Naturally reduce the chance of an asthma attack
Is there was a way to naturally reduce the chances you will suffer from an asthma attack? One study in 2005found that 57% of the asthmatics studied found more relief from a combination of conventional and natural treatments, than prescription medicines alone. One of the natural treatments being used was aloe vera. This is not surprising because there are published studies on the benefits of aloe vera for asthma from as far back as 1951 to more recently in the mid 1980's.
Can Aloe Vera Help?
Aloe vera contains natural steroids and other compounds that inhibit or reduce inflammation. Interestingly, the studies done in Japan in the 1980's showed that some compounds in aloe cause in increase in the removal of particles that may be asthma triggers. This is one explanation for how aloe helps asthmatics. Aloe vera should not be used to treat an ongoing asthma attack though because it has only been shown to be effective when used as a preventative measure. So even if you use aloe and it helps, you should still keep your inhaler nearby for attacks.
Aloe Vera Products: Laxative Effect Issues
One issue that many people have with aloe vera products is the natural laxative effect. This may be a plus for some but for many people it's a huge drawback.
Fortunately, one brand of aloe pills, Aloeride® has removed the issue completely. This product does not contain the portion of the plant responsible for the laxative effect. Plus, Aloeride® is pharmaceutical quality and is manufactured to be as pure as possible. Aloeride® is privately prescribed by doctors and therapists but also can be purchased securely via the internet.
