10 Reasons To Add Aloe Vera To Your Water

10 Reasons To Add Aloe Vera To Your Water

In my teens I suffered from terrible acid reflux that was controlled mostly by prescription drugs. It felt as if my throat was closing and was hard to swallow. It bothered me 24/7. Sometimes I suffered horrible chest pain near my sternum and felt like I was having a heart attack. After the prescription medicine stopped doing the trick, I turned to holistic treatment and began taking a product that has 3 ingredients— glutamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), and aloe vera gel that cohesively helps support the healthy function of the gastrointestinal lining. After one month of consistent use, I was healed.

For the last 3 months I have been adding aloe vera to my water daily to prevent any future issues with acid reflux. Specifically half an hour before dinner time because that is when I eat my heaviest meal.

Here are the ten reasons you should add aloe to your water too

  • Heals the intestines and lubricates the digestive tract.
  • Hydrates skin.
  • Prevents and treats candida.
  • Reduces high blood pressure.
  • Stabilizes blood sugar.
  • Helps heal wounds, burns, psoriasis, etc.
  • Reduces inflammation.
  • Helps to detoxify.
  • Promotes immunity.
  • Maintains alkalinity.

There are many different types of aloe vera juice or gel that are on the market; make sure that you buy one that has no artificial flavouring or colours. If you prefer it sweetened, find one sweetened with stevia leaf.
