Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 it is called "kumari," or young woman, and in this regard the juice is taken on a daily basis as a female restorative (rasayana), about 50 mL (2 palas) daily the fresh juice corrects the function of the liver (pitta) and bowels (vata), and when applied topically reduces heat and inflammation (pitta) and dryness (vata) - it is particularly useful for burns as an analgesic and wound-healer - in this regard the juice is superior to the purified gel commonly found in the marketplace the highly concentrated juice extract however should be avoided - it is a powerful purgative that is too strong for most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Aloe Vera Aloe vera has historically been known for assisting the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, and for its properties of soothing, cleansing and helping the body to maintain healthy tissues. This plant has a reputation of facilitating digestion, aiding blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as kidney, liver and gall bladder functions. Aloe contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. It naturally alkalizes digestive juices to prevent overacidity - a common cause of digestive complaints. A newly discovered compound in aloe, acemannan, is currently being studied for its ability to strengthen the immune system. Studies have shown acemannan to boost T-lymphocyte cells that aid natural resistance. Tired of spam?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks the lady lives in Fair Oaks California, do you know of a company where in the US she can buy the Aloe Vera from, as most of the brands have additives in them, which is not good news. Cheers Ray hi ray two things you might try, along with gentle liver support are amalaki, in decoction, 100 mL bid and/or fresh aloe juice (not gel), 50-200 mL up to three times a day or more, depending on how well she tolerates it todd caldecottt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
