The Best Aloe for the Best Products

Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It’s a mouthful, but it’s a name worth knowing.

There are around 400 species of aloe plants. They are all succulents found in arid regions throughout the world. They’re each beneficial in their own ways, but there is only one species that has been recognized for millenia for its magically soothing abilities—Aloe Barbadensis Miller.

Records of this plant exist on Sumerian clay tablets from as early as 2200 BC. Aloe’s cosmetic and medical benefits were prized the by ancient civilizations of Egypt, China, Greece, Rome, India, and Arabia. Just like these ancient civilizations, Forever Living reveres aloe for its soothing, nurturing properties.

We rely on the most valuable, most exclusive aloe vera to enhance our health and beauty products. We own all the aloe plantations used to make our products, so we can guarantee the purity and potency of all our products.

Our aloe vera products were the first to be awarded The International Aloe Science Council’s Seal of Approval. Look for their seal of approval on all of our aloe products.

We insist on the best—and that’s exactly what you get.

BS, The Irritable Bowel Syndrome is NOT a disease, it's called 'Syndrome' because it is a collection of symptoms and It is diagnosed mainly by eliminating other more serious conditions.

It is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, Abdominal Pain, Bloating, Constipation & Diarrhea or the alternation of the last two.

There are a very large number of people suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and many goes undiagnosed. In fact, as many as 1 in 5 Americans have this condition & most people experience their first symptoms between the ages of 15 and 40.

Though it doesn't permanently harm the intestines and does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer - it can be very distressing and hugely affect one's quality of life.

I've suffered from IBS for long time. I was constipated but I am totally IBS symptom free for the last 4 years. Read how Aloe Vera cured my IBS problem here

Common Causes

Doctors are not very confirmed about the causes of Irritable Bowel Syndrome but Researchers do have a few theories about what causes IBS:

• People with this condition may have a more sensitive colon than others.

• In people with this problem, brain may perceive contractions in the Gut more acutely than others.

• The immune system may respond differently to Stress and infection in people with irritable bowel movements.

• Hormonal changes may trigger the symptoms (80% of patients are women).

Symptoms

1. Constipation:
Constipation happens when the bowel is moving far too slowly, holding the stool for a prolonged period inside the body. Having this problem can be literally painful within the gut region and it is very unhealthily for individuals to live with this issue. Once the vitamins and minerals have been absorbed within the body, the food turns into waste and should be excreted.

I've suffered from this condition myself and I know how discomforting it is. But as you may have read my story, after Drinking aloe vera ..my irritable bowel syndrome is completely gone. And I am free from any symptoms for the last 4 years.

So Yes it is curable.

2. Diarrhea:
This is a very common symptom amongst many sufferers. This is caused by the intestine moving too quickly causing the food to be expelled before it is properly formed.

This is very very uncomfortable situation. I've seen my brother suffering with this condition. And because he has this symptom whenever he has to go out…he takes an extra hour before going out to make sure he'll be ok during the period outside (as the people with this condition tend to worry a lot about having a washroom nearby this stress even triggers theirs condition further)

This causes a lot of anxiety which modern day doctors think is a factor that causes irritable bowels. Instead anxiety can be initiated by other IBS symptoms and can be a result of intestinal flora imbalance.

3. Stomach Bloating and Gas:
Almost all sufferers have this problem to a certain extent. It can be strong pressure within the stomach area or it can simply be gas moving about. Gas is usually detected by stomach noise or some discomfort within the gut region.

Bloating occurs when undigested particles of food reach the small intestines. This area of the gut contains gas-producing bacteria. The gas can be formed shortly after a meal or it can exists long after taking food.

In fact, gas & noise can exist at any point in time, non-coherent to when the food was taken. Many times the bloating can be present immediately after and/or during a mentally and/or physically stressful event.

Many other symptoms of it exists and here is the list below:

Abdominal Pain
Acid Reflux
Allergies
Anxiety/Nervousness
Bladder Uncontrollable
Body Spots
Dizziness
Fibromyalgia
Head Fog
Hot and Cold Sweats
Nausea

*Please note, not all symptoms listed here would affect one person. Each individual may have different subsets and combination of each*

Doctors generally diagnose it after hearing someone describe their symptoms and examining them. The doctor may recommend further tests such as :

• A Sigmoidoscopy,
• A Biopsy,
• A colonoscopy or
• Stool Testing and
• X-rays of the Bowel.

Aloe Vera when taken internally works as a Colon Cleanser and as mentioned in the Health Benefits of Aloe Vera it also helps in our digestive system.
