Aloe vera can help with a variety of human health problems. The benefits come from its unique consistency of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones, lignin, saponins, fatty acids, salicylic acid and amino acids. Aloe vera is most effective on two areas of the body – the immune system and epithelial tissue. Aloe vera is commonly used to help with the following medical conditions:

Allergies
A skin or respiratory reaction to pollens, hair, fur, woollens etc. that shows topically in the form of lumps, rashes, swellings as well as breathing problems.
Aloe vera helps to balance the immune system and reduces inflammation.

Arthritis

The main areas being the knees, hips and spine causing inflammation verying degrees of pain is experienced. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic progressive disease causing inflammation and stiffening joints. In extreme cases, deformity occurs in the finger joints.
Aloe vera can help in reducing the inflammation therefore helping to reduce pain, and addresses the immune system to help the body help itself.

Cancer
Aloe vera will often be used as a complementary addition to the ongoing medical treatment. Aloe vera can often help in alleviating some of the side effects, improving the immune system, and with radiation, helps prevent little or no scarring to occur.

I.B.S.
