Aloe vera is a plant that can amaze us because it occurs in an extremely difficult natural environment, in deserts and mountainous areas, yet it is always impressive and looks like a specimen of health, retaining huge amounts of healing juice. Aloe vera juice, which is a secret of the beauty of this plant, can be used for our needs.
This has been used for thousands of years to help dry and sensitive skin. It is able to moisturize it and helps to maintain proper humidity for a long time. It also strengthens blood vessels underneath the skin, kills bacteria causing odour in combination with sweat and effectively prevents aging of the skin.
Advantages of juice
One of the most important features of aloe vera juice is its ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation. It is a dangerous radiation that damages the skin and accelerates the aging process, and makes it more susceptible to various bacteria and viruses. This natural UV filter is able to protect and soothe the skin, eliminate free radicals and act as a barrier to all negative environmental factors. It's a good idea to use juice before you leave home, not just on the beach.
Wound treatment
Aloe vera juice has always been used primarily as a treatment for wounds and various types of skin damage. Already ancient quacks prescribed it for all kinds of boils, yeasts and eczemas. Aloe vera juice effectively fights infections and fungal infections, and also helps with ordinary cuts or bruises. It should be used especially in case of burns and frostbites.
Active ingredients
Aloe vera has a long range of active factors that cause specific phenomena in the skin. The most important of these are monosaccharides and polysaccharides, i.e. sugars that help the body to combat all external threats, such as bacteria. The presence of amino acids, especially those which the body is not able to produce on its own, is primarily responsible for functions related to accelerating wound healing and epidermal regeneration. Plant enzymes and vitamin complex with regulating effects on the body's functions are important. Together with minerals, they provide the body with everything it needs. Very important ingredients are also saponins, which wash the skin and lignins - substances responsible for transporting important ingredients deep into the skin.
Dosage
Aloe vera should be taken one hour before a meal in the total amount of about 50ml per day.
