...What's Got Me Feelin' So Good (Pt. 5)

Consider this a public service announcement about that prickly, green plant which resembles desert flora that every one's grandmother has growing around the house. I'm speaking of aloe vera. I don't think you can consider yourself full grown until you have your own plant in your own house and now I know why.

As you probably gathered from the last post, I've been working on my skin. Well for vanity's sake I also read somewhere that aloe vera juice if taken internally will will brighten dark spots in your complexion.

I'm pleased to say this is true but I've found a much better use for this drink. As I always do I did some additional reading up on this product before purchasing. It has a tremendous effect on your gastrointestinal tract and stomach related issues.

Recently, I had a mild case of acid reflux that was arrested instantly by this juice. I only take a shot glass full but awesome benefits.

I recommended it to my Mom. She had been on "the purple pill" for a few years now. She was so impressed with how well this worked the very first time, she has begun to wean herself off of this pill for a more natural alternative.

We use a brand that has had the bitters removed and the result is a drink that tastes just like spring water. I also have aloe vera gel in my fridge to use in much the same way my grandmother would use the sap from and aloe vera plant for scrapes and cuts. According to the packaging, the gel is safe to consume. You can take a couple of ounces of the gel straight up or mixed with juice. I've also read both the gel and juice are awesome for hair.

So the next time you wanna play grown but don't want to incur any additional bills pick up anything aloe vera - you'll feel like a sage in no time flat for a fraction of the cost.
