Aloe Vera and Heartburn relief
October 27, 2009 – 8:41 pmThe juice from the Aloe Vera plant can soothe heartburn. Although there isn’t any scientific evidence that it might help. Aloe Vera juice has a long history of use in Europe as a natural home remedy to relief heartburn. Typically, aloe vera juice is taken (by adults) approximately 20 minutes before a meal.
The aloe vera should not contain any aloe latex, aloin, or aloe-emoin compounds, substances in the aloe plant that are very powerful laxatives. Aloe gel should not be taken directly from the plant as a home remedy, as the gel can be contaminated with the latex. Only gel or juice preparations specifically for internal use should be used.
