Aloe Vera - the Miracle Plant

Aloe Vera has been used for centuries for health and healing. Originally from Africa, the spikey, succulent leaves of the Aloe plant have long been used for both external and internal medicinal purposes.

Most people know that rubbing aloe on a burn or cut promotes healing. The effects of aloe on the skin can mainly be attributed to the high concentration of amino acids found in it, along with vitamins (C and E), essential fatty acids and zinc.

Did you also know, that according to the Journal of Alternative Medicine, aloe vera juice is effective in treating inflammation of the digestive tract? Aloe has been shown to help prevent arthritis and reduce inflammation of the joints in other studies. Taken internally, aloe has been shown to be effective in relieving indigestion, acid reflux, constipation and generally enhancing digestive health.

Herbalife offers several wonderful products based on the benefits of the aloe vera plant.

Herbal Aloe Drink is a light citrus-flavored drink that helps heal your digestive tract.

Herbal Aloe Soothing Gel is the way to soothe, nourish and hydrate your skin with the benefits of aloe.
