New Exercise and Fitness Review
Typically applied topically to sooth skin complaints such as sunburn or psoriasis, aloe vera is a common ingredient in many cosmetic products thanks to its therapeutic qualities and fresh scent.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, although aloe is 99 per cent water, aloe gel contains substances called glycoproteins which speed up healing by stopping pain and inflammation as well as polysaccharides which stimulate skin growth and repair.
Just when we thought we couldn’t ask anymore of this skin loving plant, aloe vera is now being hailed as the latest superfood. Packed full of vitamins, it may also be taken orally to help with digestion and could also ease the symptoms of IBS.
Aloe juice is available from good health food shops. Try hollandandbarrett.com or thenutricentre.com to see a full range of aloe supplements and juices.
