Aloe

[Guest guest]

I use ShapeRite Aloe Vera. It recommends diluting with 10 parts something else but for myself I do 1:1 and for my son I do 1:2. I think the biggest reason for adding so much more liquid is for easier distribution throughout the body, but since we're taking it specifically for the stomach, I don't worry about it. Product descriptions and distributor finders can be found at http://www.fitandfabulous.com/Pages/Product/aloevera.htm and http://www.shaperite.com/v_products_1_immune.html#vera . Also, you can call ShapeRite directly and talk to their product development people. Their general # is 800 776-9898 and that will get you started.

Aloe Vera The Aloe Vera is a medicinal plant, which used properly, can be the best treatment for suburns and other minor burns. It is found predominately in hotter climates such as South America, but is also found in some southern portions of Northern America. Medicinal Value The part of the Aloe Vera which is used are the leaves. The Aloe is an Emollient, Purgative and Vulnerary. It is also used for its antibacterial, anesthetic and antiseptic properties, and is good to use as a tool for restoration of tissue. It is most commonly used on burns and minor cuts, especially good for sunburns, although it is being used for the treatment of skin cancer. Aloe is very useful on rashes caused by Poison Ivy, and it may help to draw out

infection. It may help with Vaginal Yeast Infections, although this is not solid at this time. Aloe be made into a warm tea, made from the juice as a wash for eyes. The washing of eyes with Aloe may protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays from the sun. It can be taken in powder of pill form to be used as a purgative. Aloe is also an extremely powerful laxative, and it is not recommended that it is taken internally. It is recommended that the fresh juice from the plant is used, and not the store bought juice within other products or on its own. The reason for this is that the medicinal use of the plant diminishes with time, and there is much questioning about whether or not you can receive benefits from the store bought aloe, even if the product has been filled with preservatives. Dosage When intaking a powder of Aloe, 1-5 gram dosage is recommended.In a fluid extract, anywhere from 5-30 drops is what is taken. To create an eye wash from Aloe, use 1/2 tsp. of Aloe juice and dissolve it in 1 cup of water. A 1/2 teaspoon of Boric Acid may be added to preserve it. A poultice of Aloe can be made by slicing a leaf lengthwise and pressing the gelled side toward the cut or burn, and then wrapping. However, the most common way to utilize the healing powers of Aloe is to rub the gelled juice from inside the leaves onto the affected area. Warnings: Do not ingest if you are pregnant, Aloe may cause uterine contractions. Use very sparcly as a laxative, avoid taking internally unless absolutely

necessary. Suzi What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. health/ http://suziesgoats.wholefoodfarmacy.com/
