How Can Aloe Vera Be Used for Medicinal Purposes, and What Are Its Benefits? - #12025

Anonymously

I’ve heard a lot about aloe vera and its benefits for both skin and health, but I want to understand more about how it’s used in Ayurvedic medicine. What are the medicinal uses of aloe vera, and how does it improve overall health according to Ayurveda? From what I understand, Aloe Vera is primarily used for its cooling and soothing properties. How does it help treat conditions like sunburn, eczema, and other skin irritations? How should Aloe Vera be applied topically for the best results, and is there a recommended method for using it on the skin? I’ve also heard that Aloe Vera is beneficial for digestive health. How does it improve gut health, relieve constipation, and help with acid reflux? What is the best way to consume Aloe Vera internally—whether as juice, powder, or in capsules? What other health benefits does Aloe Vera offer, such as boosting immunity or improving blood sugar levels? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using Aloe Vera regularly, especially for those with sensitive skin or stomach issues?

Aloe Vera, known as Kumari in Ayurveda, is a cooling and rejuvenating herb with multiple health benefits. It is widely used for skin conditions like sunburn, eczema, and irritation due to its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties—best applied fresh as a gel directly on the skin or mixed with cooling herbs like sandalwood. For digestion, Aloe Vera juice aids in soothing acidity, relieving constipation, and promoting gut health by balancing Pitta and Vata dosha; 10-20 ml of fresh juice on an empty stomach is commonly recommended. It also supports immunity, liver health, and blood sugar regulation. However, excessive use may cause loose stools, abdominal cramps, or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Pregnant women, people with kidney issues, and those prone to diarrhea should use it cautiously and consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before regular consumption.
