The benefits of Aloe Vera for Your Body & Hair

Growing up I always thought of aloe vera as the slimy green bitters my mother would bribe me to eat with the promise of a piece of chocolate right behind it.  I also knew aloe vera as  "Single Bible", that's what people from that Caribbean call it.  So when my mother would say my name and "Single Bible" in the same sentence I would cringe.  The good ole days.  Here are a few reasons why you should use aloe vera to enhance your health.

What Aloe Vera can do to Help Hair:

• Promotes hair growth
• Cleansing Shampoo Treatment
• Hydrates hair/Conditioning
• Helps decrease breakage
• Protects against heat

The gel-like substance of the aloe barbadensis leaf gives it a similar chemical composition of keratin, the naturally occurring protein in hair cells. This structural similarity allows for easier penetration along the entire length of the hair shaft

   The Effects of Aloe Vera on the Body:

•  Aloe Vera  strengthens the immune system with is contents of  23 peptides contained by the plant
•  Accelerates and regulates the metabolism
•  Purifies the human body from toxins 
•  Stimulate the cell-renewing process
• Aloe vera nourishes and supports the digesting of aliments

Aloe Vera can also be digested internally with its amazing nourishing capabilities. When mixed with other fruits, aloe vera can be ingested as an excellent natural beverage rich in vitamins and minerals. Also, it is recommended that it is ingested during travels to prevent dehydration.

I hope this helped! 

Until next time
