS:
 |
Aloe, native to Africa, is also known as “Lily of the Desert”, the “Plant of Immortality”, and the “Medicine Plant”. In 1500 BC Egyptians recorded use of the herbal plant in treating burns, infections and parasites very successfully. Ancient Greeks, Arabs and Spaniards have used the plant throughout the millennia. African hunters still rub the gel on their bodies to reduce perspiration and their scent. |
Extensive research since the 1930’s has shown that the clear gel has dramatic ability to heal wounds, ulcers and burns by putting a protective coating on the affected areas and speeding up the healing rate.
The plant is about 96% water. The rest of it contains active ingredients including essential oil, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glycoproteins. Modern healers have used it since the 1930’s. Many liquid health treatments are made, some combining aloe juice with other plants and herbs. The juice is soothing to digestive tract irritants, such as colitis and peptic ulcers.
Aloe Vera Extract is made by pulverizing the whole leaves of the plant. Aloe juice is made from the inner leaf. Herbalife’s concentration is much higher than other products and they have removed the bitterness.
