by Mike Giambattista

Is it an 'old wives tale'? Is there any truth to the notion? 'Show me the facts.' If you look at the internet searches for Aloe Vera, you'll see questions about the 'fact-or-fiction' of this ancient and natural remedy abound.

'Can Aloe Vera really help me?' 'What are the specific benefits of Aloe Vera?' 'Are there any adverse effects of Aloe Vera?' 'Is it for topical application only or can Aloe be used internally?'

In this article, by citing specific research, reviews & data, we'll show you the how's, why's & what's of the Specific Benefits of Aloe Vera.

First, we can look at the more common uses. These are uses you might classify as 'traditional remedies' but which have been proven by science or medical studies. Some of these uses are: Sun Burns, Dry Skin, Skin Ulcers

Applying Aloe Vera gel topically to affected areas has been proven to accelerate the healing process.

What you may not know, however, is that an increasing amount of studies are showing that Aloe may also deliver strong healing benefits for several internal maladies.

Research published on MayoClinic.com and other authoritative websites shows that Aloe Vera could also be used to treat: Constipation, Genital Herpes, Psoriasis, and Dandruff

*It's important to consult your family physician before undertaking any remedy, natural or otherwise, to make sure it's appropriate for your particular condition & situation.

Aloe Vera and serious diseases

There are now several mainstream clinics here in the United States which recommend regular application of fresh Aloe Vera topically and internally to aid in the prevention and treatment of the following: Cancer Prevention (we'll be publishing more on this topic soon) Oral Ulcers, Mucositis, Radiation Burns, Ulcerative Colitis (Inflamed Bowel Syndrome), Lichen Planus (Inflamed lining of the mouth), And more are surfacing all the time.

Fresh Aloe Vera is key

What's being suggested more and more in these studies and in countless anecdotal reviews and comments, is that it's critical that you use FRESH Aloe Vera Gel for treatments.

As with many natural products, the nutrients in Aloe Vera begin to decay almost immediately upon harvest. Therefore, considerations such as harvest methods, storage methods, packaging methods and shipping criteria play a large part in the ultimate effectiveness of Aloe Vera treatments.

Fresh Aloe Vera can be obtained from vendors such as Aloe1, a respected provider of fresh Aloe products.
