Aloe – The Healing Plant

Aloe vera is a perennial plant that grows in warmer climates. It has succulent leaves that are filed with a clear thick gel-like substance. From this substance, aloe vera gel is made. Since ages ago, aloe vera gel has been used as a topical medicine for skin ailments.

Another healing substance obtained from the aloe vera plant is aloe vera juice! Aloe vera juice is extracted from the green thorny leaf of the plant. It has a lighter consistency than aloe vera juice.

Both of the above extracts: aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice can be used to treat candida. Below, let’s see some of the ways on how to use aloe vera to treat candida. But first, let’s first explore what candida is, shall we?

Where to Get Aloe Vera Gel & Juice

Please ensure to purchase the purest organic aloe vera gel you can find. I recommend Amara Organics 100% Pure Aloe Vera Gel, which comes in a 8 oz flip top bottle. As for the aloe vera juice, Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice is one of the best in my opinion.

Candida – Overgrowth of Yeast in the Body

Candida is a type of yeast that naturally exists in our bodies. But when the yeast multiply without control, it becomes a bad thing.

Overgrowth of candida causes candidiasis infections on various places of the body, including the mouth (oral thrush), vaginally (yeast infections) and gastro-intestinally.

To treat candida, doctors prescribe oral and topical anti-fungal infections. If you are in the beginning stages of candida infection, or are prone to candida and suffer frequent infections, then you may try using aloe vera. It has natural anti-fungal properties which can help clear up candida and prevent it from recurring.

How to Use Aloe Vera to Treat Candida

1. Topical Treatment

Aloe vera gel is so soothing when applied externally. You can apply it directly on your candida rashes/lesions for relief. To make a more potent topical treatment, mix aloe vera with anti-candida essential oils! Here is the recipe:

2. Internal Application

Consuming aloe vera juice daily can help reduce acidity in your body. An acidic environment in the body is one of the triggers that makes candida go out of control.

Aloe vera juice also helps control the candida colonies inside our bodies. Drink 1 to 3 oz of pure aloe vera juice every day to keep your candida in check!
