If you have purchased any products from NJOY Natural, you may have noticed that one of the ingredients listed is Aloe Vera. Most of my products (hair and skin) contains either Aloe Vera Gel or Aloe Vera Juice. Many people seem to consider the Aloe Vera a miracle plant. There aren’t a great amount of plants in our hemisphere that is easily accessible and used for a number of benefits, particularly for health, skin and hair. If you haven’t noticed by now, this week’s spotlight ingredient is none other than – you guessed it! Aloe Vera…
First – A Fun Fact
Do you know the difference between Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Juice? I just learned this myself. The Gel and the Juice gets extracted from two different part of the plant. The juice is made from the bitter part of the aloe Vera leaf called, Aloe Latex. The gel is in the inner part of the leaf, making it more beneficial. However, “both quality aloe Vera juices and gels can be taken orally and applied topically”.
Some Benefits
a. Sunburn treatment - Aloe Vera juice is a powerful healing agent and is used in many sunburn treatments. The natural nutrients and antioxidants in the plant work to soothe the pain and help to regenerate the skin.
b. Acne treatment - One of the benefits of Aloe Vera juice is that it can be used as an ingredient for acne treatments. Auxin and Gibberellins, two hormones found in Aloe Vera, have wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce skin inflammation and promote the growth of new cells.
c. Moisturizer - Aloe Vera gel makes a great skin moisturizer and doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy, so it’s good for all skin types. Aloe Vera gel is also good for using after shaving and its healing properties will help with any small nicks or cuts.
d. Anti-Aging treatment - We can’t turn back the clock, but Aloe Vera gel can help smooth out some those fine lines and improve the skins natural firmness.
e. Aloe Vera for hair - Aloe Vera is said to help prevent hair loss and act to strengthen your hair. Used as a hair conditioner, it will give you thick, strong and healthy hair, and is especially good for dry hair and dandruff.
f. Aloe Vera juice aids digestion - When taken internally, Aloe Vera aids the digestive system and works as a laxative. Drinking Aloe Vera juice regularly helps to detoxify the system and can also alleviate acidity and inflammation in the bowel.
g. Aloe Vera juice stimulates the metabolism - Drinking Aloe Vera juice can speed up the metabolism and be an aid to maintaining a healthy body weight.
h. Aloe Vera boosts the immune system - Consuming Aloe Vera juice can also give your immune system a boost. The antioxidants contained in the plant help fight free radicals, which are known to speed up the aging process and be the cause of a number of illnesses.
i. Aloe Vera Scar treatment - The gel of Aloe Vera plant can be used to help treat scars, as it promotes the healing process and softens the appearance of scar tissue.
j. Nutritional Supplement - Aloe Vera plant is rich in vitamins and minerals and actually contains over 75 different nutrients, so is often taken as a natural, healthy nutritional supplement.
You can make Aloe Vera gel yourself by extracting it from the plant, you can buy it in many health food stores or online here: Aloe Vera 100% Gel .
