Aloe Vera And Constipation
By: Victoria Snelling
Aloe vera, in liquid or capsule form, offers many protective benefits to the gastrointestinal tract. This plant extract will also relieve symptoms of constipation when taken as the label directs.Aloe contains compounds called anthraquinones that will cause a gentle contraction of the walls of the colon. This produces a bowel movement, usually within six hours. Aloe Vera juice, NOT Aloe Vera gel, can safely be used for occasional constipation. If your problem is chronic, look to your diet and water intake as a more permanent solution.
