Aloe Vera drink v Probiotic drinks 1st November 2007
November 1st, 2007 by admin
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital has started a patient on probiotic drinks to help the body replace the good bacteria in the gut that is often destroyed by medical treatment, such as antibiotics, steroids and chemotherapy. Without the good bacteria in the gut, the body cannot function as well, and it causes problems such as indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea, yeast infections and frequent colds.
However, many Bacteria-rich health drinks contain 80% more sugar than cola, whereas aloe vera not only helps to repopulate the digestive system with good bacteria, it helps reduce inflammation, promotes healing and enhances the uptake of nutrients –that’s just some of the stuff that aloe can do – and all without added sugar. So maybe The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital should be looking at giving their patients aloe to drink.
Aloe vera has been used for many centuries by different countries to treat a wide range of internal and external ailments. One of the earliest recorded medicinal uses of aloe vera can be found on an ancient Sumerian clay tablet dating back to 2100BC. Ancient Egyptians were big fans of aloe and called it the ‘plant of immortality.’ Cleopatra used the extracts of the plant in her beauty regime. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the medicinal use of aloe vera spread across the world, until it fell out of favour about two centuries ago, as western societies began to favour modern medical practices and pharmaceutical based treatments. Fortunately, aloe has been ‘rediscovered,’ and more and more people are discovering its healing/health properties for themselves.
