Lore:

Global Historically, Aloe has been prized for its properties of soothing, cleansing and helping the body to maintain healthy tissues, internally and externally. Aloe has a reputation for easing digestion, aiding blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as kidney, liver and gall bladder functions, and the functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Aloe contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. It naturally alkalizes digestive juices to prevent overacidity - a common cause of digestive complaints. A newly discovered compound in aloe, acemannan, is currently being studied for its ability to strengthen the immune system. Studies have shown acemannan to boost T-lymphocyte cells that aid natural resistance.
