Remarkable Plant Egyptians Believed Was The Key To Immortality (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

(N.Morgan) Aloe Vera is a succulent plant species that may have originated in North America. 

This amazing, healing plant was known to the Egyptians as the “Plant of Immortality” and to Native Americans as the “Wand of Heaven”, due to it’s wondrous healing powers.

Aloe vera has a wide array of healing properties — some of which you may already know.

You may have your own aloe vera plant in your home for those minor emergencies such as scrapes, cuts, and burns. 

A fact that many are unaware of is that aloe vera is not only limited to topical use and is actually even more beneficial to your body when ingested.

Aloe vera contains over 200 biologically active, naturally occurring constituents which include polysaccharides, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and minerals that promote nutrient absorption.

As reported by  The Journal of Environmental Science and Health, aloe vera also possesses anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties that assist the immune system in cleansing the body of toxins and invading pathogens. But that isn’t all aloe vera juice/gel has to offer.

Minerals

Aloe vera has loads of minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, sodium, iron, potassium, copper, and manganese. These minerals work together to boost metabolic pathways.

Enzymes

Aloe Vera contains important enzymes like amylase and lipase which can aid in digestion by breaking down fat and sugar molecules. One molecule in particular, Bradykinase, helps to reduce inflammation.

Vitamins

Amazingly, aloe vera is one of the few plants that contains vitamin B12, which is required for the production of red blood cells. This is great news for vegetarians and vegans in particular, who often do not get adequate amounts of B12 through their regular diet. Aloe vera is also a source of vitamins A, C,E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), and B6.

Amino Acids

Aloe vera contains 20 of the 22 essential amino acids that are required by the human body. It also contains salicylic acid, which fights inflammation and bacteria.

More Ways To Use Aloe

Besides being an excellent body cleanser, aloe also removes toxic matter from the stomach, kidneys, spleen, bladder, liver, and colon. Aloe can also offer effective relief from more immediate ailments, such as indigestion, upset stomach, ulcers, and inflammation in the gut.

It also helps to strengthen the digestive tract and alleviates joint inflammation, making it a excellent alternative for arthritis sufferers.

One study found that aloe vera juice, when taken the same way as a mouthwash, was just as effective at removing plaque as the common mouthwash and its active ingredient, chlorhexidine.

This is a much healthier alternative due to it’s being all-natural, unlike the typical chemical-laden options found in stores.

Aloe vera gel has also been found to effectively heal mouth ulcers, which are more commonly known as canker sores.

How To Take Aloe

Aloe can be consumed straight from the plant, but the easiest and most palatable option is probably aloe juice, which you can find in most health food stores.

You can also buy the leaves from many common grocery stores, or harvest your own, and juice them yourself.

You can buy it in gel form and mix it into your juices and smoothies or just drink it straight up.

It does have a somewhat bitter taste though, so you may want to include other things, though there are brands that don’t have any taste at all and can be added to anything.

It is very beneficial to drink this juice daily, in the case you are using it to assist with a specific ailment, please talk to a natural health expert and do your own research into the topic to find instructions in regards to what dosage is right for you.

In the video below Dr. Group discusses the benefits of aloe vera from aiding with digestion to helping treat cuts and burns.

        Herusa…. can you translate your comment? Or better not, I think is a sore one.

      well they found the plant to be cancerous in mice, but i guess cancer has its own immortality?

        You cannot definitely prove that it is only beneficial,but if you were to choose between two things of which one is personal experience and the other by a Pharmaceutical company,which one would you choose?

        National Toxicology Program is funded by the US government,need i say more.

        If you pump enough of anything into a tiny little mouse body it will develope cancer….or just die. “They” have already admitted that most of their test use 100 times more of whatever they’re testing than the average person/creature could consume in its lifetime. BTW. One research team found that water can cause heart attacks. Be afraid. Be very afraid. LOL
        Oh and my granny drank aloe all her life, sadly she only lived to be 103. I guess it’s not much for Immortality. *chuckle*

      Hello Angle#3(prelim),

      Charlie here. I only know the aloe plant as a “burn” healer. When you burn yourself accidentally like 1st or maybe up to 2nd degree burns and you will have no scarring after.

      I know my mother used it once on my brother who burned himself accidentally. She said some magic words and put it on him and she said there would be no scarring. And there wasn’t any after. I think she also sprinkled water from a bowl too.

      My mother always had a aloe plant in our yard for this purpose. So keep a plant around or two.

      BTW, I have heard of the other uses but was never sure of it.

      Signed,

      Charlie (I did not see anything about it removing cravings for doughnuts so I think it is safe to eat) :lol: :lol:

    • BuzEaston

      The Egyptians thought this was the key to immortality. How many of those Egyptians are still around? I rest my case.

      • Nicole Morgan (Investigative Reporter)

        :lol: :lol: well played, Buz and good point.. :lol: :lol:

        Pinky, I drink aloe vera juice..

        I have used it on burns, as you mentioned..

        I have found a brand that lacks that awful taste and it can be added to any drink..

        I have used to to treat acid reflux, tummy upset, and for just good health.

        Aloe juice is really good for those who suffer from IBDs/IBS.

        And Pinky, I don’t think there is anything in this world that would ever remove the craving for doughnuts!

        That’s crazy talk.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    • Down to EarthThinking.com

      Good read, informative ! Aloe is a very powerful healing plant indeed. I grow a lot of it and use it regularly for such. I eat it regularly as well I also write about it at my site on the gardening page, here is a link

      http://www.downtoearththinking.com/gardening.html

      much more common sense there as well on many subjects and the many illusions we all live under here in USSA today !!

    • wiseoldlady

      A dear lady lived across the street from us and drank aloe vera juice daily. She lived to be 85 but had dementia for at least the final decade of her life.
