Aloe Vera, or Ghrit Kumari in Sanskrit, is a member of the lily family and is very cactus-like in its characteristics. The leaves contain the clear healing gel that is 96% water. The other four percent contains 75 known substances including Vitamins A, B, C, E, calcium, amino acids for protein building, and enzymes used in the digestive system.
When taken in liquid form it works on weak digestion, low immunity, fatigue, joint pains, vitamin deficiency and dull skin. As a natural anti-oxidant and blood purifier, Aloe Vera strengthens the immune system and improves digestion. It is a great skin tonic and anti-aeging agent.
It balances all three doshas : it is soothing for vata, cooling for pitta and clearing for kapha.
