Let’s face it…Constipation is one of those things we just don’t like to talk about. But EVERYONE will get it from at some point. If you’ve suffered from constipation at one time or another, then you know it can be unpleasant  to say the least. You have felt pain. You have felt frustration.

While there are several different ways to unclog those pipes, drinking stabilized Aloe Vera gel is by far the most natural method, and obviously the safer choice.

So what is it about Aloe Vera that makes it such a perfect constipation remedy?

Well first we need to know…What is constipation?

Definition:
Constipation is a condition that affects the digestion system. Constipation is when you have bowel movement less than 3 times a week.

Let’s not get into the detailed definition of a bowel movement.

Symptoms of Constipation:
The stools coming out of you are usually hard, dry and small. Sometimes these stools can also be very dark, nearly black in fact. This makes it a REAL “pain in the butt” because they are difficult to expel.

Constipation in the colon:
Constipation occurs in the colon. So what happens in the colon sometimes STAYS in the colon…for just a little too long. One out of two things can happen in there.

• Colon malfunction #1:
  As your digestive system begins its natural cleansing process, your intestines can absorb too much water from the waste passing through them.

• Colon malfunction #2:
  A colon’s muscular contractions get lazy the waste is moved through to the rectum way too slowly. In either of case, getting the waste OUT can be very painful.

But Never Fear, Aloe Vera is HERE!

For centuries, Aloe Vera has been used to treat our digestive problems, soothe and tone the skin, and strengthen the immune system. The wholesome Aloe leaf contains over 200 compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins.

WHAT CAN ALOE VERA DO FOR DIGESTION?

Aloe Vera is an astringent plant. That means it facilitates muscle contraction. Aloe Vera gel contains anthraquinone glycosides. These natural components will increase your intestinal muscle contractions. As your intestinal muscles contract, the waste will naturally be pushed through into (and very pleasantly out of) your rectum. These same components will soften your stools as well, making it easier to push through and expel. Aloe Vera’s lubricating properties also make the whole movement smoother and ensure that bits of loose fecal matter are also removed from your system.

The end result is complete, safe and natural colon cleansing. Just like Mother Nature intended.

WOW! This sounds exciting.

HOW DO I USE ALOE VERA AS A CONSTIPATION REMEDY?

While there is an assortment of Aloe products out there in the form of pills, powders, and liquids, the only form of Aloe Vera you should ever ingest is STABILIZED ALOE VERA GEL or JUICE.

I recommend this Aloe Vera Gel Drink. I prefer the gel over the juice because the gel contains actual bits of the inner Aloe leaf, and that is where the lion’s share of nutrients reside. The gel also provides the lubricating properties that help your colon smoothly pass the waste through.

Here is a quick and easy formula you can make at home in a under a minute:

• Mix 1/2 of Aloe Vera Gel Drink with 1/2 of your favorite juice.
• Cranberry Juice, Peach Juice, or Pomegranate Juice tastes best.
• Stir it up with a spoon. Or shake it if you feel like James Bond at the moment.
• Squeeze in a couple of drops of lemon juice for good measure.
• And drink up…Enjoy!
• VIOLA! Instant laxative and colon cleanser.

Repeat the process for 5 days and then rest for 2 days. Then start back up again. And make sure to monitor the results.

I’d love to know how you did. So please feel free to come back and post a comment or two about your experience.
