INFORMATION:
Aloe vera is a succulent plant with thick, pointed, and fleshy green leaves. Each leaf contains a slimy tissue that stores water; this water filled tissue is the gel that people associate with aloe vera products. The gel contains most of the beneficial bioactive compounds like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
Aloe vera is most commonly used in its raw form by cutting open a leaf and applying the gel inside to an affected area, like sunburned skin. The clear gel of the allow vera plant has been used topically for centuries to help treat wounds, skin infections, and burns. More research needs to be done, but the antioxidants known as polyphenols are said to have antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic properties.
While you will mostly find aloe vera in skin lotions and cosmetics, it is also being added to beverages. Holistic medicine suggests that aloe vera tea can help with low energy and digestive health. Some compounds in the leaves are said to have a laxative effect that may help with constipation. The laxative and diuretic properties are why these leaves are often found in detox and weight loss products. Moderation and monitored use are recommended - it is best to listen to your body to see if aloe vera tea is best for you.
Aloe vera tea is bitter with a citrusy flavor that finishes with notes of cedar wood. It pairs best with sweet herbs and fruits to brighten up the flavor profile.
