Many people flock to aloe vera for sunburns, cuts, and scrapes. But did you know this powerful plant can boost your detox game too?
Yep, it’s true! Aloe vera boasts potent detoxification properties. So let’s dive into this soothing succulent and the health benefits it offers.
How Does Aloe Vera Help You Detox?
Aloe vera has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. Yet, many people only think to use it topically as a natural first-aid remedy.
But its health benefits run just as deep when used internally. Here are five ways aloe vera promotes better detox:
1 - Aids digestion
Feeling a little “backed up?” Aloe vera can help. Research shows it’s an effective treatment for constipation. (1) Its sky-high water content helps you stay hydrated to keep things moving, so you can flush those toxins out!
The mucilage in aloe vera is helpful in soothing the gut lining and is shown to reduce abdominal pain and gas in IBS patients. (2)
2 - Alkalizes body
Aloe vera is naturally alkaline and helps balance your pH. Maintaining a healthy acid/alkaline balance can reduce inflammation and protect your body from disease.
3 - Enhances immunity
Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support a robust immune system. Plus, science shows it possesses both antibacterial and antiviral properties. (3, 4)
4 - Calms the nervous system
Feeling stressed? Try some aloe vera. It possesses adaptogenic properties helping you chill out and build resilience to stress.
5 - Binds mycotoxins
Research shows aloe vera effectively binds those pesky mycotoxins. In fact, when aloe vera was added to chicken feed contaminated with aflatoxin B1, it had a 69% adsorption rate! (5) Amazing news for anyone dealing with mold illness!
