What Are the Medicinal Benefits of Aloe Vera, and How Should It Be Used as Medicine? - #11864

Anonymously

Aloe vera is one of the most commonly used plants for its health benefits, but I am curious to know more about aloe vera medicine and how it can be used for different ailments. I’ve used aloe vera gel for skincare, but I want to know if it has any medicinal uses beyond that, especially in Ayurveda. I have heard that aloe vera medicine can be used to treat digestive issues, such as constipation and acid reflux. Is this true? If so, how should it be consumed? Should I drink aloe vera juice or take it in another form for digestive health? Another use of aloe vera that I’ve read about is for detoxification. Some people say aloe vera helps flush toxins from the body and can improve overall health. Is this supported by Ayurvedic practices, and if so, how should aloe vera be consumed for detox? I’m also interested in aloe vera medicine for skin problems. I know that aloe vera is often applied topically for burns, cuts, and acne, but does it also help with conditions like eczema and psoriasis? How effective is aloe vera in treating these conditions, and what’s the best way to apply it to the skin? Lastly, are there any precautions I should take when using aloe vera internally? Is it safe for long-term use, or should it be used intermittently for best results?

Aloe Vera Medicine & Uses in Ayurveda Aloe vera (Kumari in Ayurveda) is used for digestion, detoxification, and skin health. It helps relieve constipation and acid reflux by soothing the stomach lining. Drinking aloe vera juice (15-20 ml with water) on an empty stomach is recommended for digestion, but excessive intake can cause loose stools. For detoxification, Ayurveda supports aloe vera as a natural blood purifier and liver tonic. Consuming fresh aloe vera gel or juice helps flush toxins, but it should be used in moderation to avoid Pitta imbalance. Aloe vera is effective for eczema, psoriasis, and acne due to its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. Apply fresh gel directly to affected areas or mix with turmeric for added benefits. Internally, prolonged use should be avoided, especially for pregnant women or those with low blood pressure.
