Detoxification

Due to the potassium which it contains, aloe vera improves and stimulates the liver and the kidneys, the principal organs of detoxification. Aloe contains uronic acid which efiminates toxic materials within the cells.

The first time aloe is ingested it tends to cause a slight case of diarrhea because it causes an initial cleansing of the intestines, from bacteria as well as from food stuck in the folds or in the diverticulum.
