Aloe Vera, The Wonder Plant

Cosmetic companies add Aloe Vera to their products because of its excellent moisturizing properties due to the plant's extremely high water content. The gel can also be a good anti-aging agent if applied on a regular basis. It has 96% water content and the rest of the 4% contains active ingredients including amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. These properties of the plant makes it one of the popular ingredients used for natural skin care since it is cheaper to maintain and cultivate. The low cost of cultivating the plant makes it convenient for almost anyone to grow it in their homes. A lot of Aloe Vera gels are available from the stores, but only those that come from reputable manufacturers could come close to the same effectiveness of a freshly cut Aloe Vera plant.

Aloe Vera are also used to produce beverages. It is also commonly used as ingredients to yogurt in Japan. Whatever you consume, whether it'll be juice or the yogurt, just make sure that the Aloe Vera used was fresh since its active ingredients easily oxidizes.

The fact that only a few people are allergic to it makes it one of the most popular ingredients in making skin care products. Having both antibiotic and antiseptic properties, Aloe Vera is effective in soothing skin irritations caused by cuts, burns, and eczema. Studies show that the healing time of severe burns were reduced when Aloe Vera is applied regularly to it.

Though acid reflux disease is among the most widespread condition that the adult population is suffering from, it remains mostly vague to many. This complicated condition that basically disturbs the digestive tract is commonly indicated by heartburn which is the burning sensation felt in the chest because of the inflammation of the esophagus that lies close to the heart, thus the name. But unknown to others, one can already be a victim of acid reflux disorder without having to experience heartburn. There may also surface seemingly separate symptoms of other illnesses but what you may not know is that you are already suffering from acid reflux disorder.

The effects of acid reflux disorder vary widely from common discomforts to long-term damage that may even bring rise to other severe illnesses. Because of the closeness in terms of anatomical location and functions of the digestive system to the respiratory system, respiratory problems such as further symptoms of asthma, sinusitis and dry cough may be caused by the disorder. Aside from the damage in the esophagus, the regurgitation may reach the throat and even the mouth that may result to the erosion of the lining of the throat and even the teeth. This recurring disorder may affect the esophagus by wearing out its outermost covering making the passage narrower. This medical state is known as esophagitis that may turn into ulcers. Long-term exposure to acid reflux may cause the cells in the esophageal walls to become discolored and deformed. This signs are indications of Barret's Esophagus which adds on to the risk of the patient acquiring cancer.

When the esophagus becomes irritated, different types of signs and symptoms may arise varying from one patient to the other. Aside from heartburn, some of the most common symptoms of acid reflux disorder include further regurgitation indicated by the acidic or sour taste in the mouth, nausea and/or vomiting, a seemingly persistent lump in the throat, coughing, and bad breathe. In rare and serious cases a person suffering from acid reflux disorder may even vomit blood, and this should immediately be brought the attention of a doctor.
