Aloe vera is such a versatile plant, and Patanjali’s range of aloe vera products taps into its broad range of benefits pretty well. Starting with the aloe vera gel - it’s one of those things that can become a staple in your skincare routine pretty fast. You mentioned acne and dryness and yup, aloe vera gel can be a game changer there. It’s got this cooling effect that really soothes sunburns and irritation. On top of that, its natural anti-inflammatory properties work wonders on acne.
For people looking at long-term skin health, aloe vera has been praised for its ability to improve skin elasticity due to its hydrating properties and the presence of compounds that support collagen production. Now, it won’t magically erase wrinkles overnight, but with consistent use, you may notice your skin feels firmer and more bouncy. Applying aloe vera gel daily is generally safe – some people even leave it on overnight for that extra hydration boost.
Switching gears to aloe vera juice, it’s revered in Ayurveda for aiding digestion due to its cooling action on the gut and its ability to balance pitta dosha – but take it slow at first. Consuming about 10-20 ml a day is usually enough, taken on an empty stomach in the morning. There are potential side effects like stomach cramping or diarrhea if taken excessively, so starting with a smaller amount is a safe bet.
And the shampoo, well! It’s targeted more towards nourishing the scalp, strengthening hair and reducing hair fall. If hair fall is one of your concerns, the combination of aloe with other herbs in the shampoo can help in maintaining hair health and promoting growth.
As for combining with other remedies, that’s where individualized approaches come in. If you know your dosha type, you can pair these products with other foods and habits that balance your constitution. For example, following a pitta-balancing diet if you’re pitta dominant could enhance the benefits of aloe vera.
Many folks report visible changes within weeks of consistent use, but it really varies. So I’d suggest paying attention to how your skin and body respond and adjust accordingly. It’s always great to listen to your own body cues!
