Wonders of Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is known for its application for sunburns, but it can also provide benefits when ingested.
Aloe vera is a fantastic and natural means of healing the body.

Kim McClure, Director of Marketing for Natural Brands at Lily of the Desert, explains that aloe vera contains over 200 active components. These include vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes and amino acids.

People often take aloe vera for digestive issues. It helps balance the pH in the gut. Polysaccharides present in aloe vera act as nutrient carriers, carrying those nutrients to cells in need.

Kim recommends taking aloe vera gel, juice or liquid for internal issues. It’s also a common salve after sun exposure.

Listen as Kim joins Andrea Donsky to describe the wonders of aloe vera.
