Relieve Constipation with Aloe

Menstruating or pregnant women should not use Aloe Vera,
in any form, to relieve constipation.

Aloe Vera is a miracle herb that has been around for thousands
of years. It has been used for both external and internal problems,
skin rashes, burns, ulcers, internal bleeding. It also promotes bowel
movements, which helps to relieve constipation. I have found that some
people are allergic to Aloe Vera. So if you show a rash or have any
other undesirable symptoms, don't use it.

Aloe is an astringent, acts to tighten muscles, and has purgative
and laxative action, dispels fecal matter that has collected in your
colon. There are many aloe vera products to choose from. For best
results, choose an aloe that is close to that of fresh organic aloe
whole leaf.

Using Aloe Vera Gel to Relieve Constipation

Take two tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel mixed with apple juice.
You can use other types of juices that fit your taste.

If you use aloe juice drink, mix 1/3 of aloe juice with 2/3 of a
juice you like just before bedtime or just on awakening.

Or, if you can handle the taste of the juice, drink a glass of
Aloe Vera juice as soon as you wake up and one just before bedtime.
This will promote a bowel movement when you wake up.

Relieve Constipation with Aloe Vera Capsules

Aloe Vera can also be taken in capsules. Because aloe can
have a strong griping action, it is best to take this herb
with a calmative herb such as turmeric. Aloe can also be mixed
with powdered fennel seeds. But, you can take Aloe as described
above and see how you react to it. I know many people who take it
without turmeric and they don't experience any side effects

The best Aloe Vera is, of course, fresh Aloe gel from a leaf.
Look for an aloe that has been hand and not machine pressed.
When aloe has been machine pressed, it can be contaminated with
the yellow sap that is contained in the outer skin of the aloe leaf.

This yellow sap has strong laxative and irritating action in the
gastrointestinal tract. A good aloe should not have more than 10
parts per million of yellow sap.

Aloe has been shown to lower blood sugar levels. Diabetics may find
a need to lower medication dosages when using aloe for a long time.
But monitor this with your blood tester and your doctor.

In addition, aloe vera has a cleansing action and restores a healthy
balance of the good bacteria in your colon.

Here's how to use Aloe Vera to relieve constipation

Use aloe for 5 days and then rest 2 days. Using Aloe on and off
like this can help to reduce allergic reactions from long-term use.

Typical recommendations are:

Aloe gel - 2 tablespoon each day

Aloe Vera juice - 1 quart each day

Aloe Vera concentrate - 5 g up to 3 times each day

Remember, if you're pregnant do not use Aloe Vera.
It has not been studied for women during this period.

Drinking peppermint tea when taking aloe vera capsules can
relieve mild cases constipation. You can also mix aloe gel
with peppermint tea to form a constipation drink.

Taking Aloe Vera to relieve constipation will get you the
desired result.
