Use of Aloevera


On the skin in creams, gels, juices and lotions or in it's raw form no adverse side effects have ever been recorded and this is why it can be found in so many shampoos and cosmetics. But just like any other natural product there are some people who can be allergic to it
Taken orally more care must be considered.


Diabetics and Aloe Vera
Because Aloe Vera cleans the digestive tract it is highly likely that your body will start absorbing more vitamins and minerals than it did before. These will come both from your daily diet and from the Aloe Vera juice itself and can cause your long term blood sugar balance to change.
Before you start drinking Aloe Vera consult your doctor and suggest more regular checks for the first 3 months. Many diabetics have found they can reduce the number of injections they need to take but this has to be done carefully with good medical supervision

People on medication and Aloe Vera


If you are on medication you should consult your doctor before starting to drink Aloe Vera. This is for the same reason as those with Diabetes - it can change and increase what your body absorbs and that includes medication.
Some people have found they can reduce their medication after drinking Aloe Vera because the body is absorbing more of the drug that originally passed through the digestive tract without being properly broken down. But once again this should only be done with qualified medical supervision.

People suffering an illness and Aloe Vera


Illness is exactly the reason why some people start taking Aloe Vera. But before you do read How to use Aloe Vera and make sure you are using Good Quality Aloe Vera
If you are also on prescription medication your doctor aware of the fact that you will also be using Aloe Vera. He may not even be aware of what it is but this is common courtesy.
Note Aloe Vera is often referred to as a 'complementary medicine'. This means that many doctors use it along side conventional drugs and proceedures rather than as an absolute alternative.
