Aloe Vera is widely valued for its ability to heal even the most severe burns and to soothe irritated skin. In fact, Aloe Vera is listed as effective for a very wide range of ailments. This always makes me a little bit skeptical, but in the case of Aloe Vera, most of the reports seem to be true. Taken internally, Aloe Vera is a laxative and a regulator of bowel function. Some sources report that Aloe Vera is a strong purgative, causing a great deal of cramping. I have not found this to be true. Nevertheless, I would recommend caution with Aloe Vera during pregnancy. Some people have found it effective, in small quantities, in the healing of ulcers.
