Korzyści stosowania kremu z aloesem pod oczy - Wszystko, co powinieneś wiedzieć
Aloe Vera Benefits
This plant-based remedy contains chemicals that reduce swelling in the skin, relieve redness and scaling, soothe itchy skin, and promote the growth of new skin cells. These properties make aloe vera useful for treating skin conditions such as:
- Acne
- Cold sores (herpes)
- Cuts and scrapes
- Insect bites and stings
- Minor burns and sunburn
- Psoriasis
When taken by mouth, aloe vera may help lower cholesterol and blood sugar and ease heartburn.
Aloe vera for acne
Pimples form when oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog up hair follicles, which then get inflamed and form small bumps. Aloe vera has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that might help with acne, but there hasn’t been enough research to confirm that it works. In one of the few studies that exist, the combination of aloe vera gel and the acne medicine tretinoin improved breakouts more than tretinoin alone, and with fewer side effects.
Aloe vera for burns
Aloe vera’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects make it useful for treating burns. Applying a layer of aloe vera to minor burns and sunburned skin might help the skin heal faster, and reduce redness, itching, and pain, research finds. Aloe also helps prevent burns from getting infected.
Aloe vera gel feels soothing on sunburned skin. It moisturizes while it heals, which may prevent you from peeling as much.
Aloe vera and cholesterol
Aloe vera for constipation
Aloe vera juice and aloe latex are promoted as a treatment for constipation. Aloe contains substances (such as barbaloin) that act as laxatives. Barbaloin increases the amount of water in the intestine, which could make poop easier to pass and help digested foods move more easily through the intestines.
Aloe juice and latex used to be in over-the-counter constipation drugs. But because aloe can cause painful cramps and other side effects, the FDA does not consider it safe to use as a laxative.
Aloe Vera Risks
Talk to your doctor before using aloe vera.
Aloe vera gel is safe to apply to the skin. Taking it by mouth can also be safe if you use the right dose and only take it for a short time.
Aloe vera side effects
Topical aloe vera can irritate the skin and cause hives in people who are sensitive to it.
Taking high doses of aloe latex by mouth could cause belly pain, kidney damage, and an electrolyte imbalance. It may also increase cancer risk.
Side effects if you take aloe vera by mouth include:
- Cramps
- Diarrhea
- Throwing up
- Low blood potassium levels
- Sun sensitivity
- Allergic reactions
Aloe vera can also stain the colon, making it hard for your doctor to see it clearly during a colonoscopy. Ask your doctor whether you need to stop using aloe vera before a colonoscopy.
Aloin is a substance in aloe vera that acts like a laxative and can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. If aloe causes gastrointestinal problems, you can look for aloin-free aloe vera products.
Who should avoid aloe vera?
Do not apply topical aloe vera to open or deep wounds. People who are allergic to garlic, onions, or tulips are more likely to be allergic to aloe. If you get a rash, stop using aloe gel.
Don’t use oral aloe vera if you have diabetes and you take medicine to lower your blood sugar. Aloe could lower your blood sugar too much. Avoid this supplement if you have nausea, belly pain, or diarrhea, as it could make these symptoms worse.
If you're pregnant, you shouldn't take aloe latex because it might increase the risk of early labor or miscarriage. It’s also not recommended for use during breastfeeding because it may cause diarrhea and other side effects in your baby. Aloe latex and whole-leaf extract aren’t safe for children under 12.

Health Benefits of Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a cactus-like plant used for centuries as medicine to treat sunburn, rashes, burns, wounds, and other skin conditions. In addition to external uses, aloe vera is thought by some to treat constipation, heartburn, and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) when taken internally.
Aloe vera is widely available as a distilled juice, dietary supplement, and ingredient in face creams, body lotions, and skin ointments. Although the stems of the aloe plant and the gooey gel inside can be eaten raw or cooked, they may be unsafe if consumed in excess.

Krémek
Az aloe vera áldásos hatásainak felfedezése nem mai történet, hiszen már Kolumbusz Kristóf is jó néhány aloe vera növény társaságában szállt fel a fedélzetre annak érdekében, hogy a vele utazó zsoldosait eredményesen tudja velük gyógyítani. Az aloe vera gél mind belsőleg, mind pedig külsőleg is nagyon eredményesen vethető be. A tiszta levélbelsőből nyert gél 260 aktív összetevőből áll: így többek között 20 féle ásványi anyagot, 18 féle aminosavat és 12 féle vitamint tartalmaz. A növény egyik titka, hogy úgy fejti ki a legjobban a hatását, ha a lehető legtisztább formában alkalmazzuk, pont úgy, ahogy azt a természet megadta. Büszkén jelenthetjük ki, hogy a Forever termékek (pl. Forever aloe vera krém) kiemelkedő tisztaságban tartalmazzák az aloe vera gélt, így méltán érdemelték ki a Nemzetközi Aloe Tudományos Tanács elismerő pecsétjét!
