Healing juice for sunburns, scrapes,
ulcers and more.
The mucilaginous sap of the leaves is
used as a soothing, healing, nutritive
juice. It is used externally on skin
problems including minor wounds, rashes
and burns. Several ounces at a time may
be consumed internally for ulcers,
arthritis or as a laxative. It builds
the immune system and is helpful for
degenerative conditions. Its viscous
fiber lowers bowel transit time, absorbs
bowel toxins and regulates colonic
bacteria.
NSP processing avoids loss of important
nutrients. The leaf is sliced open and
the bitter green outer portion is
removed. The liquid gel is collected.
Vitamin C and sodium benzoate are used
to preserve the juice.
Aloe vera is rich nutritionally as well.
It contains 18 amino acids, vitamins B1,
B2, B6, C, niacinamide, choline and
more.
Aloe Vera Gel is not sticky, spreads
easily, penetrates quickly and contains
Irish Moss extract, which is also good
for the skin.
