Aloe: Nature’s Cure – All

What’s in a name? If the name is Aloe Cure, it represents one of the great healing plants of all time. Science is forever trying to compete with nature and it is ironic that often they come round full cycle to promote what has long been there for the taking. Natural remedies usually come without harmful side effects. When you consider that for a moment you will realize just how exciting it is.The untold benefits that accompany most natural cures comes in the form of antioxidants and minerals that have yet to be discovered.

The Aloe Vera plant has become the forgotten plant now that resveratrol, acai and green tea have received so much recent press. It makes sense considering peoples fascination for the latest thing. Aloe Vera has fallen from grace and has been usurped by other well-deserving wonders of the natural world. We admit the benefits of acai and green tea, but aloe has its place among the medicinal knights.

The publicity the current crop of favorites is now receiving is long overdue. Not exactly a newcomer, pure aloe has been used to treat burns, cuts and bruises and the juice has long been touted as a remedy for digestive problems.

Used by Native Americans of the Southwest for centuries and, most recently, by herbalists and botanical healers in the U.S., it has the most amazing restorative powers and is one of nature’s cure-alls. It has the power to soothe the digestive tract, reduce or eliminate inflammation, facilitate waste removal, repair, heal and act as a corrective. For those who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome aloe vera juice has been recommended for years.

Pharmaceutical companies have garnered too much power in the last several decades and I do not refer to political influence. We rely on their imprimatur before we take steps to deal with medical problems. We do not quibble with the scientific research that has enabled us to increase our life expectancy or provide hope for many who would not even be alive if it were not for advances in science. Remember that many of the so-called discoveries have been around for thousands of years, aloe being just one of them.

It is our contention that all of the cures for disease exist, or have existed in nature. It is a great tragedy whenever a species becomes extinct owing to commercial progress or commercial avarice. This is why we must guard against the loss of the rainforests and other habitats that are not only home to wildlife but are in fact giant stores of naturally occuring medicines.

Aloe is a gentle corrective that can very conceivably reeducate your system. This has been touted and there have been proven results. It may not work like a pill – we all want instant gratification and freedom from discomfort – but it works well and, in the long run, the benefits will be many; the side effects, few.
