10 Benefits of Aloe Vera
Benefit #4: Reduces Constipation
No one likes to admit they have suffered from constipation. If you have ever had less than three bowel movements in a week or experienced hard lump stools that were very difficult to pass, chances are you have experienced constipation. Aloe vera has been used to treat constipation.
Aloe latex, which is a yellowish fluid derived from the inner lining of the leaves, has been used to treat constipation. The key compound in the aloe latex, is a compound called aloin. Aloin has well known laxative benefits. It is not best to use too often as overuse of a laxative can strip you of vital nutrients, thus frequent use is not recommended.
