WHAT IS ALOE USED FOR?
As is the case with many health plants, the function depends on the form in which the plant is delivered. Aloe vera products are made from the juice, the gel, and the whole leaf, and come in tablets, capsules, juices, gels, topical ointments, and lotions. Aloe gel and juice are considered demulcent and have soothing properties for the skin. A group of plant chemicals called Polysaccharides is also present in Aloe although only found in preparations using the Whole Leaf since these immune supporting chemicals are not found in the inner gel or juice but in the "skin" or outer parts of the plant. In summary, Aloe supports the body's natural elimination processes and soothes the intestinal tract, mucous membranes, and skin.

Aloe
Aloe is one of the most commonly used health plants of all time. The genus is native to Africa and is very common in South Africa’s Cape Province. Aloe has been widely cultivated throughout the world and especially in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, in the United States. Although Aloe Vera is a tropical plant, the root can survive freezing air temperatures, so long as the ground is not frozen and the root destroyed. One of the first recorded accounts in our understanding of Aloe can be found in the Greek Herbal of Dioscorides (41 A.D.-68 A.D.). This master of Roman pharmacology developed his knowledge and skill as he traveled with that great empire's armies.

....Acid Relief Solution #2:
Soothing Aloe Vera
Aloe vera was dubbed the "plant of immortality" by the ancient Egyptians. This soothing gel contains powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that have been used for decades to relieve the stinging from sunburn and other burns. And when it comes to acid issues and heartburn, aloe vera offers many terrific benefits.*
• It helps combat the inflammatory fires in your stomach that can lead to pain, bloating, burning and acid issues.*
• It helps stimulate better digestion, and the better you're able to digest the foods you eat, the less gas, bloating, acid issues and heartburn you get.*
In one study, researchers found that aloe improved intestinal motility, thereby speeding up bowel emptying. At the end of the study, participants reported less bloating after meals and reduced flatulence.[15]

In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, researchers tested Aloe for its inflammatory response in the intestines. The result: Clinical researchers found that patients who took aloe for 4 weeks had measurable improvements in inflammatory factors with no side effects.*[16]

Please note: The aloe plant can have some unwanted laxative effects, so it is extremely important to find an aloe product that has the latex portion removed to avoid this issue. ACTIValoe® is one such brand that I recommend. (Joshua corn. 2 Causes of Heartburn and Acid Most Doctors Ignore)
