4. How Aloe Vera Helps you fight Constipation
Thanks to its high water content, combined with its laxative effects, Aloe Vera can also help in combating constipation. One of the main contributors to its exalted status in traditional medicine, the anti-constipation properties of Aloe Vera’s latex, the sticky yellow residue present just under the skin of the leaf, helps in relaxing the tissues and easing up your bowels.

5. Skincare
You can use aloe vera to keep your skin clear and hydrated. This may be because the plant thrives in dry, unstable climates. To survive the harsh conditions, the plant’s leaves store water. These water-dense leaves, combined with special plant compounds called complex carbohydrates, make it an effective face moisturizer and pain reliever. (Source: healthline.com)
