Aloe Vera - Use in Cuff & Cold

Aloe vera is loaded with a wide range of health benefits in addition to exerting a rejuvenating and soothing effect on your skin. Although this succulent plant has been used as a traditional medicine and as a natural cosmetic agent, its use as an effective natural remedy for various clinical conditions has increased only in the recent times.


Many people are unaware of the anti-inflammatory property of aloe vera, which helps in relieving a common cold and cough. This natural remedy is quite effective and safe for use in kids and the aged, who are more prone to coughs and colds, especially during the monsoons. It acts as a potent anti-viral and anti-bacterial agent which prevents the growth of microorganisms causing the disease. The active ingredients responsible for anti-inflammatory are sulphur, cinnamic acid, lupeol, salicylic acid and phenol. These compounds clear the microorganisms from the body and also keep these infections at bay thereby providing quick relief from a cough and cold.
Tip: Cut open the aloe vera leaf and scoop out the jelly-like substance with the help of a knife or spoon. Keep this gel on a pan and heat it on a slow flame for 2 – 3 minutes and consume it. It is slightly bitter in taste but is very effective natural remedy to get rid of cough and cold.
